Finding Type!

Here are 6 typefaces I found around me ^^

1. Oldstyle, slab serif, and maybe decorative?

2. This was a poster of this movie I found in the East Broadway train station.

3. I believe this typeface was appropriate for its purpose because I believe this movie is a horror and the text helped the poster create a creepy feel.

1. Modern

2. I found this book in the school's library.

3. Cokie Roberts... I think it's the author's name. I do not think it's a bad typeface to use... but it's a little hard to read at a first glance.

1. Slab Serif

2. I forgot which room it was but I found this student's work on the 11th floor (I think).

3. I believe this font is Times New Roman... So yes? Since this is a school project (a different class other than art, where you usually use Times New Roman), most teachers require this font so this student did an excellent job of following the rules. \(^  ^)/

1. San Serif

2. The sign that labels the train station at Delancey Street Station

3. I do believe this choice of typeface is appropriate because san serif is really easy to read, especially when you look out the train's window as it arrives at the station.

1. Script

2. I found this poster in the GD/ Fishbowl/ 1113 room

3. I do not exactly know what the purpose of this poster is... but it looks very nice and fancy. Maybe it's about people/ reality first before technology.

1. Decorative, script

2. I found this at MHS's 11th floor senior birthday wall/ cabinet thingy... 

3. I think this fun sort of typeface serves its purpose well because birthdays are supposed to be fun!

Environmental Club/ Green Team Q&A (Summary)

Questions:

1. What are 5 words and 5 symbols that represent the club?

2. What is the goal of this club?

3. What colors do you think of when you hear the word "environmental"?

4. What is the origin of your club?

5. Any hardships?

6. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the club?

Answers/ Summary (Interviewed Celine):

The Environmental Club just started as a student-led club in Millennium High School. The goal of the club is to bring awareness of the concept of "Go Green". In other words, the club brings awareness about green living, eco-friendly methods, and environmental issues around the school.

One hardship that the club has faced this year was the temporary closing of the farm space in Battery Park. The farm space at Battery Park was a project produced by this club a few years back. Since the farm is closed for now, the Green Team needs to organize other activities in replacement. Some of which includes bringing awareness about closing the lights of a classroom after the room is done being occupied.

Some weaknesses of this club is that sometimes there are financial issues which restrain the kinds of activities we could do (such as trips or hand-made displays). Also, there is not always enough time to finish projects which leads people to volunteer after school. The strengths include the club's good sense of community and great ideas shared during discussions.

Celine believes:

- 5 words to describe the club are: care, community, earth, learning, and plants

- 5 symbols to describe the club are: plants, gardening tools, earth, leaf, and recycling sign

- Colors: Green, blue, silver, and brown

LOGOS LOGOS LOGOS

Here's a logo I love:

The logo above is well designed because the logo fits well with what the company sells: cute and creative graphic tees (I love cruising their site :3). I feel that the use of a combination mark really helps with the concept of their shirts. I don't really know why there's a turtle, but it's also fun to say teeturtle. The logo isn't on every since shirt, but I believe the word mark, teeturtle, is on the tag on the shirt. There is also one shirt that they have which includes this logo (above), and if I owned that shirt, I would not mine wearing it around at all because the turtle is just so cute :D!

 Here's a I'm unfamiliar with:

This logo is from Lissa S. and I just thought that the logo was very simple but also very creative. The combination mark has a witty pun that just makes you go "aww". The logo also makes you feel warm no matter what weather is outside because of the tight wrap around the cloud and sun. I also like how they do not use many colors because it's easy to the eye. I feel like if there is a lot of   of colors, too much would be going on and there wouldn't be much of a focus. I think it's better for a logo to get right to the point (by sight) because then with just a glance of the logo, you know right away what the logo is. I think that's very important because that spreads the company promotion very quickly. It's good for the business! 

Portrait Transformation Project!

Process

Before :)

After XD

Concept: Transformation

Success? No success? Just different?

I wanted to do a fun space themed type of picture. Something... cute... Honestly, there's not much meaning to the transformation. I just wanted to have a bunch of little aliens, in this case CJ7, everywhere. I guess the transformation was a success but I felt like the picture was too simple... Maybe I should've had other things in the space area or something. Otherwise, my favorite part of this final in the CJ7 in the bottom left corner :).
