Yeah so....

Yeah so I wanted to start off by saying that I am extremely behind as far as these blogs are concerned. It's okay. Better late then never. Well I'm going to go by projects in order what I remember. The freshest one that comes to my mind is the logo/trademark remake project. The point of the assignment was to take a well known logo, out of a list given to us, and make our own logo. Also, we had to make two of them. So I decided I was gonna pick two things that would cause me to be creative.

The first logo that caught my eye was trademark for Baylor University. At first look, it looked very bland and boring. So I decided that it could be a bit more eye popping visually. The school's mascot was a bear and the colors were forest green and a gold-ish yellow. The first thing I figured I needed to do was give the logo a more fierce look to it. So I grabbed a bear that more intimating than the previous one. I also grabbed a bear paw print and added some green glow to it. It turned out really good and I truly think that making this one was my favorite out of the two logos.

The second logo I decided to do was Clemson. I'm not really sure why I stuck with the colleges but anyway. I also felt the Clemson trademark was too straight forward. Just the words Clemson and a paw next to it. I'd like to say, "Boring!". At the same time, I knew my changing of the trademark would be somewhat limited. So I decided to get a tiger looking as if it is walking down toward the Clemson words. Also, there are orange and purple paws trailing the way. After throwing some more texture effects in there, it turned out really well. Once again, I liked my Baylor logo more but I can't complain with what I did with this one either. I like them both.

I actually liked this project because it let me be creative which I love doing. I could definitely do some more.
