Logos


I think that the Target is very successful. It clearly depicts the name of the company in the visual, and it also stands out. This simply "target" can be seen and recognized anywhere. Not only does this logo symbolize the name, but the feelings and attitude the store has grown to embody. People of all ages would be able to spot and identify the Target logo.

 The Kodak logo no only resembles a K, but also a flash, especially because of the color. This may also help people recognize that is related to a camera, despite the renown name. Although I am not a fan of yellow and red together, I think that the yellow is important because it looks like a flash from a camera. The red also makes it pop. I think this is a successful logo that is well-known from all age groups.



The FedEx logo is one of my favorites because it has the name of the brand in the logo, but it also includes the hidden arrow between the E and the X to demonstrate something going some where, which works for this shipping company. It also pops because the colors are almost complimentary. It is plain, and simple and gets the idea across.


The Toys R Us logo is obviously geared towards kids, and is definitely successful. Despite the fact that all kids love toy stores, the colorful logo can be spotted from miles away. It is fun and inviting from the font and colors, which also makes it very effective. This logo can be recognized throughout families all across the country, and maybe even the world.

Amazon has become a very popular website, with a very thoughtful and successful logo. It is plain, and simple with a creative hidden meaning. The arrow from the A to the Z shows that this online store has everything from A to Z, which they really do. It is recognizable and known by almost everyone. The simplicity makes it work, considering there is a lot going on within the website.

Ideas

*Decorative Garbage Bags
 People buy nice garbage cans to go with their house, and then put an ugly garbage bag in it to line and protect the can. These garbage bags do the same job, but with style.

*Phone case & Wallet
 This phone case holds credit cards, IDs, and money, along with a phone case that allows you to use your phone without opening the case at all. This saves time, and things from falling out!

*Left Overs
Left over food from the week that goes uneaten, but you don't want to waste it. This website allows you to put in all your left over ingredients, choose a style your craving, and then generates a recipe that includes most if not all of your ingredients.

*Personal Shopper App
Type in all of your favorite brands or websites, and this app will update you on their sales or new items.

*Greenpac
Reusable boxes

Project 1: Octopus






      Coming from the Jersey Shore, I love the beach. I also wanted to practice curves in the HTML format, so I chose to create an octopus because it incorporated both. I started with the head and body, then added the arms. I love how my octopus came out, although it is not exactly the same as my beginning sketches. I was able to overcome my challenges of curves, in addition to expressing my love for the ocean.
