I had a lot of fun creating the logo for this project. I think of all the components of this project, that is what I am most proud of. I feel that I actually created a portfolio piece. I was not a big fan of the collaborative aspect for this. If we are given a partner/ group assignment we need at least two weeks for it. It was difficult because my partner was only present one class period, so I was on my own for most of it. I like the idea of using children because I think it really tugs on the heart string for viewers. I definitely could have improved the quality of the “free” type that the little girl is holding. As I mentioned previously, if we had more time, I could have put much more time and effort into the design quality. I’d like to find better quality images of children holding blank signs; I just used those photos as placeholders to portray the idea. I am not super happy with what I produced; however, conceptually I think this idea could be really awesome. I also came up with the verbiage (which wasn’t my job anyhow). I think that with more thought that part could be a lot stronger. Overall I think that with improvement, the final product of this idea could be really strong.
