Image 1:

In this picture, I applied a few filters to it. I applied an artistic filter and used the smudge tool. Then I used the distort filter and chose glass ripple. After that, I used the diffuse tool and made it darker. Lastly, I used the burn tool in the top corners of the picture and the dodge tool towards the middle of it near the sun.

Design 1 - Logo

Original Almana & Partners Logo:

My Logo:

The logo that I made for the company Al Mana & Partners is very simple. I only used two bold colors in it, red and black. I chose to use red for the "&" because red symbolizes strength and I want the people to know that the Al Mana family has a strong bond with their partners. I also wanted my logo to fit into a square so that it can be used at the corner of all their things so that they can be easily recognized. The logo doesn't include many gradients, shadows, and complicated details.

Logos

ABC's logo is a very good example of a successful logo. The logo has been created by Paul Rand in 1962 and it still remains unmodified. It is very simple so that people can recognize it. The font used is not too fancy. The logo doesn't incorporate many colors, only black and white which makes it more visually appealing. This logo has been effective for a very long time because of its simplicity.

McDonald's logo is one of the most recognized logos world wide. The main reason for that is because of its simple yet effective logo. It only uses one primary color. The logo is very simple, it comprises of two golden arches only. It doesn't include intricate details, lines, or gradients. This makes it easier for the people to pick out among many of the logos we see today.

Investigation 1

This picture is a good example of graphic art because of many reasons. For example, it has a good use of color and it is very easy to understand. It uses bold colors that contrast in order for the product to be seen clearly. The colors are not very bright and it is visually appealing. It is also a very effective advertising tool. It clearly shows a girl enjoying listening to her iPod. That implies that iPods are handy, easy to use, fun, and entertaining. The picture also shows that the iPod has headphones so that the world doesn’t have to listen to whatever the user is listening to.

This picture is also a good example of graphic art. Even though the writing in the picture is not in English, we can still understand it pretty clearly. Just by looking at it, we know that the camera comes in five different colors: black, white, pink, blue, and green. We also know that the cameras are 4GB big. By the way the girl is holding the camera, we can imply that the camera is handy and useful at times and places where we need them the most like parties and get-togethers. A party is shown as the background of the picture and that shows that the product can be used anywhere. The picture has good use of color and it is easy to understand even though the writing is not in English. I think that it is a very effective advertising tool.
