Clients Project
For my Digital Media II honors project, my client will be my sister who lives on a college campus but we will still communicate in person because she comes home every weekend. For this project she has asked me to design any sort of design or logo for her to use.
Client Project Description
My client project is a graphic design project in which I will be designing a logo for my client. In this project I will create some sort of logo design that will reflect my clients major. To perform this project I will be using Adobe Illustrator to manipulate and create my own designs that will satisfy my clients needs and wants. I am creating this logo because my client wants something to be able to put at the front of their binders and a logo design with her name or anything else on it will be the best solution.
First basic idea of DNA strand
Integrated my client's first initial with the DNA strand
Logo 1 package

Went more in depth with the DNA strand by trying to show what it would look like completed
Changed the font because client did not like how "plain" the other font was
Logo 2 package
|
Added the K for my client's first initial and changed the color scheme a bit
Added the name of my client's major
|
Changed the font and made the whole thing blue because the client's favorite color is blue
Integrated the name of my client's major into the logo for better aesthetic

Reflection
The reason that I chose to do a graphic design for my client is because the easiest client I could get was my sister and she wanted a graphic design instead of any other type of media that I could make. The biggest challenges that I faced was trying to find something that suited my client in all aspects, for example my client either did not like the colors, the font, or just the design of the logo and these all required me to restart what I did. For the color and the fonts it was easier to change and switch out but with the overall design, I would have to scrap a weeks worth of work just because my client did not like the design. This project helped me develop my skills and abilities with creative thinking and designing different graphics while also helping me achieve a better understanding of adobe illustrator. I think that my graphics turned out pretty good and was definitely challenging enough for me but if I were to do something different I probably would have changed the integration and location of the K on the first logo so everything would smoothly fit together. From this project I learned how difficult it is to work with a client in graphic design, there was always a difference of opinion, different preferences, the client being picky about small things, and communication issues that result in me creating something that was not what my client was thinking. In the end my client like the first logo more and will use that one for her own personal uses.
