Sorry that I'm out today....

The Evolution Of Logos

Here are some interesting examples of how Logos change as their companies change..... Notice how they manipulate the elements of: SHAPE, VALUE, COLOR and LINE.

Do you also see how they use a BORDER or not?

Here is a wonderful site @ http://www.instantshift.com/2009/01/29/20-corporate-brand-logo-evolution/

And more great ideas from CREATIVE BLOQ here @ http://www.creativebloq.com/graphic-design/pro-guide-logo-design-21221

ROTATE TOOL!

Another handy tool to use in recreating the Logos..... and for lots more things!

Here's the tool....

Remember that you can move the rotate axis point by dragging it, or by double-clicking where you want it to be..... then just drag your shape to rotate!!!


Here's a great link to more info and a demo.... @http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-tips/quick-tip-using-the-rotate-tool/

I'm Out Friday

Happy Friday to you!

Thanks for working so hard today....

Thinking of letters and designing with type, Check out this fun site @http://www.bemboszoo.com/

Lots of fun there.......

Good luck building the posters, please post a jpeg of your poster in progress before you leave, and answer these questions about the work:

1. What is the "mood" of your poster going to be?

2. What color scheme are you thinking of using?

REASONS FOR THE TYPE EXPERIMENTS

Consider using these reasons: 

Your designs should use:

font size, value (contrast), color reactions, location of text on the page, orientation (diagonal, horizontal), effects, distortion, etc.....

List at least THREE of these reasons why your design looks like what it means when you post your work to the blog...

3D Effect!

Here is the command

 

And the control panel for it...

and the "appearance" controls to go back and change the effect.... see the blue link for the 3D extrude & bevel?

HIstory and Anatomy of TYpe

Here's the link.....

it's an amazing history, makes you think..

Starting with typography

Questions for the Blog....

After posting each of the pages in the Design Book, describe what the THEME for the whole book was.... and describe how each page relates to the theme....

Is it from your use of the ELEMENTS of ART? line, color, value, shapes, visual texture.... or from your use of images or even symbols?

REPETITION and VARIATION in Design

PRINTING

Here is a screen shot of the printer control pannel..

Notice the paper size (letter), and "scale to fit" is turned off....

Some good examples for the book

Here are some student designs to give you some ideas...

Here is a design made with patterns applied to everything

A Design made with letters only

 Here is a design made of lines....

 And a design using gradients, and fills only... no outlines.

PATTERNS

Here's info on how to make your own patterns...

GOOD DESIGN CHECKLIST

Use this when building your four designs book....

Brainstorming your THEME

We need an overall "big idea" for our book of designs..... something to link the images together....

First

A THEME is something untouchable.... a "big idea". Because it is abstract, you can create many images that connect back to it....

BRAINSTORMING is a way to gather ideas about a theme as quickly as they pop into your imagination.... one idea creates another.... by writing them down, you gather ingredients to use in creating your images.

Here are some examples of THEMES
 (These images are from this wonderful teacher's site @http://teachingasart.blogspot.com/search/label/brainstorming )

FINAL PROJECT!!!

Here are some links for ideas for the Design 1 final project....

And some other ideas:

pop up cards are cool....

work the shape of the object too...

make it a game...

This is creative and unique...

Work off some existing object....

nice element of surprise....

simple but great bold use of VALUES...

Frankenstein Sample

Here are some new tools to use in your "Creature" project...

Making Masks

You can make a mask from any active selection....

Here's the original image...
Let's take out the background...

THis is a good job for the "Quick select tool".... it picks up on the CONTRAST between background and the smoke...

Make a selection by click and drag over the smoke....
THink of PUSHING the selection into place with the tool..

Use the REFINE EDGE to improve the selection....

This is better...notice the slider for CONTRAST is moved...

Now I can convert the selection to a LAYER MASK...

The Mask hides the pixels, then I can paint on the mask to fine tune it if needed...

Choose the brush tool here...

Choose the size and blur of the brush with the control pannel..... or right click for it too!

Choose black or white to paint... Black HIDES and white REVEALS the pixels..

 Be sure to have the mask selected- see the FRAME?
