Creating this logo was fun for me. Although I don't consider myself to be the most artistic person, I feel I was able to effectively represent myself with this logo. The thing that helped me the most was a tip I found in the D.I.Y. Lupton document. It said, "The first ideas that come into your head are generally ideas you have experienced before." I found that to be very true. So, I sat and thought about it and the idea just popped up in my mind. I know that I love learning and that without my education i wouldn't be able to earn the things I want in life. This is the idea that I always try to present to my second graders when they don't feel like trying or caring about their education. So that is where the sketches I began to draw in the second image at the bottom of this blog came from.
As my creative thinking techniques I used mind mapping, brainstorming and the buzz word technique. The words I thought of were "learning", "love" and "earning". Then another suggestion form the same document came to my mind again. It said to "combine letter forms with graphic elements." So then I tried to think of how I could somehow put the three together to create a single image.
The most important discovery I made in the creation of my logo was how much easier it became for me once I started to think less and just draw more. I just let whatever came to mind flow out on my paper. As far as what I found to be interesting or important from the videos, i would say it was just how much goes into producing these logos and brands. They were so detailed in their methods and you could see just how much really goes into the whole process.
