Logo Pres Reflection

Questions:
1. What was the most challenging aspect of creating your Logo design?
2. How did you overcome the challenge?
3. What was the most successful aspect of your Logo design?

Answers:
1. The most challenging aspect of creating my Logo design is confirming my ideas. Even though we started out with many sketches, I still had a lot of effects and colors to choose from. Also, the type of texts and font styles were hard to choose. I needed to make sure that every decision had a meaning to it. The decisions I made also had to relate to the club itself.

2. To overcome this challenge, I thought about the club once again. I choose Earth's colors, blue and green, for an earthy look. The reason why I added a sprout was because the club does a lot of planting activities. I also softened the world and the sprout to create a calming feel. Lastly, I wanted the text to be fun, but also clear to read.

3. I think the most successful aspect of my Logo design is it's simplicity. I think even from afar, the world symbol is clearly recognized. Also, the text evenly surrounds the world (sort of like a hug). I'm happy with my final logo design :).

Whatcha do? - MidWinter Break

Uh... I didn't do anything. On the second day of break, I got sick... So as you could probably guess, I was in bed all day for the entire week. I had a fever which lasted about three days (WHY? TT^TT). As of today, I am still sick. Why do we have school...?  In the middle of the week though, I was dragged out to my grandparents' place for Chinese New Year. Happy Ram Year everyone! So much hong bao (red envelopes)! The last day of break was pretty much hell. Since I was sick, I really did not have the motivation to do work. So on the last day, I decided to do all my homework (of course that was not the smartest thing to do). The exhibition outline was overkill. I spent about 7 hours with research and brainstorming my topic... Life is wasted TT^TT. Needless to say, break was way too short and the next one isn't until April... Curse you March.
