Custom Font (name) and Qualities


This is the webbing for my font. I decided to web out certain qualities that define me.




Here we have both pages of my thumbnails. I toyed with the idea of writing my name in Japanese for the permanent font, but then decided on regular printing because I highly doubt that anyone here can read Japanese.




And here we have the rough copy. Since I'm an avid reader, I decided to make my name quite intellectual.



And the finished project of my name. Tada! I once again used Adobe Illustrator. I prefer it for freehand computer art to that of Photoshop

And here is some qualities of me. For shy, I used a computer resembling pixelated font, since pixels are usually hard to interpret. Clever was written in cursive, and intellectual was written in a better pixelated font.

This assignment challenged my creative senses. I had to dig deeper into myself to discover a suitable font. I liked all the ideas I came up with. I wasn't too fond of having to choose just one. If I do this again, I would make the font probably with 3D animation. I think that would look much more sharp.

Logo Design (and process)


This here is the webbing for my logo. I was debating between a website promoting moustaches and a skateboard company. Guess which one I went with?



This is the first page of my thumbnails. Playing around with various scenarios, etc.



This is the second page of the thumbnails. Unfortunately, I was unable to rotate them. Hence the awkward sideways uploads.




And this is the rough draft. Remember, there was the unfortunate situation of not being able to rotate the picture.



And here's the final copy! I stumbled upon Adobe Illustrator, and this hopefully turned out alright.


I liked choosing a company. Since I did a skateboard one, I thought it should be one with the slogan of immortality, since it takes a lot of perserverance to stick with it. The logo blends unlucky with lucky.
I wasn't too fond of the processing, since usually I only have one idea that I like to build off of. But hopefully this broadened my horizons on the whole set-up.

Perspective Line Drawing




Roger Waters is here. In the flesh. But sadly, not up against the wall.
What I liked about this project? I liked that I could choose an actual person, rather than a shape. I didn't like the amount of patience it required. For next time, if anything, I would choose to shade a bit differently.

Media ID Card



My fantastic ID card for this class. This is probably as Asian as I'll ever look.
