Final Project Proposal

Final Project Proposal

For my final project, I will create a photo collage of images layered to create a profession sports team logo. the logo I have chosen is the Chicago Bulls. I am using pics of current and former players on the team for the main Bull logo. Images related to the city the team represents will be used in the words Chicago Bulls. I will use Photoshop to crop images into the logo. I want to explore and experiment with different elements to create an image that will be a raster graphic in the shape of the original logo.I want a person familiar with basketball to be able to see the logo from far away and instantly recognize it. I believe I can accomplish this with the right combination of images. My collage logo will be the size of a standard sticker.

Final sketches for Memories

Final sketches for the "Memories in the Making" project.

New NFL teams

There has been discussion as of late that the NFL will expand again. They will have 2 new teams one in Los Angeles and another in London. Here is an interesting pic of how the LA stadium will look like.

The design reminds me of a football. I would consider adding a dome. I think it would be a great idea to have a team in LA but I don't agree with having one over seas. 

My "Memories in the Making" Logo

This is the final logo. I stuck with the light bulb as a representation of memory. 

I incorporated my design into there current logo. I wanted the logo to look more corporate and simple as there logo currently is. All colors and font used are in the guidelines. I used the pen tool, shapes, various line weights, and Text path.

 Let's see how it goes in the critique next week!

I tried to incorporated the Alzheimer's Association logo in the middle of the bulb. I made adjustments to the wording and is a lot more readable. I used offset paths for the everything and changed the line style for the large oval. 

I asked a couple other people for their opinions and they didn't think the comic theme would fit for this project. So my dreams were shattered and I decided to leave this idea behind.

After spending time sketching more ideas, I decided I would go the direction of something more basic.

Ok so for the next concept my inspiration was comic books. I was up late one night after watching the Walking Dead and saw an episode of Comic Book Men. Great show for all comic book lovers as myself. I didn't want to sketch this concept so I free handed it.  

I really was drawn to having a light bulb since I think it represents memory. I also wanted to use a thinking type box as used in comics when the illustrator wants you to know what the hero/villain is thinking. I liked the look and worked on it for hours on end. Which led to making final modifications and hopefully the final logo.

Moving on to the next concept, I thought this would be "the one." I wanted to keep the logo basic as after reading the guidelines it seems they wanted something simple. I started to add color and replaced the O with a lightbulb. After many failed attempts of trying to make a letter S with the pen tool I started to hate the direction I was heading to with this concept so decided to erase it from my mind. 

And on to the next..

After the sketches I started using the pen tool in AI and this is what I did...

Yup pretty bad....so one idea was using a cursive type of font with some butterfly wings on the M. I scrapped the idea as I just didn't like the progress
