Logo reflection
- 1. DIRECTIONS: Using complete sentences, compose an Artist Statement of at least one paragraph that addresses the following components: - What techniques did you use to develop this piece? (For example: cropping/zooming, overlapping, rotating, inverting, simplifying (merging letters), changing the font, balancing positive and negative space/shapes.) - How did you use these techniques to make your logo successful, unique, and/or meaningful? - Discuss the planning process: How did you use thumbnail sketches (small practice sketches) to help you come up with your design, and what adjustments did you make that helped you decide on your final design? - Were you inspired by any logos you have seen in class or everyday life? Which ones and how? - Do you feel that your logo is a good symbol for you as an individual? Why or why not? If not, how would you design a logo that better represents you? (Did you find yourself drawn towards certain fonts or arrangements? What could these choices say about you?) - How could you use any of these skills in the future? (In art class or outside of class.) Please use the back of this sheet to complete your reflection. A typed response is also permitted.
