Organic foods have gained such popularity that it truly was only a matter of time before organic alcoholic products hit the market. This vodka is likely the first of many, but its logo eschews many symbols common to the organic movement and instead portrays the company name in a graphic manner with a square enclosing a number one. The words of the name are wrapped around this square to form another square, tying in to this honest, straightforward shape once again. This artisan product has a professional logo that likely will take it far with vodka drinkers looking for a less conventional choice.
Limited Too Tween Clothing Logo Design
This is perhaps one of the top stores for tween girls, with a logo that is recognized in elementary and middle schools all over the United States. The blue of the logo is calming, while the yellow grabs attention. The writing is asymmetrical to appear more fun, while the logo that makes up the central image is perfect for a store marketing itself to girls of any age. In all, this logo is appropriate for the tweens cruising the mall as well as the parents who have to pull out the credit card.
Awesome Work
This was a tutorial that Dylan had presented to our Graphic's 2 class. He showed us how to create this from scratch and then insert the car picture. Pretty neat. You see the sunburt graphic element in a lot of advertising lately. If you look close, you can find a few pages in the 2008 yearbook with this element in there!
Feature Artist - Angel
I thought it would be fun to feature each student's work that they have done this year over the next few weeks. Here is a sampling of Angel's work in Graphics I class.
Abstract Paintings
Libby taught the Graphics 2 class a tutorial she learned about creating an abstract light piece in Photoshop. Here are a few of the samples others created.
Student's Teaching
Each student in class is required to find a neat tutorial online and then work through it and teach it to the rest of the class. Here is one that Audrey did for a 3-d effect. Anyone have 3-d glasses to test this out?
Learning from Online Tutorials
Audrey led us through creating a killer looking clown. Pretty isn't he?
And Matt spent 3 hours doing this image from a tutorial he found. I hope we can do this in class! It turned out pretty awesome. Fire and smoke are some of the toughest things to create and to make look realistic.
Audrey spent some of her free time creating some art and I wanted to share this with everyone as well.
One of the best ways to keep up with what you can do with Photoshop is to look for some tutorials online and in the Photoshop magazines that we subscribe to at the school. The students in Graphic Arts are required to find tutorials they want to learn, go through them and then teach them to the class.
Students in Graphics 2 were asked to walk through creating realistic ice looking fonts.
Graphics Tablet Drawings
These drawings were created using Photoshop and the new VisTablets we have this year. They are pen sensitive drawing pads that make drawing, editing and painting on a computer much easier than using a mouse. (Graphics Arts 2 Class)
Line Drawings with Graphics Tablets
Graphics Arts 1 has also been playing with the graphic tablets and samples of their work will be showcased here.
Face Drawings
Everyone was required to do a line drawing of their face. These were created digitally using a
trace feature kind of like using tracing paper only it is easier to fix mistakes. Once they had their
original face drawn, they had to make 3-5 different faces from that one. Here is a sampling of
some of the creative chagnes they came up with. Can you guess who they are?
Halftone and Painting with Words
Every now and then I find tutorials from http://www.photoshopuser.com/ that have really neat things in them. 2 of the tutorials that we did in class were Painting with Words and Halftone Designs. The Painting with Words tutorial shows how to take a word, create a brush from it and then using that you can mask out parts of a picture.
The Halftone Design is what you see sometimes that looks like newspaper print surrounding a picture. The image you want surrounded by it is masked out from the background and then the halftone 'dots' are applied in patterns around it through a simple filter in Photoshop.
Blind Contour Drawings
Today we did an exercise in trust, confidence and faith in yourself. The Graphics Arts 2 class was joined by 2 other students in online independent classes and they did some Blind Contour drawings. We took a detour from the technology world and into the art world and worked with sharpie markers and large newsprint paper.
The aim of this is to develop hand-eye coordination and observational skills. They were asked to study a chair that we had set up on a table. Once they had memorized the angles, lines, contours and details they closed their eyes and put their sharpie markers to paper and drew what they saw in their mind. The results are always surprising and fun to see. It takes a leap of faith to draw something blind and have confidence in your results. Thanks to those students for sharing their work here.
