My Final Black & White Logo:




My 3 Colour Versions:

Artist Statement:
In this piece of work, I wanted to represent two cultures that made me who I am today; Japan and Dubai. My grandparents live in Japan and I travel there every year ever since I was a toddler and have grown up there. I created the Burj Khalifa using the pen tool to make a silhouette. I wanted to make the building one colour so I chose to do a silhouette instead of details as the logo design I was going for was a simple design. I chose to do this building because it strongly represents Dubai and it meshed well with the shape of the letter N, becoming the vertical line.

For the letter N, which is the initial of my first name, I picked a graffiti font for the logo because the connecting area of the N looked like a tree branch. The font fits well with the theme of turning my letter into a sakura branch to show the Japanese culture side. I chose the sakura flower because it is an important part of Japan to me. When I went during the spring, I got to see the cherry blossoms in their bloom and it was the most magical experience because most of the trees were pink and made Japan look ethereal. Its a precious memory and also represents Japan as they are quite well known for the cherry blossoms.

Portfolio

Artist Statement: I tried my best to keep my portfolio as neat looking as possible and kept a colour scheme that is easy on the eyes; black, white and red. For the front and back cover I used pictures of Japan as they are aesthetically pleasing and related to me. I tried my best to separate my work and make it as big as possible so that it is able to be seen. I kept the artist statement/most of my text on separate pages. I made sure to organize the layout properly so that the texts weren't next to each other and made sure it was kept in order of when we did each assignment. My favourite page is the logo page where I formatted it to look like a professional brand guideline page and it took me very long to lay it out the way I wanted it to. If I had more time, I would try out some different fonts and make some pages more interesting, but overall I am very proud of what I made.

Abstract: The Art of Design | Platon: Photography

In your own words, describe an image from the documentary or “The People’s Portfolio” that brought you close to your own emotions? This image about a mother hugging her son's gravestone in Arlington cemetery who died fighting for America. This woman sits by her son's grave everyday and reads to him. The story about this picture made me tear up because the emotions about this image are so strong and touch me because of my personal connection to Islamic countries (even if I am not Muslim). As an international student, the image represents that even though someone is of a different religion or race, they still get respected by the country they died fighting for. The mother's unconditional love even after he has died is so beautiful and the grief shown in this picture is so clear.  The picture captures the profound grief and pain experienced by a mother who has lost her child, highlighting the deep emotional connection between a mother and her son. It is a reminder of the hum...

Photoshop Tutorials

  This video is cool when creating professional posters or wanting to go more into graphic design. I think creating the background and cleaning up the images is quite simple but the touch up on the images used takes practice to understand lighting and shading. The colour grading of the shapes and images is quite hard to understand when new to Photoshop. The positioning of everything and the choice of typography can be tricky too when matching a poster subject to the aesthetic needed. The tools itself are not hard to use as it was mostly transforming the images and a lot of it is similar to what we did in Illustrator. I think this video is fun to use when creating art from already existing images, as photo manipulation is a cool concept to understand when learning photoshop. Working on the compositing is quite simple to do as it is just editing already existing images from the internet and just fixing the levels of black and white on the images to create a mood/tone of the piece.
