LOGO!

Making a logo was way harder than i thought it was going to be, because i really wanted to make something i could be proud to brand myself under. I initially thought a brain in a jar would work with my initials forming the brain, but the colours i chose were quite gross but i didn't think trying other colours would be worth the effort as i through the shape looked too dumb, so i had to move on. I tried a few other designs as well but none of them really stuck with me. I decided to go simple, all i made this year has been somewhat related to robots or fish, so why not combine the two and make a robot fish. As i was doodling different styles of fish i drew one with a straight spine and an O for a head, when Matt came over after seeing my struggle, wrote my name out, then drew a line through it and made it look exactly like a fish. Matt had saved me. There was still the matter of the way i would present said logo, i tried a few shapes first and decided a slight curve worked well, but i didn't like the digital scribbly texture, so i drew it out again using a few different paints, chalks, pens and pencils and eventually decided on a final texture. I particularly liked logo 7 as it was quite clean with a little bit of texture, but it ended up looking a bit rough rather than textured when shrunk down.

I then designed my final card (after changing all of my social network profile pictures to my new logo) I kept it simple, i didn't use full black as i would print it on black paper, and would most likely look slightly greyer than pitch black.I also used the font Quicksand, which i am a fan of and want to use consistently through my the stuff i produce when social networking. I also kept it to my tumblr blog, and my email to keep it simple and minimalist and straight to the point.
