Cubes

this picture is an orthogonal cube made out of orthogonal cubes. it really was an amazing project that we did by following directions off of lynda.com. it was amazing to use some of the tools that we did use to make this creation. the only hard/tedious part was coloring every single square three times but was still amazing. cubes really are interesting and attention grabbing because if you make them right, it will look like they pop out at you. 

thats why i made a logo out of a cube, it uses shading to give the pop-out look, and then it has a shadow of to the side to show 3-D characteristics. i really believe its a good looking logo and would really love to use this in an everyday compony logo. 

this box with transparent sides is an idea that i got from Jessica Eaton. she does a lot of work with boxes/cubes and making the sides transparent and different colors. So the cube above, is my representation of the work that Jessica does except i made it look like light is coming out of the box. 

What is Graphic Design?

Graphic Design is a great class to take to really learn and explore with photoshop and illistartor. the class teaches you how to design logos, banners, t-shirts and hoodies, and  also how to tell stories in just a simple looking picture. Graphic Design to me is telling the whole product through a logo or picture. the picture should tell you everything about the product you are trying to sell or an opinion you are trying to share. for instance just looking at the google logo, The graphic designer who developed the now famous Google logo, said "We ended up with the primary colors, but instead of having the pattern go in order we put a sundry color on the L, which brought back the idea that google doesn't follow the rules. so you get all of that from just a very simple looking logo. trying to accomplish a logo like that is every Graphic designers purpose and goal. to tell a story or a even a statement through just a logo.
