The best designed logo will be chosen as SWA’s official logos that will be used for the whole year.

Client Interview What kind of logo structure do you want to have? I think I would want a pictorial & combination logo structure. Because the logo itself is also combined with the name of the product. So basically, it will looks good and it does suit the theme for IB Learner & Design Cycle.

What color style do you want it to have? I think, a simple and attractive logo will suit the best. Don’t make it too colorful although it will stand out, it’s not a good idea though. A creative and thoughtful logo will be the best to amaze people.

Do you have your own suggestions or ideas to make the logo better? I would suggest to have a logo with not too much complicated stuffs circling around inside the logo or outside, just make it within the space that you got, a circle or square. Be Creative! Tuesday, November 15, 11


Do you want the logo to be professional or just for fun? why? If you can include both into the logo. It would be fantastic. Make the logo with your creativeness and make it fun but also using the real method of creating a logo to make it professional.

Who is your target audience? The target audience is all the people in SWA. But mostly directed for the Teachers, Students, & PTA. Since it will be a important part of school changes, the design must be both suitable for adults and students.

INTERVIEW SUMMARY From the interview, I can see that the client wants the logo to be fun yet professional so it could fit with the taste of adult and students. The client suggested me to focus on creativity and thinking outside the box instead of making the logo too complicated and colorful. The client also wants a combination and a pictorial because both of them looks good together. Final words: Be Creative

AOI: - Approaches To Learning - Community and Service This project related to 2 AOI’s which is Approaches To Learning & Community and Service because designing a logo requires tools and responsibility of their own learning. I will use applications to create the logo and will follow the design cycle step, which shows my creativity and contribution to the society. Creating the logo also required community awareness to seek knowledge and understanding of my surroundings. My own problem-solving and thinking skills is required in this work in order to create the best logo for the school. So Approaches To Learning & Community and Service is the most suitable 2 out of 5 for this certain unit. Organizational work

Ease of Creation Tuesday, November 15, 11

It’s not that hard, maybe the creator uses It is not easy, and not really hard for photoshop and uses brush to create the making this logo. But it takes time. logo.

This is not easy to make, and needs patience but it is possible to make.


Case Study Summary:

When researching the 2 different logos from the internet, both of them are really great logos because it is very attractive and Case 2’s logo is really creative because the designer combines the idea of piano keys and wine glasses together. Case 1’s logo is attractive with many colors and you can feel warmth inside when you see the logo. Case 3’s way of performing the logo is very creative, because the designer made the logo as ‘BONES’ and so he also made the font to outer skin and bones inside so it looks really good. All of them did a great job. Tuesday, November 15, 11


Materials: Paint Tool SAI is a application for drawing using the bamboo tablet - Wacom. I have tried several times using the tablet and this application and I think it is also possible for designing a logo but with also other applications to combine together. Adobe Photoshop CS5 is a application for photo editing, graphic design, logo design, 3D design, and lots more. It is a good designing application because I used it several times already for designing the Gindo logo, so it is very comfortable and not easy to use, but may able to create a professional looking logo. Adobe Illustrator CS5 is a application also for designing logos and stuffs. Illustrator is different from Photoshop because the functions are different. Illustrator uses a more professional and more detailed features to create logos. So it is also a great choice to use this application for designing a logo. Tuesday, November 15, 11
