Final Evaluation

[laurenahmaub]

I decided to use the polka dots to look like the girl was placing one as the ‘a’. However after seeing it as a mockup, I didn’t like the polka dots and felt they werer a bit young. 

Instead I went for these smooth irregular shapes surrounding the girl to show my creativity and love of colour. The girl represents me putting designs together. I am happy with how the logo turned out and I think it is a nice representation of me.

Developement

I had an idea to use an illustrative style from my fmp and show someone placing a lightbulbn instead of the “a” in my name. I eventually though the light bulb was abit ugly next to my illustration, so it became just a circle outline. 

I want to have the illustration featured on the front and then my actual logo as just the name (last example)

Original Ideas for branding. I found it hard to think about showing something that would sum me up as a designer and a person. I didn’t like any of these first experiments, they didn’t have enough personality in them.
