Logos


FORM: I think the form and the shape of this logo is very simple, therefore really eye catching. You can take a look at it and immediately see what the name of the brand/company is.

LINE: The font is very round, just like the circle itself, which makes it go together very well.

CONTRAST: White always goes perfectly on black, it makes the text pop out, just like in the logo. There are no other colors used, just black and white. Making it, once again, very simple.

MEANING: The logo doesn't have a specific meaning as it is just the company name in a circle, and it has no features where you would have to really figure something out. It's just plain, simple, with the text.



FORM: The font isn't a stock font, which makes it very special and unique. The letters have been extended in order to create the beard shape.

LINE: The font has been made very curly and long to create a beard shape, and not just the extended parts are curled, but also the text itself has been curled making it very obvious that its a beard.

CONTRAST: The fact that it's black and white really makes the word BEARDS stand out and pop out. 

MEANING: The logo is really obvious and well thought out and used text and font in a really great way. The word 'BEARDS' represents the beard on the mans face giving it a very funny look. I feel like it was really hard to create this as you have to create or choose the perfect font to make those curves and really get the message across. 

FORM: The name of the website is the Verge, therefore they create this V shape. Though, this is also a very common shape, also known as the impossible triangle. 

LINE: The lines create a V and an impossible triangle. I believe it looks very artistic and unique.

CONTRAST: The colors in this logo are very bright, though, there's also grey, making it very subtle. The red represents the V of the word Verge.

MEANING: The website is based around technology, and I believe that it really fits the impossible triangle, as technology can be very complicated.

I chose this picture of Anna for leading looks, I have taken a lot of leading looks pictures of people where they're posing and where I have asked them to stand like that. This picture was a suden moment when she was looking at the pigeons on the big square and I captured the moment of her looking. I think that Sarah in the background does make the picture not as great, it kind of distract the viewer from the main object, in this case Anna. I believe the picture turned out really well and different from other leading look pictures. You can also see an expression on her face which I believe adds on to the photo itself.
This group photo was taken at the square when I was taken some picture for this class. I did ask them to pose for me instead of taking a sudden shot of a group of people, but nevertheless, I believe it turned out well. I think that the background doesn't provide too much distraction and it makes the viewer see the place and time they were at that specific spot. I believe that the picture itself turned out well. The group is not in the exactly middle, but we can of course fix that using some basic photoshop. I do believe that the bike on the right side does make the picture not as good as it could have been, it is the second thing you would look at after looking at the main subject, the group of the girls. I'm overal happy with the result of this picture. Though, I believe it could have been better in some aspects.
For my point of view picture I first did some research on the internet, I basically Googled, point of view photography, and I got a better understand of what it looks like. I did not have many POV photographs but I believe that this is by far the best one. I also love the dark colors in it, it reflects upon the city and the trip, I took this picture in a sudden movement when we headed towards the bus, I think the subject is well in focus and the not important part is blurry. I did take the picture at a 5" height and got close towards the wall to get the angle as good as possible.
I chose this picture of the close up with the flower for contrast, just because I think the color contrast between the green, bright red and the blurry background really plays upon on each other. Of course all teh attention is towards the flower itself, but it also makes you want to look a the background and the surroundings. At first when I took this picture I didn't know it would turn out this way. I'm not a big fan of nature photography because I find it quite boring and the same. But I just really like this picture, the fact that the main object, in this case, the flower is in focus really makes it a great picture in my opinion.
