A fail attempt at Visual Design

As part of my major (Educational Communication), we are required to take DEVC141 (Visual Design and Techniques). And apparently, I'm not that gifted with the arts. My drawing skills are on par with an elementary student, and my photoshop design skills are somehow near average.

For a bonus exercise, we are tasked to do a logo challenge. I am to create a logo for Tito Ding (a staff in Devcom), and his business of selling kropek. 

And voila! 

Behold my output as a result of a futile attempt at designing, huhu. Now that I think about it, I made Tito Ding's face (yes, I stalked him on Facebook and downloaded his photo haha) look like KFC! LOL. And look at that prawn dangling on the letter P! Credits to the owner of that google image. Haha.

Self-representation: Personal Logo

My very own personal logo.

This output is for my DEVC141 class - a personal logo. I really hoped I have portrayed myself well via this illustration. 

I used a lipstick, a kissmark, and a heart at the end of my name. I wonder what people thinks about it? Haha. I wanted to show I'm a bit girly, kikay and quirky at times. Haha.

TypARTgraphy

While the ever famous typography is artistic arrangement of different typefaces, font sizes, length and spacing, typARTgraphy is a play on the words typography and art. Basically it is the use of different typefaces, letters, colors etc., to create a visual art.

My DEVC141 teacher challenged us to do just this. So here's what I came up with:

This is a whale. Well, at least I intend it to be.

I used the lower case of the letter "L" as the body of the whale. Small "V"s for the fin and for the water coming out. The water sprays and the tail is composed of the letter "3". The eye and the mouth are done using the characters, ) and ^ respectively. 

But, then again, with my visualization skills and designing techniques, it may not do justice to typARTgraphy. So here are some of the better examples I found on Google. Click the photo to view the original website. This artist is indeed talented... *sobs.*
