Good Example (Figure 1) A good example of conceptual design Here is my example of good conceptual design. The bottom of the ‘Q’ looks like a wave, just like the North Carolina Aquarium logo I used as a good example of typography. The word aquarium is bigger than the location as it is the most important part to see, especially when people are walking past. The logo is also simple which makes it easy to understand. The reason this is a great example of conceptual design is because the I in the word aquarium doubles as an eye for the…

Good Example (Figure 1) A good example of composition This is my example of good composition. This is a poster for the Vancouver Aquarium advertising their shark exhibition. This poster is a good example because it’s simple in it’s design but tells the audience everything they need to know. The main focus of this poster is the shark in the middle, I think it’s more effective that there’s only half of the shark on the poster, this is because it looks like it’s swimming past just like you would see in an aquarium. Another great thing about this poster is…

Good Example (Figure 1) First good example of colour (Figure 2) Second good example of colour This is my good example of colour used in advertisements. These are posters to advertise a new exhibit at the New England aquarium. In these posters they use contrasting colours to catch people’s eyes and make them want to visit. The first poster shown uses a pastel blue background which could represent the water in the tanks at the aquarium. Then the sea creature is in a bright pink which contrasts the blue background well. The sea creature being bright pink also draws the…

It was hard to decide on a name for my logo so to help me decide I made a list of different words that could be used in my logo. I then combined some of the words together to try find something I like. The words I chose are associated with the ocean or land marks you would find there. Sketches I made to come up with the name of the logo. My first name for my aquarium was Tropical Wonders. I chose this because with the word tropical I could add more related themes like hibiscus flowers and sea…

For my 4 editorial pages I decided to make a leaflet that advertises my aquarium, Ocean Wonders. This is to inform families about what they can do on their days out and see what is on offer at the aquarium. Sketches Before started working on these leaflet pages in illustrator I did some sketches to help me plan out what I wanted my pages to look like. Sketches I made to plan out my pages. First Page The front cover and first page of my leaflet. This is the first page of my leaflet. The page on the right is…

For my three cover designs I chose to do three posters that advertise the attractions at the aquarium I created for Ocean Wonders. Each poster features a different sea creature in the same style of illustration. All posters look like they belong in a set however do not look the same. First Poster – Shark This is my first poster advertising my aquarium, Ocean Wonders. Thy grey background is not part of the poster, it is just to make the white borders visible. This was the first poster I created. I made the sharks more cartoon like to appeal more…

My Assignment This was the first logo I created. For this logo I used my whole name. I have chosen this font because it represents my personality best, loud and bold. The type is also printed and not cursive, this is because I write the same way as I’ve never been able to write or understand cursive writing very well. My first name is smaller than my last name because I wanted it to fit nicely between the end of the J and the beginning of the I. At the top of the I there is a star, this is…

First Outcome This is the first design I made. For this logo I used the word ‘bubbly’ as I think of myself as a bubbly person. I chose this sans serif font because it is more rounded and lends itself to a more complementary shape to the bubbles so helps them blend in more. I made these bubbles myself by layering different colour circles on top of each other and then added a shine on them by stretching a white circle. Doing this gave the bubbles a 3d shape and by placing the larger ones to the bottom it gives…

First portrait My first portrait, I used a simplistic style and yellow shadows For this first portrait I first started to make it as accurate as possible to the photo of myself. I realized this would not work very well so decided to try a more simplistic style which worked better. For the shadows on my face, I used different shades of yellow. This originally was by accident, but I liked how it looked so I kept it. Most of my features are simple and only shaped by shadows. For this portrait I added in my glasses because I wanted…
