Self-Brand

Branding myself was a project that I had a really hard time with. It took me many tries to find the one mark that I would be satisfied with. I’ve always had a hard time describing myself so once the self-branding assignment was given to me and my class, I knew it would be a challenge. Challenges are fun to me; it makes me push further into concept with tasks.

My logo contained my last name and a mark. The mark was actually a lower case “a” from the Georgia font family, but with the bowl taken out to where the “a” was still recognizable, but also abstracted.

Once I had my logo complete, I could continue to work on deliverables. My letterhead, envelopes, thank you card and presentation folder ended up being very clean and simple.

Overall, I am pretty satisfied with self-branding assignment. It was difficult, but rewarding at the same time.

AIGA with Lisa Blevins and Grant Little

Trying to come up with a name and tagline for AIGA’s voting event was quite difficult. I’m glad I was able to be part of this experience because our clients, Lisa Blevins and Grant Little, were extremely great observers and offered us great feedback towards our designs. After the name was chosen we were finally able to start working on a logo that would fit the name. Before, my classmates were just designing logos to other potential names.

The name that was chosen was “Volume Through Volume.”

Nekita Harville’s design was the final pick out of all the logo designs that were presented. Lisa added to the Nekita’s design by drawing the shape of a face around the logo with a neck. That was then our template to go with for designing the voting posters.

This whole experience was very helpful for us as we continue to grow in the design field.
