Logo

The task of this assignment was to create our own logo, that reflects who we are and what we do in an appealing matter. The easiest way to start was to brainstorm ideas of jot down words that mean something to me or design. My brainstorming incuded mostly words around, Bainbridge island or seattle which included the space needle, rain, "the rock," as well as design aspects, like contrast in color, residential design, "Paige Design," Island design, ect. Next, we sketched ideas of different logo's using these ideas we had just created. I did incorperate, lots of these words into other logo ideas, however, it was this logo that really stood out to me the most. With this assignment I realized how effective simplicity can be. contrasting colors with a simple layout can get a point across just as easily as if you were to throw a bunch of words out to try and say something. I also was able to use a new program, Adobe Illustrator. I was able to learn a whole new variety of possiblitys within layout desing through this program like clipping, selecting, and vector images. I do like my finished logo, however, if i were to do another logo I would probably change the name of the logo because "paige design" sounds like webpage deisgn instead of residential design. The house was supposed to get that idea of residentail across.
