College and Career Fair

 Colleges I Investigated


Pace University

  • I liked that I got to get more information from them besides what I learned from the field trip I went on. I got information about computer science and how it is one of the mist popular majors and is offered at both campuses.
  • The tuition was around 50k a year which to me is a huge amount.
  • I'd like to live where I am now as it's only in the city so its not that bad. 

Cooper Union

  • I learned that they offer a computer science summer workshop that is paid that I liked and am actually interested in going to. 
  • For tuition I didn't ask as I didn't have much time and then forgot to ask later.
  • I'd like to live where I am now as it's only in the city so its not that bad. 

NYIT

  • I learned that it is a private school that offers computer science in New York City and that caught my attention.
  • For tuition it was about 40k which like pace, is quite a lot.
  • I'd like to live where I am now as it's only in the city so its not that bad. 
Those were the only colleges I was able to investigate as I was helping out with the event. The only other one I investigated was CUNY but it was all information that I already knew.

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.
