Evaluation for Assignment

Google Design

To finish off my Google logo I did the following:

Tennis player with tennis ball
and text next to him.

• Inserted the words "London Olympics 2012" next to the tennis player in the same colour. 
• Put a tiny little tennis ball in next to the tennis player a used the Ink Outlines filter to modify it so that I had used a filter in my design.

Challenges:

One of the most difficult things to do was to find an appropriate brush so that I could make the sweat look as realistic as possible. But once I found a good brush I was able accurately represent sweat of athletes working hard. 

Another challenge was trying not to edit the athlete silhouettes without them becoming so pixelated that it looks bad.

What the brush turned out like.

The end result

Likes and Dislikes:

The thing that I really like about my Google logo is the sweat because it looks so realistic that it is believable that it is sweat. There is nothing about thins Google logo that I dislike like because I have done everything to the best of my ability. 

Modifications to be
conducted:

I don't have any regrets about this Google logo and there is nothing I would change because I believe that this would look good if it was displayed on Google's page during the Olympics. I think that it is the simpleness of this that makes it attract your attention.       

Coke Billboard

The things that I did to put the finishing touches on my coke billboard included:

The font on my
Coke bottle.

• Cutting out each individual letter from existing names on "share a Coke bottles and putting it onto my Coke bottle.
• I changed the background to the sun rising over the horizon of the earth instead of a moon because it more attractive to the eye.
• I had to use a filter so I selected the sun rising over the earth and used the Accented Edges filter to change it so it looked a bit better and so that I had used a filter in my design.
• Then all I had to do was put it on to my bill board that I found (which was originally twice as long so I had to shorten it to fit my billboard.
• The last thing I did was add "thank you for sharing" down the bottom of the billboard in the corner and to add text effects I added a yellow/gold glow around the writing to match the sun rise.

Before and After.

The sun rise after I used the filter
and the "thank you for sharing" 
slogan with glow added. 

Challenges: 

One of the major challenges in making this was find the right "Share a Coke" font because the only place that I could find a clear and readable text was on cokes Facebook page. What I had to do was take a screen shot of the letter that I wanted and open it in Photoshop. Then I selected the letter with magic wand tool and the magic select tool. Then I made a new layer with the selection still and coloured it in. this gave me a clear letter to work with because it was all the same colour.

Likes and Dislikes: 

The end result 

I like everything about this billboard that I have made for coke and there is absolutely nothing that I would change and I am very proud of what I was able to achieve.

if I was to do this project a second time I would not change anything because I think that I’ve done this to the best of my ability and there is nothing that I can think of that I would want to change.
