Assignment 6

I made playful text logos by using some vibrant colors and changing the font. For my first one I used sunset colors, which relates back to the tropical theme. As for the second text logo I used the vertical font tool and created a bulge in the middle to represent the round shape of a coconut. My color choice also emphasizes the "roundness" of the text. The third I used the type on a path tool. By using this tool I was able to create a "coconut" using text. The further back the text goes the lighter it gets and I used 4 different fonts creating my third text logo. For the last text logo I chose a simple font and green as the color. The green text compliments the green in my palm leaf and tree logos.

I used a palm tree for a logo because it is often related to coconuts and has a tropical theme. I wanted to keep the tropical theme consistent throughout all my work. The eraser and knife tool helped me to create the look of the palm tree. I decided to use big, blocky shapes to create a fun feeling. As for my second logo I used a palm leaf. Once again the eraser and knife tool helped me to create this logo. I chose to use a different approach and just outline the life against the background. Then complimented the leaf by cutting up the background.

I chose to use coconuts to help describe my object since it was coconut scented shampoo. For the first logo I created a simplified coconut broken in half. I like the simplicity because it is not overwhelming for the viewer, but still reads as a coconut. For the other logo I used a broken coconut again, but with a more involved design. The knife tool helped me make the jagged, broken edges of the second coconut. More attention is drawn to it because of the pink background.
