Shape Homework

First of all we opened up illustrator and we used the pen tool to dramm a shape like a spade. We then filled it and sent it over to photoshop. Afterwards we added a colour on to the top left corner and scattered and distorted it. We then did this for 4 different corners to make a light effect. We kept on adding new layers to lighten the effect of this and to make it more interesting. After this we covered it in white to give a brighter effect and added in patches of dark to make it better. We then coloured over it in 8 different colours and covered the entire image. We deleted the remainder of the colour and left a bright effect to the image and added bits of dark to make it look better.

Homework Font 3: Indiana Jones Logo

This logo is of the brand called Indiana Jones. The font style is a sans serif looking style. The name of the font used is called SF Fedora and is a really interesting font as it is wrote in a slanted style.

The colours help this stand out really well as it blends from orange to yellow to white and it looks extremely bright and colourful. It is also extremely eye-catching and is very easily recognisable.

Most people will be able to tell what this represents very easily as it is an extremely well-known series and the font style is highly recognisable to many people.

Homework Font 2: Pixar Logo

This font is of the Disney Pixar Logo. The font is a serif style and has the unique aspect of having Luxo Jr, one of Pixars' first videos, in the place of the 'I'. The colouring scheme is pretty bland and only uses black on the lettering and a blue background. The logo was designed by Disney to represent the standalone films Pixar produces.

The font is also rather plain to look at, but is easily recognisable to people all over the world.

Homework font 1: Marvel Logo

The font that is used for the Marvel logo is similar to the font called Benton Sans Extra Comp Black and is a very bold font which stands out when it is imprinted on any Marvel licensed material. The font logo was created by two people called Cyrus Highsmith and Tobias Frere-Jones.
The font is a Sans-Serif font and features no gaps in the letters, as each one interlocks except the last two letters which are the 'E' and the 'L'. I like the simplicity of the font and the colours of it help it to stand out well. The use of its' basic colouring helps the overall effect of the image work extremely well, as it stands out and is eye-catching.
