1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.
I was very nervous. I'm terrible at any kind of art. It actually took me a really long time to do my sketches, I started over a few times. It took me awhile to even find an idea. I've made designs digitally, but never by hand.
2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.
It was really hard for me to find an idea like I said earlier. I really like photography so I figured a camera would be a good place to start. My nickname among my friends is "Double D" so I thought that I'd incorporate that into my logo as well. I wanted to make it seem like I was taking a picture of my nickname, sort of like it's on my LCD screen.
3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
I really ran into an issue with color, Cameras usually aren't colorful, but I have to fight through that and sort of create a camera that I wanted to make, despite the fact that it wasn't realistic.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching
the videos, powerpoint, and reading material for this project? What is
your opinion of the videos?
The most important thing I learned was aspects that make or break a logo. The video was really detailed and helped me in the construction of my logo.

A) "Chuck Close"
JANET, 1992
Oil on canvas
100 x 84 inches (254 x 213.4 cm)
George B. and Jenny R. Mathews Fund, 1992
I particularly liked this artwork because it makes it seem like many different pieces makeup a person. Whether it's family, friends, hobbies, talents or interests – we are all have many factors that make us who we are.
A) "The Canoes"
NANCY RUBINS
(AMERICAN, 1952)
STAINLESS STEEL, ALUMINUM, MONOCHROME I, BUILT TO LIVE ANYWHERE, AT HOME HERE, 2010-2011
stainless steel, stainless steel wire, and aluminum
I love this piece of art because of how large it is. It also seems like time has stopped, mid-rotation. These canoes must weigh so much – it's pretty incredible that they're able to with stain Buffalo weather.
B) ECHO, WOW AND FLUTTER, 2000
Leaves, pills, photo collage, acrylic, and resin on wood panel
84 x 120 inches (213.4 x 304.8 cm)

These piece made a big impression on me because of its depth. It seems like this artwork goes on forever. I love how it seems limitless. I like to think that this artist particularly wanted to show how the universe has many possibilities.

Albert H. Tracy Fund, 1900
"The Coming Storm" made a great impression on me because it makes me realize the amazing nature the God has created for us. The bright colors of the grass and trees are really, really gorgeous.

C) PEACEABLE KINGDOM, CA. 1848
Oil on canvas
23 7/8 x 31 7/8 inches (60.6 x 81 cm)
James G. Forsyth Fund, 1940
This painting makes want to ask a lot of questions. There's a leopard and a lion next to children. You would never want this to happen in the real world, however, maybe it's about having a peaceful Kingdom with all living organisms working together.
Oil on canvas
39 3/8 x 31 1/2 inches (100 x 80 cm)
Room of Contemporary Art Fund, 1941
This piece is extremely strange. I don't even know where to begin. I can't interpret it whatsoever, but it's extremely well done. It has so many subjects in this piece and really does a great job showing depth.
I enjoyed your reasoning's for each artwork you picked. I especially liked the ones you wanted to know more about. They were weird and confusing, but at the same time they were interesting and very well done.
