Skills Challenge Logo

I created three possible designs that i like;
The first one, LCI TECH SKILLS CHALLENGE with an paper airplane;

I like this logo because it very plain, as well as my other ones. I think that the airplane shows simplicity of abstract idea that involve a paper airplane. Creativity to make one, all the math and physics that lie behind it, etc.

Another design is, LCI TECH SKILLS CHALLENGE with a lightbulb;

I like this one due to the text and image placement. The light bulb represents technology by creative ideas, its need everywhere, the technology that was put into making it.

Lastly my last design was, LCI TECH SKILLS CHALLENGE with puzzle pieces;

This one is my least favourite, but i still believe it is a good logo. Placing of text is hard to place for it to have good unity and be visually pleasing.

Album Cover Assignment


From A Random Wikipedia name, random quote and Random image, This is what i came up with. Gropu River, is the name of the band. To me, it sounded like a two people group, one that sings and one that plays an acoustic guitar. Then i clicked the link to a random flickr image, and that one (referring to the Cover background) and thought it was perfect for it. Showing the feel of a simple city/urban life of musicians telling there story of a rough life. With the rough background and the accordian player in the centre. The Quote seemed to have ironicaly fitted as well "thread which is not there" interupting its meaning as something simple, but yet does a whole lot is missing ( thought apon a thread in a shirt; simple, but holds it all together) so the album would be about some struggles the artists are going through. The layout was simply chose but where the wording would fit the best, staying simple, but noticable. The font was choosen beacuse i thought that these fonts are complementary to the image. It is simple, but also so heart-felt meaning within it.

This is my second album cover. Once again i thought that everything that i was given sutied each other. The Name of the band, Dasyurmorphia, actuall meaning is a carnivorous animals, like the Tasmanian Devil. From this i thought of a band that plays Punkrock with a gothic feel to it. The colours i chose where to match the background image, since it was with a light blue tint, i choose a dark blue for font. The Placing of the font was to fit with the images focal point (the body on the floor). The font choice seemed to fit with the 'stlye' of the band, Bold and Sharp edges.

Elments & Principles of Design


This is my vector Element & Design Poster. I decided to Use this layout and these colours because i thought it would stand out, and draw eyes attention to it. I used a layout of placing all Elements on one side and Principles on one side, making it look balanced. I choose a colour i like, then using other colours that look visual appealing along wiht the background. Done with Adobe Illustrator, using some of the many tools, Pen, Shape, Text, etc. The Information was found through many sources over the internet, by using google. I am overall happy with the poster, except to me it feels too busy, and the titles do not stand out as much as it could.
