for our Cyberarts class we were tasked to ceate a logo for an imaginary company. We were supposed to create a logo, and a typeface that represented our company. The company I chose was “Razorz Edge Comicz”. Razorz Edge is a very brash, sleek and a bit dangerous. I chose the colours in my typographic logo to be red and black because to me, red emits a tense, raging feeling, and black emits a sleek, cool feeling.

I chose the font “DREAD” because “R.E.C ltd” specializes in dark, gothic comics and artwork. The logo I made incorporates every principal of design except for value, but because it’s supposed to be a 2D logo I think it doesn’t have much relevance. I changed the letters in the logo to incorporate the sharp, “razor” feel to the words. The logo seems to me that it emits a tense, piercing feeling.

I believe my logo is a good one, the type is legible, the actual look of the logo is very distinct, the logo does differentiate my comics from other industries, it’s appropriate for a comic company, it describes the company’s personality, it has a graphic impact, it has balance and unity, it has a good positive and negative relationship, it is a memorable logo, it works well in black and white, and it works well when enlarged and reduced. I really believe that my typographic solution is the best out of the other two. I hope you like my logo.

GIRL PROJECT

Recently, a NY photographer decided to start a project. The project entailed giving any girl within the age of 13 to 17, a disposable camera and a chance to tell everyone what they see the world as.

Any girl in America who wanted to participate could. The program asked them to take photographs of objects, people, or anything that is important to them, and then send the cameras back to her. Her goal was to get around 5000 photos and turn them into a traveling exhibition.

I think it is a fantastic idea, and you would be able to find how other people see life. The only reason why I do not like it is because she did not include boys into the demographic, but over-all I think it is a great idea.
