Cuteness

Illustrator was something I have never worked with before, so it was quite challenging. The pen tool was hard to understand how to use in the beginning, but once I continued to do it, it became easier. I can not say I particularly enjoyed doing this, but it was interesting to learn how to use. I chose this image because I thought the detail was appropriate for this type of project. I then realized the fur on the kitten was not easy to trace so I made my own. My favorite part of this project was seeing the overall outcome.

"Wrinkle Be Gone"


I chose this specific design because I wanted to illustrate to the buyer that the product is a spray that will get rid of wrinkles without using an iron. Therefore, I titled the product “Wrinkle Be Gone” and put an iron with the red “no symbol” over it. The “W” in the title has swirls in it to represent wrinkles and the rest of the font is bold and striking. I used black and red for the colors of my design because I thought it was appropriate for all genders. The simple, yet attention-grabbing label will be placed on a spray bottle. It is very self-explanatory and should be easy to understand without having to read the directions.

Assignment 2: Logo Critiques


This specific logo makes one feel like they'll be eating the coldest, creamiest ice cream because of the words chosen to represent this ice cream parlor. The font is very bubbly and eye catching because of the bold red color. Even the symbol of the ice cream cone seems delicious. It seems like all people would like to eat there because who doesn't love ice cream.

This logo appears like it would pertain to all ages and genders, but more of an older crowd because children normally don't like coffee. The word "Starbucks" makes it seem like its the best coffee and is affordable. The colors fit perfectly with the logo because green makes me think of money, which goes back to the coffee being affordable. It is also a neutral color.


This logo seems like it would refer to something with toy race cars because of its title. I would instantly assume that it pertained to young boys due to the font and flames of the design. The colors on the design are also very captivating making it seem like the toy would be fast and fun to play with.  




This logo appears like it is for teenagers who like to watch music videos. I would instantly think that it would be entertaining and fun to watch. The colors used on this logo seem bland compared to the message it is trying to portray. I would have expected vibrant colors to represent music.


This specific logo seems like it would be for young children because of the font choice and outline of the disney character, Mickey Mouse. I would expect it to be air PG rated shows that were simple to understand and enjoy. I like the light blue color chosen to represent this logo with it is neutral and applies to all ages and genders.
