Last week we were given a homework task, with a brief, to research a logo for a pet grooming/training/teaching service, to design a logo that was suitable for multi-platform, that gave off the right image to fit the brief. In groups of 3 (Dan, Adam & I) we had to design a logo that we thought was a good fit, and bring it to the workshop this week. With this we agreed to do a bit of research each and put it onto a google doc, then design 3 logo’s each to show to each other on Monday and decide on the best one to show to the class. I decided to focus on logo’s that would go well as a small square, but then have text on as well to fit as a banner on a website.

I decided to do two versions of my favourite logo, and changed to design a little by adapting the text as the leash, to show a connection between people and the pets. In the workshop however Dan did a really good circular logo, and he incorporated colour into it too when we created them on illustrator, of a dogs head been stroked by a human hand, within a circle. This was a good choice for our final logo as it didn’t involve text, meaning it would’ve made a good vector graphic, and was only two colours (white and blue) so can be printed or scaled easily.

Today we also had an amazing lecture, we were shown the difference between VFX and SFX, and how much of a film is actually green screened in, and it was great. The Wolf of Wall Street Video was really enlightening and and really set in how much you can control a scene, and how much money it saves. Also did you know Ugly Betty wasn’t actually filmed in New York, it was filmed in LA in studio’s with green screens. That one had me a little disappointed.

Until next week bloggers.
