Logo Sketching and illustrator blog post

I had more than 3 ideas to choose from for my logo which I think was the hardest part, deciding what logo to create own Illustrator. My sketch Looked very similar to my final project only that i made more adjustments to the flower and my typography. In my sketch it wasn't as clean as my final project. I thought coming up with ideas was the hardest part of creating and sketching my logo.Once I had ideas everything seemed to flow from there. 

After creating a sketch and finalizing my decisions on what logo I was going to do, I went on illustrator to make my logo. I think the hardest part about recreating the logo from a sketch to an actual image was the typography of my name. Creating the leaf and the flower was probably the easiest. The flower looked more clean and put together on illustrator than on my sketch. 

My project was to show that I like nature and the outdoorsy incorporating a flower and a stem leaf into my name. I used a grey background to balance everything out in my name and make it look more clean. I also used the typography I did because it looks really formal and nice. I chose the color blue for my flower because it plays in and looks good with the background. 

In my opinion I think my logo came out the way I imagined it to be. My sketch was really simple.But my logo portrayed more and had more color and meaning which made it more amusing.

A Bird Blog

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?



To sketch all my 20 birds was pretty hard. Not to necessarily draw them but actually thinking of birds wether they were real life birds or cartoon characters. I made each different and unique by making sure they all each had their own separate individual differences, for example shape and size of the birds. Towards the end it started to get harder find different birds to draw so I had to cope with some challenging birds to draw with. I feel like I could've done more real bird drawings because looking back at it I mostly have cartoon and fiction characters. 

I chose to re-create the tootsie bird owl in illustrator. recreating this bird was honestly not that challenging. I think the most challenging part was getting his body shape and feathers right. I tried using the same colors as the one from the original bird., which I think worked out perfectly.The most easiest part about recreating this bird is he doesn't really have any texture in his body other than the fetches sticking out of his sides. So I didn't mess with texture too much. I do think I could've done better with his hat because there was a glitch on the side tip of his hat. Otherwise, I like how everything came out. 

The opinion on my work is that I clove made some of his more detailed parts more detailed. I really like how the glasses, beak and lollipop came out. The hat could use a little fixing. Same with the feet and outer part of the body. I think maybe if I had even out some of the owl it would look better and cleaner.

Meyer Briggs

Meyer Briggs Personality Type

My Meyer Briggs personality type was ENFJ. E for extrovert, N for intuitive, F for feeling, and J for judging. I think the main things that so far I think are accurate or being an extrovert and intuitive. Some celebrities I share my personality with are Johnny Depp, Joe Biden, Martin Luther King and more. People with this personality could be described as caring, driven and energetic. They also like see potential in everyone and try to make the world a better place.

I think my type description fits me pretty well. Something I think is right on is the extrovert part. I do feel better when I a around people and talking. Also I do want to try to make the world a better place. Something that I'm not sure really fits me is the intuitive part, I am not exactly sure if that fits me. My personality type does help me better understand the way I am. Like why I enjoy being around people and why I like the activities I do, why I am the way I am.

My role clarifies that I am a "natural born leader" which I can se why because my mom is always mentioning that my younger cousins look up to me because of how much of a leader I am. In a group sometimes I will be a leader not all the time, it really depends on the situation. I am not sure how people have understood me because of my personality type because I never and still don't really know about my own personality as much. But after this test I do. Some people may have issues with my personality.

By doing this assignment I have learned more about my self and my personality. I think its really interesting how some of these types are really accurate and relate to me. It really makes me want to learn more about myself and my personality like what else connect with my personality. Other personalities that I thought were accurate was feeling over thinking which is actually really accurate. It makes me wonder what questions and answers ended up tying in with my personality traits. 

I'm an otter ?!??! Who knew!

Wow this is crazy. In my e-Comm class we took a quiz on what animal we are. I got an otter. Which means I am really social, love people, and I enjoy influencing and motivating others. It describes this personality as "Tigger from Winnie the Pooh". I think most of the explanation of this personality is really accurate. I thought this quiz was very cool and fun. Reading the other descriptions of personalities I think the  otter relates to me more.

That's what's up

THE COLOR WHEEL
My favorite color is blue. I don't mind what color blue the color just really appeals to me. I like this color because it makes me feel really peaceful and calm. Unlike for example red which makes me feel weird, same with the color yellow. This color has always been my favorite color for as long as I remember. I don't ever remember liking any other color as a kid. Same as when I was younger I didn't mind what shade of blue it was. For some reason blue just was my favorite color and still is.

My least favorite color is pink and yellow. I don't like these colors because more specifically to yellow it is too bright and catches me off guard. I don't like pink it's not really my color. Pink just seems to outgoing for me, and same as yellow it catches me off guard. I also can't really see pink on any branding products. If i did see pink on products I would most likely not et the product. But then again that is just me. Who knows maybe I would depending on the product.

I think the color theory is really interesting. Because it is true that all colors make different people feel different kind of ways towards color. Whenever you look at a color you get an automatic thought of your feelings towards that color. Colors can make you feel happy, sad, angry, depressed etc. You also get reactions from colors, they can make you recognizes a message from the color which then trigger a reaction. Which can explain why people like the colors they do and dislike the colors they do. Overall there is a lot of phycology that goes with the color theory.
