SCCA

Well for this project, I was designing a new logo for the SCCA; better known as the South Carolina Correctional Association. This logo was supposed to give a positive aspect. So that meant putting prison bars in my logo was definitely out of the question. At the same time, I did want to have some kind of enforcement look in my logo. So my initial idea was to make a shield. Almost like ones that people of law enforcement wear but a bit different. At the same time, I also wanted to put something in my logo that linked the logo with the state of South Carolina. So what came to mind was the Palm tree and half moon which you basically on every license in South Carolina. I also wanted to give that bold but without a doubt professional type feel. So with that in mind I decided to use colors like navy blue, silver, black, and white.

*Sparkle Sparkle*

Well I'd like to introduce you guys to Mr. Sparkle. He is a character I came up with and have worked on for a couple weeks for Mr. Sparkles Glass Restoration Company. I wanted to give him more of a friendly feel but at the same time giving that simple and clean feel to it. So to accomplish this I try to give a bit of a mario look but no quite. Now in case many are confused, that is supposed to be a sparkle in his hand. Hard to tell I know. I don't think I was able to spend as much time as I wanted on him because of another project but I still like how he came out.  Which I will explain in my next blog.

Again with the Randomness

Ok so this is one of those weeks where I'm complaining. You see all we've been doing lately are these pointless tutorials. Mainly on excel, word, and powerpoint: programs i feel like I don't need any help with understanding. I learned 1 or 2 new things as far as excel is concerned but as far as word and powerpoint is concerned, I feel like I'm wasting my time. As of today our assignment was to go take a bunch of tests and go through a bunch of "walk-throughs" to learn more about how to work the program. Overall, its good in the long term as far as a refresher but as far as now, I feel like I wanna go back to illustrator again. :)
On a good note, me and bekah are doing well. You hates it when she's arguing with the guys in the class about something and I come in and stick up for them even if I know she's right :D lol
It just never gets old. What she doesn't know is that she is probably gonna get the biggest bear hug of her life in a second... (*evil laugh)
