Logo Evaluation



  • I had to gather information on logo design
  • I got to take three logos and annotate them
  • Then I had to draw approximately five thumbnail logo sketches
  • When I was done I had to pick a logo and draw a full scale version
  • I opened up Adobe Illustrator to start making my logo
  • My logo is an inspiration of the cartoon network logo because of its simplicity and I changed it to Alternative cities.
  • The first thing people will see are the initials then the skyline then finally the byline of the logo. 
  • The font I was using was on the logo itself is Eagle bold and the font for the logo byline was a Bold blocky font.
  • The color on the logo is mainly black and white.
  • Since the original Cartoon network logo had negative spacing I used this technique on the white "A" and the white square where the black "C" is.
  • This logo is an inspiration the cartoon network logo so the audience I'm focusing on is around all-ages.
  • I started with making two basic squares next to each other.
  • I image traced the cartoon network logo and took the "C" and "A" in "CARTOON" from the logo
  • I added a silhouette of a city landscape and putted it on top of the logo
  • lastly I typed "ALTERNATIVE CITIES" to the bottom of the logo
  • What went well was that the progression went smoothly with no problems what so ever.
  • The only thing That I could improve on is a better use of the city silhouette on top of the logo.

This graph shows certain age groups and
most people who answered are 10-17 years old
This graph shows gender groups and it has a 50/50 rank.
A bit of Bias on this graph as it shows
all 10 people said yes.
This Graph show different ethnicity more white
people is the majority.
This Graph shows if people have ever played a Role
playing game.
Another graph result where it shows 50/50.



















Overall, I really enjoy making this in SurveyMonkey because it quick, easy and you get instant results. However writing questions down was a bit difficult because at the time I didn't know what to type. What I could improve on is that I should add more questions next time.

Evaluation


Today I used an edit poly on a cube to edit the vertices, edges and polygons.
This allowed me to edit a cube into a chair and table by extruding sub objects

Evaluation


I used the lathe tool to make a line spin around 360 degrees this made a new object.


This method allows you to make Vases, bottle, cups. 

I found this technique fairly easy but it might be confusing at first.
