CIOS 108 Final

This is my final draft submission. When I started I thought of benches, scales, gavels, and all the other stuff court room things. I decided to go on a different path. I started by making the planet when I thought of power and authority I wanted to show that with this book the readers could hold the power of the world. I created it by making a circle with the marquee tool while holding shift to keep it even. I then used the difference of clouds render with black and white to get the cloudy effect, then I added a gradient of blue to white on color burn blending mode, I added an outer glow and lowered the opacity. I simply copied my image and made it smaller to place on the spine. I used a gradient on the covers of the book, I pick browns because it gave a law book feel. I then took a picture of a hand and duplicated it, got the best selection I could and blended them with luminosity. I pasted the left most picture and created a textured stroke. I then cropped out the face and used the eyes to get a more powerful feel. I used the number one on the spine so that she can create more books and use the same style to tie them together. I placed the text with a serif font to make the cover feel more elegant which is one of the things that is needed for a book on manners no matter where it means for you to use it. The last thing I did was pick up some texture gray scaled it and blended it to make the spine feel more real. Overall I used natural colors and elements so that Marion would feel a sense of nature and authority from the cover of her book.

CIOS 108 final summary draft

I have decided to send my six sketches that I have been tossing around in my head. I would like to let Ms. Marion to know that not all logos have to help push across what it is that the company does, I would advise her to look at NBC and Mac’s logos the peacock and the apple, neither have anything to do with what the company is about and that the point of the company is more important in marketing through commercials and print. Stating that I would like to reinsure Ms. Marion that this would be a great place to bring out the natural feel she wants to her logo. I have included a range of ideas from simple initials to large more detailed sketches. I would also like the state that I would like to use natural colors such as browns, greens, and yellows.

Option A – A simple design the word law can be drop to make it very basic.

Option B – pushes the fact that it is a publishing company

Option C – A more creative way of just using the initials.

Option D – stresses the name as crown king and that it is a publishing company. Three books that spell law well with what kind of books she is publishing.

Option E – the most natural, a crown made out of a bushy texture, the initials would be embedded into a trunk textured area and that the roots of the company are around the law.

Option F – stresses the crown king point the farthest.

I would personally bump option D and E.

Hierarchal Progression project 7

This project i believe i made more difficult than it had to be. I was very confused at what the book wanted so i looked around to see what others where doing to get an idea. I cam eup with the phrase and did graphics to define each section of the phrase. The phrase "Humans are let skyscrapers, even with stone feet, they reach for the starts, yet the world, can change their direction" cam to me when i thought of how we all want to reach our goals, and even if we plant ourselves firmly in one place the earth still rotates and moves our direction.

My theme was "ever changing" even though it kind goes against what the book said i wanted to challange the book by making a theme that has no theme.

Half of my graphics were hand drawn because i couldn't find anything to work with to get the result i wanted.

My first graphic i used gradient tools to make lines shoot off to show men and woman are diffrent yet the lines cross to show we can come together. I hand drew the signs becuase i didn't like the photos i had taken or the ones i found.

My second graphic i used the outline of some feet and used texture to make the prints look cracked like the feet had been there a while and ripped up to show how still and how long they had been there. The stripes give the graphic the lines that were needed and filled the blank area.

My third graphic I hand drew a girl cause the first thing i thought of was a girl being amazed and having the stary gaze. The stars were then placed into a line to point up and out to the sky.

My forth graphic i use strictly photoshop and tried my hand at speratic drawing, not the greatest but i did get my point across.

My fifth graphic although not the best looking had my favorite effect. People and see mulitple sets of lines, wheither its seeing four black and four white arrows pointing in or line where the white and black clash.
