Draft Logo

For this project, I decided to create a personal logo as my brand as a graphic designer. This project idea realtes perfectly to my course topic because my course topic is my journey through my graphic design internship this semester, so i thought it would be a  great idea to make a logo to be able to market myself and my brand. The design processes that inspired me was I wanted something that symbolizes me- which is my name but I also wanted to add a fun graphic twist to it as well, which is why I added the lighting bolt. The research that I did to find my design and ideas were looking on pinterest at a bunch of personal logos and just sketching how they would look with my name, I also looked at different logo websites to draw inspiration from as well. I have two main parts of my logo, one my name and the other the lighting bolt. My name obvisoult represents me and my brand, and the lighting bolt represents boldness and energy which I think are great discriptors that align with me as a person.  My design process was first getting inspiration and sketching with my name in it, then taking different elements from different designs that I really liked then morphed them into one. After sketching and finding a design I actually liked. I used Adobe capture on my phone to upload it onto illustrator. From there, I traced the image with the pen tool and filled it in. I then made minor adjustments to the logo as needed. 

The elements that I gathered from this project was just finding inspiration online and personalizing it to make it my own. I took different parts of multiple logos I liked to create an original one. Some technical challenges I found was using the pen tool- it was pretty tricky to get the hang of at first since I needed it to be precise, but the more i used it the better i got at it. The advice that I have for struggling using the pen tool, is to just take it slow and don’t rush because that is when I found myself messing up!

In this project all materials are my own.
