INTRODUCTION SWA is looking for a new official logo for their representatives. SWA would be my client. Their old logo is bored and not appealing anymore. SWA hired me in order to make their new official logo. SWA needs lots of logos on a specific area that they would be needed. There are three parts that SWA need me to make, which are Areas of interaction, IB learner profile, and the Design cycle. For the design cycles, it needs 10 logos. For the IB learner profile, it needs 5 logos and 5 logos for the Areas of interaction. At the end, we’ll choose from those three specific area, only ONE that we’ll be SWA official logo for their next whole year.

Throughout this five weeks, I should do more research on more logos to be compared and give me some ideas in order to make the logos. I should have thinking about what kind of softwares that I’m going to use for this project and is the software reliable with the project. I should have also thinking about the factors that would affect my creation process.

AOI (Areas of Interactions) This project of the logo design will be relates, “Approaches to learning” because I’ll be using my organization skills and communication skills. The “Approaches to learning” is about learning how to take care of your own responsibilities using the tools that are enable to work on it. The approaches to learning will be relates to “learning how to learn” and developing in individuals an awareness of how they learn best through processes and learning strategies.

Client Interview 1. Why do you want to change your old logo?

The old logo has been post for several years. The community in there almost get tired and weary seeing the logo, for them is very common to the others. So, I think it need another a new interactive logo and it’s more complex symbol.

2. What do you expect for the new logo?

I expect to have a new logo that is attractive to the community there. I want the logo to be different and unique than the other. It should be easy to remember and iconic.

3. What kind of software do you prefer?

I prefer software that is very common by doing this kind of things. I don’t want using software that is new and unusual. You may use like adobe which is very common to people who make graphic design.

Summary of the Researches Base on my research, I have found lots of things that would might be effective to my creation of the logo. I have research the function of logo to make sure whether it is in the right way. It said the function of the logo is to support/ brand effectively on your company/property, which allows the community to recognize the company easily. It said that the best logo is suppose to be iconic, simple, and easy to remember.

I also dig some more information about the software that I’m going to use in this project. Basically, I have know some of the softwares that is very common to make graphic designs. One of them is Adobe Photoshop. This is one is very common in every use of graphic design. There’s another software that relates to this one, it’s adobe illustrator. But I’m just trying to figure out which one is easy to use, not to be so complicated. What I get is that adobe photoshop is more into editing photo and adobe illustrator is more into making graphic design. What I think, I’ll be using this tips to create my logo and I should find more software that is compatible with this.

Successful Logo

There are varieties of logos in the world but it is put into two categories which successful and not successful. According to people tips, it said the logo should be iconic, easy to remember, simplicity, great font and color, and using high resolution software.

As there are 3 logos above, FedEx has been approval by the community that is a successful logo. FedEx logo has symbol and signs in order to confirm the logo. It also covers by multiple of layers that contribute all of this.

Design Brief For the following 5 weeks, I’ll be helping creating the design for SWA official logo. I should have through all the design cycle parts; investigation, Design, Planning, Create, and Evaluation. I have chosen the software that is going to be used in making this, which is the adobe illustrator. It said that it has been trusted for many people and very common. I should be concern on the design specification, what am I going to be needed. Usually, products that are going to bee sold is slightly different to the product that isn’t going to sold. The design must be concern too.

Either IB Learner profile or AOI For the next following a couple of weeks, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be making the Area of Interaction rather than making the IB learner profile. From what I think is that the IB learner profile can be rooted into the AOI. Some of the IB learner profile such as CARING can be rooted into the Health and Social Education or Human Ingenuity.

According to me that it would be wasting of time by making all the 10 logos, so in order to save time, make the AOI. This is what according to me.

Friday, November 25, 2011

Evaluation against my researches According to me, if we compare my design to the official logos that have already copyright; mostly my design is not as good as the one which is copyright.

One of the best is the caring design that shows almost the same like some of the global partnership development. This is what I think from the overall.

Like FedEx, it’s one of the most successful logo because there is an arrow between the ‘big’ E and x. I could improve it in order to get better.

For the creation stage, I’ll be using ordinary software for this kind of stuff and it’s called adobe photoshop. Actually the best thing is using Adobe illustrator because it’s more to graphic design rather photoshop for editing photo.
