Critique - Project 01

Craft Issues:
-make sure there are no air bubbles
-beware of smudges!
-measure board size and paper size
-especially if applying for the B.F.A. program
-center images
-check your colors when printing

Illustrator Issues:
-make anchor points invisible
-zoom in and inspect!
-use guidelines

Good Logos:
-"scale-able"
-both the Initials and the Image are portrayed successfully
-simple, but with character
-pertain to the cause/business/client (professional, child-like, simple, romantic, etc.)
-letters, name, objective, subject should be clearly read and visible
-make your intentions clear


Final images for Project 01:

Illustrative:










Typographical:









***disclaimer: the colors do not show up quite like they printed or as they look in illustrator
 (the pink is a pale salmon-y bubblegum pink and the pale green is more of an olive color)



Comments on my Logos:
Illustrative-
-good color choice
-increase the weight variation in the letters (way thicker)
-possibly hand write name, scan in and add to logo

Typographical-
 -up the stroke on the piercing (does not hold up from afar)
-possibly move name up a tiny bit (closer to logo)

Company Research for Project 02

In our second project, we are basically making an ad campaign using an existing company.
Here are some companies I am thinking about using for Project 02:

Garanimals

Doc Martens

The Sims

Neopets

Google+

And that's what I've come up with so far... I want something fun! I usually like cute/creepy things. But I can't think of any product or company that combines those two. They aren't two adjectives that are typically used together... :/

Project 01 - more sketching and starting on Illustrator

Black and White




Color
 P.S. that bottom n with the negative space industrial is supposed to have the industrial on top. I promise I moved the n to the back and the industrial to the top but illustrator was bein' freaky
