Self Insertion

I chose to insert myself into a picture on a beach in a tropical place because my favorite place to go is the beach. I used the magnetic lasso tool to crop around my background. I then inserted myself into the picture. I adjusted the colors slightly only on my body to match the background and give it a "cooler" feel since the background consists of blue and green colors.

I found this project to be very difficult and time consuming. Some of the objects were difficult to outline, especially the nose and the hair. The most difficult part for me was creating the shadows and highlights on the face and in her hair. Overall, I think my vector illustration is successful since it is obvious who is in the picture.

Final Logo

 My fictional company is a bakery called Claire's Cookie Jar. This bakery is designed specifically to bake and sell a wide variety of cookies that are popular in many different countries around the world. I chose to create my logo so that the viewer can easily tell what the company is. I created a half-bitten cookie in the shape of a "C", to begin the letters of "Claire's" and "Cookie." I used the colors of a chocolate chip cookie, which I thought most people would be able to recognize. The font that I chose is very playful rather than serious, to let my audience know that my bakery has a friendly environment.

Logo Critique

 

I think that the McDonald's logo is very successful. It uses bright colors such as red and yellow that immediately attracts your eye to it. The "M", which stands for McDonald's, is large making it easy to see from wherever you are and it is very recognizable. I believe that it appeals to mostly young children or teens.

 

 The logo for Apple Inc, or MacIntosh, is also very successful. It is simple and has a slick and unique look to it. I think that the target audience for this logo is young adults and business men or women. This logo is also successful since it appears on every single one of the company's products, making it seen all over the world by it's users.

 

 The target logo is very successful because by looking at the logo, you are able to easily understand what company it is for. Since the logo is a picture of a target and uses the bright color red, it easily attracts your eye. I believe that this logo's target audience is for all ages.

 Domino's Pizza has a very unique logo that stands out from many others. The logo incorporates the dots of actual dominoe's, relating to the company's name. Also, the shape of the logo is a tilted square which is the shape of a pizza box. The bright red, white, and blue attracts your eye. I believe that the target audience for this product is young children and teens. 

 

The MTV logo's is one of my favorites. I love how it is unique from other company's in the way that it's logo is an acronym for the company. I also like how it has a 3-D effect to it which really makes it stand out. I think that the target audience for this logo in teens and young adults because of it's unique and edgy look.
