eMagine

eMagine took place on the fifth of this month.  Being a mandatory event, i decided to go, especially since i was told that i was in the 'top 5'.  Unfortunately,  there was a mix up and i was actually top 6 or 7. Which was kind of upsetting, because for a second i was slightly hopeful.  But i guess its cool since my typography was still shown at eMagine.  It was pretty well put together and kinda enjoyable.
I'm glad that some of my friends had won in some categories.  I think Mallory got 1st place and Erin had got 2nd place.
i didn't like that it was mandatory to dress up.
but the brownies at the end of the event were very delicious.

But the overall idea of emagine is that the very best, brightest and hard-working students get to shine.  If you put the work in, it'll be very much rewarding.  That's a great reason to have an event like that.  It gives students something to focus on and work towards, which is pretty great.


Here's a picture of my friend that won. Im really proud. :')

Google logo

   Google's logo is as recognizable as Nike's swoosh or Disney's castle. It is said that Ruth Kedar, the graphic designer who developed and designed the logo which is instantly recognizable. The logo is incorporated with primary colors and the Catull typeface that define the Google brand. 
   Kedar met Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page through a mutual friend nine years ago at Stanford University, where she was an assistant professor. Because they were having trouble coming up with ideals at first, Page and Brin asked Kedar to come up with some prototypes. 

This is the development of the logo, from beginning to end:

As you can see, Google had wanted primary colors incorporated into the logo from the start.  

Each logo is similar but vary a many aspects.  

        The only main difference from the final to all would be that Google had put a secondary color on the L, showing us that google never plays by the rules.;)

Movie Poster

For this week's project, we decided to focus on designing a movie poster.  The movies that we can pick have to be made before 1970.  I struggled with this at first because it was hard for me to make a movie poster into a contemporary version.  We choose to view Saul Bass's designs of movie posters to base our inspiration. it was difficult to decide what was the most important factors of the movie.  After many failed attempts, i decided that Scarlett and  Rhett has to be the main center pieces of the design.  I put Rhett in all black because he was considered a scary figure to most people and that he's a mystery.  No one really knew a lot about him, just rumors.  As for scarlet, i put her in the green dress that her mami made her at the families lowest point so that they can get money.  it's also considered the turning point of the movie.  The dress is green because Scarlet is a envious person that always pursues money.  The background is red because the setting of the movie is during the Civil War, which is bloody and destroys many people's lives.
