My Client SWA, a school that has been open for 3 years needs a new logo for the school, AOI, IB Learner Profile and the Design Cycle. I will have an interview with my client on what style, design and colors they would want to make a logo that signifies SWA.
•
Through out the semester I will be investigating, designing, planning and creating logos for the school SWA. I will make a very good logo that would make our school look good without the knowledge of the school, but just from the look of a logo. I will research the internet on the techniques to making a logo and even compare different logos to see what types of logo best fits for a logo here at SWA.

AOI(areas Of Interaction) •
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
The AOI for this topic is Human Ingenuity, this semester I will be making logos from nothing but comparing different logos, research and my own creativity. Creativity and Enthusiasm is need to produce the best logos. Human Ingenuity is when we explore the process and productivity of the human mind. This concludes the fact that this semesters project is all about Human Ingenuity.
Client Interview • •
Why do you want new logos for SWA?
•
What Types of colors would you like to have for the Logo? (Can be a specific color or mixtures)
•
Just like before, I would like to have mostly red, yellow, white. But for the new one we could have many different colors, but I would like the logos mostly bright because the color catches peoples attentions and it looks good and professional.
I would like some new logos for SWA so that we can get rid of the old ones and have new ones that make the school look good. This is why we need some outstanding logos from you.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
•
Do you want the logos to look Simple, Complexed(with secret messages), glossy, luxury, etc? (What concept/style?)
•
The logos would be better if the looked simple, but with some hidden messages so that it would seem interesting and worth a good look at. The style of the logos should be Indonesia-ish, we could have the traditional patterns, colors, etc.
• •
For what areas do you need the logos for? The new logos are needed for the school, AOI, IB Learner Profile and the Design Cycle.

CLient Interview Summary •

From the interview I have found the solution to making good designs. I will find various types of logos that are bright and interesting. I will compare them to see if there are some secrets to why they are interesting and how I could put a hidden message in my logo. SWA wants logos that gives a good impression of the school just from the look of the logo. But to be successful in this I should be able to accomplish all the wants of my client.

Ease of Creation Tuesday, December 13, 2011
It Is fairly easy to create a logo like this, This logo too is a very easy logo to create, but This is the basic logo for any product, it only but I will be abit hard to have hidden like the nike logo itself. I should have a interest has a name to the product making it very easy to create. point to it like the tick in the logo for nike. messages in the logo
Case study Summary •
For the case study, I researched many pictures and found different types of logos like the 3 logos I chose. These are all different types of logos. The FedEx logo is a logo that is simple but has a very interesting hidden message to it. The point of the logo is the hidden message. While the Google logo is a simple colorful logo that only tells us the name of the product. a logo like google may seem very unattractive, but the colors in it catch the viewers. Different from the 2 logos is the Nike logo. The Nike logo is a very interesting logo, the logo has a interest point to it. The tick in the logo is its interest point and the name, Nike is a very short and catchy name. The 2 combination of the interest point and the catchy name makes logo so interesting to the viewers and yes, nike is a very well known sports product company.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Summary of research •
I have research many techniques in making a very good logo. I have analyzed many different types of logos and the best looking and interesting logos were all logos of famous brands like Nike, Fedex, Adidas, Tobleron and etc. Good companies have great logos and great logos give a very good impression of a certain product. Many good logos have a catchy name, catchy slogan, colorful, simple and have hidden messages sometimes. As a viewer, I found many logos very interesting especially the Tobleron logo.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Impact on the environment •
The logo itself has no impact on the environment, but the process does. To design logos I use paper to draw many different designs, I’ll use alot and probably waste more than 30% of the amount I use. to make paper we need trees and if I waste paper, I am killing the trees causing soil erosion, landslides, global warming and etc.
•
The research of the topic requires a laptop, and the laptop I’m using now wastes huge amounts of electricity. Waste of electricity means wasting our finite resources on earth.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Impact on the Society
•
The logo I make will have a great impact on the society. The logos posted in the school, brochures or news will make people interested in the school although they’ve just seen the logo. People might come to check out the school because of a good first impression. After checking out the school people might decide to send their children to SWA. The logos might play a very important role in the increase of income and students in SWA.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
design brief •
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
I will design and create logos that will help make SWA look better. I will create 6 logo designs that will be analyzed and compared. The Design step in the Design Cycle is a very important step because, without the Design step we would create a random design, but with the design stage we get to analyze different design to come up with the best

Summary of investigation •
In the interview with my client, he provided me information on what kind of logo he wants for the school. All the concepts and style wanted were clarified in the client interview.
•
The Case Study helped me have a better understanding of what I have to do. The case study makes us investigate different goals that need to be achieve through out the project.
•
The research I did on the types of logos and techniques in making a good logo helped me know better on what a good logo is and what a bad logo is. THe different types of logos I’ve seen helped me analyse the logos and find patterns, pros and cons about the logos.
•
The specification and test made me clear of what I had to do in the design stage. The test I made in the specification will be done after the logos are made. The specification really helped me think of all the mistakes that could be made and prevent it from happening. The tests helped me think of what other people opinion would be on my logos and what I can change from the comments I get from the people.

Design Design 4 5
Summary of The IB learner Profile designs • •
• •
Communicator The logo had a clear idea of the topic communicator, but the design could have had more detailed decorations to it.
• •
Reflective The design was very good, the design clearly shows reflectiveness. The human shaped words make the logo very interesting.
• •
Balanced The logo is totally a students perspective. I put an hamburger, books and a basketball. These signify a normal student. The idea was really good, but there could have been some improvements in the word “BALANCED”
Caring This logo is a very interesting logo, The heart shape is the point of this logo. The logo has a handshake that creates a heart
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
• •
• •
Thinker The logo gives a very good idea of a thinker. the light bulb is the interest point. Although the logo is good, we could easily get confused with the idea of being knowledgeable rather than a thinker. Knowledgeable THis logo I especially like. the logo show a computer head with internet open. Internet is the world information and the stick man is having a test. This shows how knowledgeable the man is. This logo doesn’t have much limitations to it.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
• •
Open Minded
• •
Risk taker
The open minded logo shows a brain. This logo shows well what it is about. But the brain is kind of freaky, because of the clear brain shape. I could have made the brain more cartoonish.
THe risk taker logo too, I like. This logo clearly shows a risk taker and there is a sign board that states “Risk”. The bad thing about the logo is that it doesnta have a specific shape to it.
• •
Inquirer
• •
Principled
THe inquirer logo was very clear in it meaning. The logo was really good. With the stickman having a question flag on tis head. THe interest point to this design was the question mark face.
The principled logo shows a handshake and a different colored “PRINCIPLED” in it. This makes the logo very interesting. THe logo clearly shows the idea of being principled.

• •
Design 4
• •
Design 5
This design is a design that is clear, but plain. The design could have more to it, like a more cooler font. Although it has many limitations, It still has an interest point. The C is in a form of a clock.
My 5th design is also good. It isn’t so attractive, but looks good and it really tells about the design cycle plus it has a specific shape to it.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Evaluation of the plan Is your plan SMART? Yes my plan is SMART (Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, fits the time frame). My plan tells specific steps to achieve the goal of creating a product. The product that im going to make fits well with the SMART. For my time frame, I will be able to finish my product earlier than expected. Also it is realistic, achievable, specific and measurable.
Does the plan seem to be in logical steps? My Step by step shows what softwares I use and what are the steps in creating the product, the gantt chart in other hand is the timeline. The Step by step shows the HOW and the gantt chart shows the WHEN. This will be my guide to making my final product with less mistakes and helps me stay in track.
Concluding Evaluation of my Step by Step The step by step will show how I will progress my work and my Gantt chart will show how I divide specific time and task to finish the product in time.

I started making my IB learner profile logos. I drew all the logos using pixelmator. Some logos werent drawn, but was made up of different shapes provided my the app. Today I made 5 logos, I made the logo- Risk taker, Open Minded, Inquirer, Reflective, and Principled.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Documented Evidence Dec / 8 / 2011
Today I started making the left over logos- Communicator, Knowledgeable, thinker, balanced, and caring. While making my logos, I encountered some problems. The lines I drew werent always straight. Some lines were hard to make straight and so I used keynote to draw lines to paste into my logos.

Evaluation
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Evaluating My Performance •
Investigation
•
I did a descent job in my investigation. I was able to research relevent and important facts that would help me later in my create stage. The research helped me have more idea and understanding of the designs I was going to make.
•
Design
•
I did really well in my design stage, I had 15 designs. Consisting of IB learner Profiles and Design Cycle logos. The logos were made very originally. Most of them were made originally, although some were made of ideas that I got from other designs. The designs I made of Design Cycle was done wrong, I did not know I was suppose to make design s for each cycle, but instead. I drew logos for the Design Cycle itself. That is why I used the 10 IB learner Profiles for my logos.
•
Plan
•
The plan stage was done simply very well. The planning stage was about the process of the making of the advertisement. I made 2 things for my plan, the step by step and the gantt chart. The step by step was done very well, it was clear and precise.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
•
Create
•
The create stage was basically the making of my logos. In this stage I changed the application used to make the logos. Instead of Sketch Up, I used Pixelmator to make my logos. The logos were faster and easier to make in the Pixelmator. Every class and times when I did worked on my logos, I made a documented evidenc for it. Luckily for this project I only used up 2 lessons and extra time at home to finish making.
•
Evaluate
•
The evaluation stage is a great stage to reflect on what we did in class. It makes us realize what we could have done better and what we’ve done well.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011
YES
Successful Points
â&#x20AC;˘ One of my most successful points in my products
were the originality and clear messages. I was able to show and tell a clear idea of the logo. Most of the logos too were made original. I used series of logos
Least Successful Points Some of the logos didnt have a very pretty shape and there were alot of bad lines. THe shapes of the logo were kind of bumpy and not neat. This was very hard to straighten up, so I used keynote for lines.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Modifications & Developments â&#x20AC;˘ The appllication I used to make my logos
were changed I decided to use Pixelmator rather than Sketch Up. This is because it was easier to make the logos with pixelmator and also because our logos only needed to be printed. But the Sketch Up make 3d models, which wastes time while we dont have to.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Client Peer to Peer • • • • • •
Were the logos good?
• • • •
Does the logo have an impact to your knowledge of the IB learner Profile?
THe logos look very creative and good. Do you recognize any of them? Do you think I might have copied any of them? I think some are kind of familiar but I dont think I know any logo that look like them. Do you think the logos are exceptable for display in SWA? Some of them are good enough, but some still needs some improvement to the out lines and color
I think the logos you’ve made gives me a more clear idea of the Ib learner Profile What Improvements could I make? Specifically. I think you could improve the color and outlines. Some logos have bumpy lines, it doesnt look so good. Also some logos have a very funny color to it which could be changed.
Tuesday, December 13, 2011
Impact on Society
â&#x20AC;˘ There isnt much impact on the society. For this logo is made for only our school. But still it does have some impacts on the SWA community. Teachers and students can Identify their IB learner Profiles more
Impact on Environment The logo itself doesnt necessarily have a significant impact on the society, but the process and the final result does have some impacts. The making of the logo need laptops, and laptops use electricity to run. This is a impact on the environment and a limitation to the technology. The logos we chose were at the end, printed. 10 papers were used for the final product. A design on each paper, besides the papers. It also wasted inc, which are expensive and hard to produce.
