We were assigned to make logos for our blogs. My blog has a pretty open theme, so I think I was able to be more open with my logo. We watched a PBS video on logos and I really enjoyed the simple logos. The super simple logos. I wasn't really a fan of the logos that were heavily detailed, or that had text in them. I made a logo with my blog title incorporated in it but it it my least favorite. I wanted to use minimal colors just for the fact of simplicity. I also wanted to use my cat because she has been involved within the blog a few times now, so I think she really fit. There was a symbol of a lightbulb available and I thought that worked best for learning things. The first attempt is definitely my favorite. The circle around the outside of the cat figure gives the whole image the look of a cats eye. The second image I am not really a fan of. I just don't like the text on the inside. But I felt like I needed to create a logo that had some type of text. I used Method Draw to make my logo, and it took my quite some time to figure out how to use the application. I honestly felt like I was using Microsoft Paint when I was using this. Maybe that means I was using it wrong... I don't know.
