Finding Type

The STOP is san serif. It is used on the school computers trying to tell people do not destroy it because it is property of the department of education. I find it appropriate for its purpose because the message is simple and it is communicates the message very well.

The UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE is san serif and a little bit of decorative because of the way the letter A is. This typeface was printed on the United States Postal Service cars. It is used to help identify the car and also advertise to the people. The typeface is use is appropriate for its purpose because for someone walking on the street, it is very easy to read but with the uniqueness of the letter A is makes the name special.

The word RECYCLING is san serif and it is printed on the recycling trash can. This typeface is appropriate for its purpose because the message is simple and within the word. When someone is in a rush, no one is going to spend time to analyze the word is it was all fancy and difficult to read so making it simple can help communicate the message better.

GOING TO THE AIR? is simple san serif and it is the advertisement for the car service. This advertisement is placed on the phone booth. This type is appropriate for its purpose because no one really stops on the street to read an advertisement. Being that is is on the street, it needs to be simple so the audience can receive the message in a matter of seconds.

This typeface is slab serif and modern. It is printed onto the school laptops to help identify the difference from other people's personal laptops. The typeface is appropriate for its purpose because it does not need to be simple because people can take their time when looking at these worlds. Also it added a sense of importance when the typeface is not too simple but still easy to read.

REVOLUTION EYES is a phrase in front of a glasses store. The typeface is decorative and slab serif. It is appropriate for its purpose because it is a glasses store so the typeface should be interesting to the eye but also easy to read.

Which Typeface Would You Be?

This font is called Wizardry by Shrine of Isis Font Foudry because I like star themed things and I magic such as watching magic shows and such so I choose this one that is kind of both of those things.

SGE: Student Government and Ethics Logo Research

SGE is composed of a total of five branches; Student Store Board, Student Trustee Committee, Environmental Committee, Student Life Committee and Fairness & Wellness Committee. There is a total of 20 - 30 members that serve for two year terms. There are no specific positions in each committee and everyone is equal. The purpose of SGE is to allow the students to have a voice in their school community and organize different events and impose different rules to make the school community better. 

Each committee has a different goal. The Environmental Committee is to help make the school eco-clean and green. Fairness and Wellness Committee is meant to protect the student's rights and the honor code. The purpose of the Student Life Committee is to organize events around the school. The School Store Board is the management branch of SGE that helps run the school store. The Student Trustee Committee gives advice with hiring teachers and input opinions on usage of money, raising money, and bring awareness to the school.

To gather more information, I asked a member of the Environmental committee to help me answer some questions. The member told me that the SGE is about representing the student body and its purpose is to allow students to have a voice in the school. Our principle McEvoy is the representation of the club. The theme of SGE is law. There are students from all grades and everyone is very nice to each other. Something that the member enjoys a lot about the club is the free food. Also, she likes how it allows the students to have a voice. Her idea for the logo would to have a logo that represents all five branches and try to show that through the logo.
 

Look Out For Logos

Longchamp is one of the brands that I own. I really like this logo because of how you can see name of the brand in the logo. The logo is a horse rider. Horses are for traveling long distances in the past and how it horse is lunging. As for the champ part, champ is short champion like the winner of the long distance race. 

 

This is the AA Bridge logo by George Bokhua. I think logo is well designed because it has the AA in the logo and although it seem like letterwork at first, but can also be a brandmark because it has a bridge incorporated into the logo. However, on thing that I dislike about this logo is how it could be misunderstood for the letter M. 

Portrait Transformation

Before 

After

My concept is to not hurt the environment and Earth in general. I tried to show that by having a person's hand telling people to stop. Her hair is also made of roses to show that we are part of nature and Earth so we shouldn't hurt it. Earth is on fire to show the harm we have already done to it and on the right side, there are flowers in black and white and most of them are dying.
