Exquisite Corpse

The exquisite corpse project was really cute and a lot of fun to make! I thought it was cool because it was my first time really creating something on Illustrator. I tried to make the "arena" look like a circus one with people watching but that was a little hard to make a silhouette audience as my first time using illustrator. The only issues i really ran into were on the legs when the shapes would run into each other and stop me from completely filling the rest in. It took some re-doind and some trial and error but there weren't too many other difficult tasks for this project.

Completed Logo

The idea for this logo comes from the company that stands for cruelty free make up. I thought the name Fauna and then the logo as a deer would work because it is non animal tested and a baby deer is a fawn so that makes the most sense. Although the logo does not include anything really to do with make up, the eyelashes are a little long and full looking to make them look pretty. I chose this dark teal because it seemed more natural and easier to look at than a normal green color. Since the company stands for all natural kind of products, the font has the handwritten look to it. Overall, the design should look inviting and give off the look of something natural and to do with animal friendly. Other make up company's choose to advertise models and have very feminine looks but this just stands as a friendly invite to the products. I included a few of my sketches that i started with for my logo. Although I ended up using one of them on this, you can see my process through the different style of deer.

Caligramme

For this assignment, I chose a microphone and then added different genres of music. Some of the areas required me to use the warp tool (like where the mic folds in on the top due to the wires to create that rounded and uneven look). I have the word microphone written there in the center just to be sure and also music is tucked away in in there. I now feel pretty confident that I can use the text to create something interesting with my logo.
