week four: Logo design

I did not like this project very much- i am good at coming up with ideas but not at carrying them out. I am also really bad at drawing so that did not help me not liking the project. It took me a while to create my logo. I started with a few sketches that represented things that mean the most to me and the things that represent me- which was easy. Then i had to figure out how to put some of the items together. My most important discovery about creating a logo was that the first thought is not always the best- you should try multiple ones until u are truely happy with the final work. From the videos and also with my logo i learned that the process of creating a logo is very time consuming. The artists has to be told thought and information about the business, then he starts to brainstorm. once he has ideas in his head he has to come up with multiple sketches- which leads to a proof. The proof then needs to be approved by the customer, before the product is finalized. The pictures of my sketches are hard to see:
the top represents my black belt in karate. The bottom is a chicken wing- it is the nickname i have for my son.
the top one is of an elephant, which i like. The bottom is also an elephant blowing water out of his trunck- to represent both beach/swimming and elaphants.the left one is a sunflower. The right is of a puzzle piece- tattoo i want to get for my son.
this is my final logo- it incorporates most of the images in my sketches.
