      • The site attracts me as it is very minimalistic and uses monochrome colors. I also like how it is putting emphasis on the art Craig Black made. The colors of the art are in unique patterns, primarily using bright colors that drag your eyes towards the art. I also like the way the way he is descriptive about his art and his life with art.  
      • The layout is nice as it has a hierarchy that drags you eyes from either left to right or the opposite and then down as the rows of his art progress. The colors are very bright and remind me of hydro dipping. The fonts are clean and easy to read.

      • The site attracts me as it has a nice scrolling effect that I really like and it displays his art in a unique way.
      • The layout is nice as it has a hierarchy that drags you eyes from top down. The fonts are very easy to read and help to describe his art. The shapes he uses help to emphasize his art in contrast to the background art.

      • The site attracts me as it puts an emphasis on his art and the light colors he uses for the site.
      • The layout is nice as it is organized in a way to show off his work in different fields. I also like how he organizes his work in a way where each art piece has their own section that is evenly spaced from the other work.

      • The site attracts me as it has animated text as soon as you open the website. I also like how their works fade in as you scroll though.
      • The website is organized nicely. showing the work they've done and when you click on the pictures it shows in in way more detail. My one issue with this is the text is a bit odd to read.

      • The site attracts me as it has a nice intro screen as soon as you enter the site. I also like how there are images cut out in the background as you scroll down.
      • The website is organized nicely and I like how the text is simple yet organized in a way for you to understand what he's done in his work and in his art.

Refining My Logo

  Why The Final Works      Out of all of these designs, I feel like the 5th design which is at the bottom left is my favorite. This is because it is one of the only ones where I feel like the line around the Tor actually connects well and I also like how the color gradient worked and the deep blue to light purple I like a lot. I feel like it works the best as the final because it looks both clean and professional which is what I was going for with the Tor design and the tighter spacing works better with the font and doesn't affect the way you interpret the design. I think it also stands out the most compared to the other designs with my eyes gravitating towards that last design in specific rather than the other designs. I din't spend the most time on the design but it looks like there was a lot of effort made to make the design like that in which did happen when making the design. It also represents the track I was going for the best which I just unintentionally real...

Five Digital Logo Comps Reflection

 5 Digi Roughs 1 2 3 4 5 Reflection I was pretty happy with the way my digi roughs had come out. I decided to do one design that I liked for each one of the names. I had a couple issues while making these designs though, firstly I couldn't find the right font for Eric so I found a different one but used the same design. Secondly, for Eric Torres I wrote it in my normal hand writing so I had to choose a font that I'd like to represent the design. Thirdly, the line I made on Tor I wasn't really happy about but I am not all that bothered by it since its a rough. I like the designs though as I found a nice font for Eric and both the ET and Torres came out well and the way I liked. I feel like I could still improve on these designs more as I move from roughs to finals. I also had to understand how to use the direct selection tool and create outline in order to make both ET and Torres look more connected and nice rather than it looking like it was sloppily attached the E and T.
