One of my classmates said " I wonder if we could work together as a team". So we asking hour tour if it would be ok. My tour said its fine by him but we must stick with the brief. My friend likes creating environments and I like creating characters. So we had our job roles, But we did mot know what the idea should be about. So we said we will pick this up on Friday by that time we would have an idea.

Wednesday

When I started my competition design I did not know what to design. So I thought to start by doing some research by looking at images. When I was scoroling thought Google images I was like at cartoon style characters, Realistic draws of real people, cartoon environments, Realistic environments and vehicles. These were the main styles of art work on Google images. Then I come across an Image of Jimi Hendrix. This was a skeleton of him wearing his cloths. I through that this was a good idea the artist has took the key parts of this person. I have never since this before this give me idea on what my design could be. So I was going to have a think over night of my options.

Thursday

Then my idea come to me I through to create a design on Bruce lee. When I was looking at the Jimi Hendix picture. I knew that he a is a famous person and that he has died. So I through how is famous and is died and the first person come to mind is Bruce Lee. I like creating illustration work and Bruce Lee so what could be better to combined to together.  So I started to look at some different illustration art work on Google images to see what other people have made. Just to get an idea on what type of art work I could create.

Friday

I started on my drawing of Bruce lee I thought to draw out one of his ionic fighting movies. The Fly kick and the cut marks that he go in Enter the dragon. I took my inspiration from the jimi Hendrix image by taking key parts.

Saturday

I finish off my drawing of Bruce Lee and did some more Inspirational research. I wanted to get my drawing done so that I could go in on Monday and use illustrator.

Analysis for 5 different Logo's

Name of Logo: Bison
Company/Artist: Band called Bison
Link to Logo: http://weburbanist.com/2010/06/28/hidden-logos-12-creative-designs-with-secret-symbols/

Design Elements
Colours- Black
Shape- of a Bison
Use of text: Well placest out letters

What I think?
The colour is a bit boring, The only thing that I can think of is that what if it had a Bison a skin texture in stand of black. The shape of the letters could not be in a better place. This works so well I think this type of font such be used more often, This goes for the text as well.

Versatility
What do I think of the Logo would it work in other mediums?
Yes, I think it would work in different mediums. Such as a font web site for example if you are stuck on what type of font to use you could use Bison. Also this would work as a sign in a bar/pub with the sign hanging out side the font door.

Is It highly detailed or simplistic?
I think that is Logo detailed for a logo because there are different shape and it has a image to go with it at the same time.

Appropriateness 
Does it suit the general style of the company/artist? Well if I come across this logo I would not know that this belonged to a band. But band can have very strange names and logos. So it kind of works in that respect.

Company/Artist: Band
Link to Logo: http://www.wickedweb.co.uk/casestudies/levi-roots/



Design Elements
Colours- Black and white
Shape- of a Guitar
Use of text- Block font

What I think about the colours is that it would be better to use a wooden texture for the Guitar. When you look at Logo you can tell what it is. The text is not bad it would be better is the word roots has roots coming out of it.

Versatility
What do I think of the Logo would it work in other mediums? Yes, This does work as a music studio.

Shape- Rounded edge square with Star 

Use of text: Simpal   

What I think?

I would think that normally for a logo to work Three colours would be the best choose. Black and Yellow go well it make the Logo stand out. The shape is very simpal but were nit. The text is very simpal but it is a play on with the letter R and the Star.  

Versatility
What do I think of the Logo would it work in other mediums? I don't think that this Logo would go with anything eles. I think that the logo is very plane. But I still like how there but there company's name in the logo. Just by one letter and a shape.

Is It highly detailed or simplistic? This Logo is very simpal, Since is only a square, The letter R and a star.

Appropriateness 
Does it suit the general style of the company/artist? Most people would see this Logo and we would know what its from. But is you did not know the company you would not think it would be from a games company.

Red Is a very good colour to use is you what some thing to stand out and this is one of them. The shape of the Logo you can tell that is a horse with each way the letters are foamed.
