Lyrical Collage

For this collage I probably used about twenty different images. The point of this collage is to show how bad pollution is affecting our oceans and the creatures within it. I wanted this to be a powerful collage so I tried my best to make it look as realistic as possible. I am not sure if it really worked, but I feel I get my point across. I put a bunch of different trash images within the Dolphin and the Turtle to show that animals are mistaking our trash for food. The jellyfish in the background is wrapped in a plastic bag to show how animals are getting caught in our trash and suffering from it. In reality they are dying from the pollution. I also used all kinds of plastic bottles and stuff to litter the ground to add to the affect. The quote I used is from the song Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell. I feel the line from this song fits well because if we do not start getting our act together there will be a lot of negative problems that result from it. 

 

In Hawaii? Nahh, I wish!

First picture is the edited version with me in Hawaii! :D I had to darken the brightness of my hair the on my arm from the sunshine in the original picture with me. I also had to adjust the colors of my picture to fit with the colors of the Hawaii picture. I intensified the saturation and brightened it up a little bit.

I really want to go to Hawaii!!!

Image

 

Above is a picture I took of a record on a record player at my house.Under is the original picture. I did this project through various stages. What I would do is work on one section of an image one day and then the next section on another day. I think I probably should have chosen a simpler image, but I was already so far with this image. I feel I  did an okay job. I had a very hard time with the shadows in the background. I used the layers tool quite a bit to do this image as well. I made a lot of different layers when I worked on the various sections of the photograph, which kind of save my life when doing this project.

Logo - Vitality Images

Here are my Logos

I really wanted a natural look for my logo.
I decided to make my main logo a camera with a flower as the flash because of my interest in nature, which is going to be my focus in photography. I made the camera green and yellow to kind of represent plant life and sunshine. I thought that if I made the camera my main logo I could put it in with other things, like my elephant below. Maybe when this image becomes more well known the camera would be able to stand out more with other images, like my elephant. That is at least what I hope to do.
I named my company Vitality Images because the word vitality relates to strength and power. Since I am focusing on nature I felt that vitality fit because of how powerful nature is. My logo doesn't look very powerful, but most things in nature don't. The most beautiful flower in the world could be the deadliest, like the Oleander.

Calligram

Here is my attempt at a calligram.

Drawn Possible Logo Ideas

Company name still TBA, but here are some of my logo ideas. I like them, but not that good for a photography company though.

Critiques

1. The Walt Disney Company logo. Since I was a kid I have always loved the Walt Disney company. I don't know if its because I was raised on some of the most spectacular children movies of all time, or because I had a hanging night light with Mickey Mouse on it in my bedroom as a kid. All I know is when I look at this logo I think of an old pal. Whether it was because of the movies, parks, or toys that I owned. This logo is known by many children world wide, as well as adults. Many people today have grown up with the Disney company, and even though I am one of the younger generations the Disney Company still has had a huge impact on my childhood, as I am sure it will on many other younger generations in future (hopefully anyway!).





 2. World Wildlife Foundation logo. I believe this company has a great logo. I know when I see this logo on something that I might be purchasing I know I'm buying something for a good cause. I like how this logo incorporates one of the many living things its fighting to protect. Panda's have been on the endangered species list for quite sometime now, and WWF is one of the many animal rights organizations trying to protect and preserve them. This logo is simple, which is something that I like about it. Even though it not bright and obnoxious it still can get your attention. This logo is for the animal lovers out there in the world who want to help with protecting them.




3. Ford Motor Company Logo. The Ford Motor company logo is very simple, and has changed very little since the 1900s. I personally don't love the logo, but it fits the company and is well known to people. I know in movies and commercials they make sure you see what kind of car is being driven by showing off the logo. I believe that most car logos are directed to the male audience thanks to the stereotype of men and their cars. I have seen this logo in many places though, so its definitely well established no matter the gender.





4. Quicksilver company logo. Quicksilver sports company is an interesting  logo. You can tell that this is directed more toward the male audiences. Quicksilver has a female version called Roxy for women. I really like the Quicksilver logo because of how they incorporate the the ocean and mountain into their icon. It definitely stands out.







5. Ray Ban logo. I feel as if the Ray Ban logo is simple and kind of classy. I feel as if this logo suits the company well because these designer glasses are fashionable yet very classy and business like at the same time. You can wear them on a fun day out around town, to the beach, or on a business trip, or to work. This logo I think represents its brand, and is well known to many people. This logo I believe can appeal to most audiences, whether your man, woman, or teen.
