CLIENT INTERVIEW 1. WHAT KIND/TYPE OF LOGO STYLE WOULD YOU LIKE IT TO BE? THE TYPE OF LOGO SHOULD BE MODERN, IT WILL SYMBOLIZE THE ADVANCE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS USED IN THE SCHOOL.
2. DO YOU HAVE ANY EXAMPLES OF GOOD LOGOS THAT I CAN RELATE TO? LOGOS THAT YOU CAN RELATE IS THE STARBUCKS LOGO
3. WOULD YOU LIKE LETTERS WRITTEN ON THE LOGO? YES, PROBABLY SOME OF THE LETTERS NOT ALL JUST TO KEEP IT SIMPLE
4. WHAT COLORS DO YOU WANT THE LOGO TO HAVE? IT SHOULD USE THE COLORS FROM THE PREVIOUS LOGO LIKE RED AND YELLOW BECAUSE SINARMAS IS A CHINESE COMPANY. RED AND YELLOW MEANS WEALTH AND GOOD LUCK IN CHINESE.
5. WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU WANT TO SEND TO THE PEOPLE THAT LOOKED AT THE LOGO? THE MESSAGE THAT IS INCLUDED ON THE LOGO SHOULD SHOW THE SOPHISTICATED BUILDING STRUCTURE AND ALSO SOME GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP
6. DO YOU WANT THE LOGO TO BE SIMILAR WITH THE SINARMAS LOGO? YES IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE MOST OF THE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS LIKE COLORS AND SHAPE THAT REPRESENTS THE SCHOOL IS IN THE PREVIOUS LOGO

CLIENT INTERVIEW SUMMARY FOR THE CLIENT INTERVIEW, I INTERVIEWED JUDY HUNTER. SHE SUGGESTED TO USE COLORS LIKE RED AND YELLOW, IT REPRESENTS GOOD LUCK AND WEALTH IN CHINESE, SINCE SINARMAS IS A CHINESE COMPANY. SHE SAID THAT IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO ADD COLORS LIKE GREEN, THAT COULD REPRESENT SUSTAINABILITY AND GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP. THE TYPE OF LOGO THAT SHE SUGGESTED IS WHERE THERE IS BOTH LOGO AND SOME WORDS JUST TO LET THE STUDENTS KNOW WHAT IT IS. SHE SAID THAT THE STARBUCKS LOGO IS A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE LOGO BECAUSE OF HOW THEY PUT THE WORDS AND THE LOGO.

CASE STUDY SUMMARY
WHEN I RESEARCHED ON 3 DIFFERENT TYPE OF LOGOS, I WILL FOCUS ON A LOGO WHICH WILL HAVE BOTH WORDS AND LOGO. SINCE I HAVE ALL THE APPLICATION AND FONTS I NEEDED, I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THE COST. ALTHOUGH I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT ONE, THERE ARE PROS AND CONS TO CONSIDER.

SOFTWARE
Pixelmator almost have all the features from Photoshop only more simpler to use.
Pages is a multi purpose application that helps people to make word documents. This application can help to make a logo, minus the advance options
Photoshop provides advance options to edit and create digital design things
Wednesday, November 9, 2011
SUMMARY OF RESEARCHES I DECIDED TO USE PIXELMATOR AS THE SOFTWARE I M GOING TO USE, SINCE IT HAS ALMOST THE SAME FUNCTION AS PHOTOSHOP ONLY MORE SIMPLER. PHOTOSHOP WOULD BE A GREAT APPLICATION TO WORK ON PROJECTS LIKE THIS BUT I HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE SOFTWARE. PAGES COULD HELP BUT IT S TOO WEAK TO DO THESE TYPE OF PROJECTS.

IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIETY ENVIRONMENT- WHILE WORKING ON THE LOGO, I WILL USE MY COMPUTER FREQUENTLY WHICH WILL USE ELECTRICITY AND ELECTRICITY COMES FROM THE LOCAL PLN STATION, IT WILL REDUCE SOME OF THE POWER FROM THE STATION. SOCIETY- WITH THE LOGO, SOCIETY WILL THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT THE SCHOOL WITH THE LOGO (TO THOSE WHO SEEN THE SINARMAS LOGO BEFORE) AND WILL CRITICIZE THE LOGO AS GOOD OR BAD .

DESIGN BRIEF I will make a designs and will choose one of them for the final product. This product will have to go through the 5 steps of the design cycle which is: Design, Plan, Create and Evaluation. I will do Investigation and Design before doing the actual project (Create), by doing this I will do a lot of research for this project to be successful. After Design I will start the Create stage where I start to make the project. After I have finished all the other stages I will evaluate on my project, I will reflect on my mistakes and see how the results will go.
