Throughout the class I will do five assignments. I have picked (not in a particular order) to do a redesign of a logo, brochure, flyer, business card, and resume.
For the redesign logo, I am going to do a redesign of the Google logo for Valentine's Day. Good is notorious for changing their logos often. I was thinking of having two hearts for the Os and cupid shooting an arrow through them for the smaller G. Then a long stem rose for the l and keep the G and E regular.
I haven't found a particular brochure just yet. I think I'll go to the sub and pick out a brochure there.
I play lacrosse for Tech and I am going to do a flyer for a home game we're having soon. I'll include the place, time, and advertise some shirts that we are going to sell, too. then, put a big double T in the middle to catch people's attention.
I am going to make a business card for myself that I could hand out to employers. I will probably use that site you were talking about in class, but I forgot what it was called.
The resume I am going to kind of double up for Dr. Barkers class, too. We have to make a resume for our portfolio, so I will perfect all of the information that goes in it, and then jazz it up some. Not too much, like you said, but I think it needs to have something special about it.
Please take a look at other students' blog posts, Sarah. Those who have done this assignment correctly have included graphical representations of 5 artifacts.
ReplyDeleteFor my first assignment, I'm going to do a redesign of a business card for my friend. Her apartment complex just made all of their employees business cards and I find the graphics kind of random. When I get home I can upload a picture of the card.
ReplyDeleteContrast- I will make the name of the apartment complex the biggest font on the card. Then, her name will be the next biggest. Then, the rest of the info. like phone number and email the same size.
Repetition- I will make the name of the complex it's own font and the rest of the info the same font.
Alignment- I was thinking about right aligning all of the text and insert some kind of graphic on the left side.
Proximity- I will chunk all of the contact info together on the right side and have a logo on the left.
