Final Poject

This project is something I have thought of for many ideas, and it was pretty cool to make up a logo and sort of have it come to fruition. I started with the logo as a circle to represent a bag, and I used the green and yellow as fresh bright colors, to add a more positive spin to trash. Through out the brochure, business card and letterhead, I tried to keep the fun, fresh approach when marrying them all together to look professional and unified. In my opinion, I think I did a pretty good job. I kept the same fonts throughout, as well as color, patterns, themes and shapes. After much frustration, hard work and determination, I am very happy with the way my final project turned out. I learned a lot, and will hopefully use it in the future.

Questionnaire

We design and manufacture decorative garbage bags to stylize your garbage cans.

                  No, there is nothing like Styliner garbage bags.

1)   How do you want your image to be seen in two years?

I hope styliner garbage bags are seen as a great alternative to regular garbage bags. With just a bit more in price, there will be an even greater improvement. Styliner garbage bags will be recognized as a successful and supportive garbage bag for all household needs, while also incorporating style and scent.

2)   If your company was an animal, what animal would it be and why?

An elephant, because they have tough skin and durability. They also have texture to their skin, which represents patterns. 

3)   If your company/brand was a person, who would it be and why?

Barbara Barry because being a home decorator, she appreciates the little differences in a room, that can have a strong impact. She has also been though so many battles and has stayed strong, much like how Styliner garbage bags are close to resilient.

4)   If your company/brand was an object, what would it be?

A decorative garbage bag.

5)   If your customer was a cartoon character, who would it be?

Pluto, because he did not have a major role in each show, but his presence made a difference. Pluto is also very dependable, similar to Styliner garbage bags.

Project

FINAL

Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers

"Is the city I live in

The city of Angels"

I chose this song because it has always been one of my favorites. I also chose this specific line because when I was listening to the song, I immediately knew that I wanted to do it for my project, and I imagined how it would look in my head. Although it did not turn out how I originally imagined, I am happy with the way it turned out.

Class Activity

Custom Graphic

It has been raining the past couple of days, so I was inspired by the umbrella. I found the other picture online and wanted to use it with my project. I used the stamp effect while playing around on photoshop in order to create the rain effect on the lense. This project was fun, and helped me learn more about the application.

Paris

I have always wanted to go to Paris, so I chose to place myself in the eiffel tower. Funny enough this picture was taken in the south of France. 

Rihanna

After looking at what students have done previously for this project, I decided to choose Rihanna because I think she is a talented artist, and beautiful. She has many features that I wanted to highlight in my Illustrator project, for example her cheekbones. I am also not good with faces, so I wanted to work on my weaknesses and challenge myself. After many hours and learning new techniques along the way, I think my image turned out pretty well! For my lack of experience, I am thoroughly pleased with the way Rihanna came out. She is obviously not identical to the original photo, but I added my own artistic approach to the image to make it my own.
