CATE Logo

Here are four different CATE logos that i made. I didn't really know which one to post because I don't really like them very much. So i posted them all and I was wondering if you could comment and tell me which one you like best, i already have my favorites but i want to see what y'all think :) So i stuck with black and white and added maroon to some of them and i chose these colors because they are the districts colors. Um i tried to keep them somewhat simple but i'm not very good at this...so yeah just tell me what you think :)

Logo Design

Here is my logo design for my company which is called S'il Vous Plais which is french for "please", "to Please" or "Pleasing". I chose this name for my graphic design company because first of all i really like french. I wish I could speak french because i think its one of the prettiest sounding languages ever. :) so yeah and i also picked this name because i feel like one of the main strengths of my company would be pleasing the customer and making sure they are always happy. I chose to keep my logo simple and all black which makes it easier to print or embroider or put on different items. The font i chose for my letter  "SVP" was called Bickham Script Pro-Regular, and i chose this font because it is a very pretty, clean and classic looking font which was the feel i wanted my business to have overall. I placed a Classic french Fleur De Lis beside the initials for my company just to add a little something to the logo and to help contribute to creating the mood and the feeling i wanted my business to have. Overall i had a really hard time creating this logo. i wish i could have created something a little bit better but with the amount of time i had this was one of the logos i created that i liked best. I thought this was going to be a lot easier than it was. I now appreciate graphic designers a whole lot more than before. they have a hard job. It could have turned out better in my opinion but on the other hand it could have turned out a lot worse too.

Personal Expression :)

This is my personal expressions project :) I chose pink because pink is my favorite color and it gives off a feeling of playfulness and girlyness. I put some dots in the background and made them very light so they do not draw attention away from the text and picture. My picture gave me a couple of problems but i got it done and I think it turned out okay. Pink and Brown is my favorite color combination and that is one of the reasons why I chose for my text to be brown. Another reason i chose brown for the text is because most of the shades and tints in the picture of me are different tones of brown so i wanted the text to tie into the picture. I put the word "skater" in a box because figure skating is a big part of my life and i love it :) The five texts i chose were Trajan Pro, Myriad Pro, Giddyup Std, Mesquite Std Medium, and Rosewood Std. I chose these fonts because they express my personality and are not your average boring texts.

Flower Pot

 

Above is the Flower pot and flower that I made using the tutorial of my choice. i found this tutorial to be very quick and easy. It did not have very many steps and each of the few steps were quite easy and manageable. Overall I feel that it turned out quite well :) 

Snowboarder

This is my snowboarder. This tutorial was not the easiest one for me. It took a lot of resizing and changing and a whole lot of time. I had some problems with the pen tool but overall I think it turned out decent in the end. :)

Vase with flower :)

 

Here is my vase with the flower i made on it :) everything went well except i had a couple problems with the gradient tool and getting the flower on the vase in the right spot. after a little while i finally got it on there :)

Sign/Logo Replica

The Picture on top is the original sign that i was going to re-create. I didn't know what logo or sign to pick and I didn't want to pick something that was common or more likely for other people to pick, and when i found this I liked it because of the colors and feel overall. :)The one on bottom is my replica of this diner sign. I didn't really have any problems re-creating it, the only thing that was kinda hard was finding fonts to match the original ones. If there is anything I could have or should have done differently please comment! :)
