Fundamentals Of Design by Daniel Van-Dien

  My favorite design is the Brush Script MT Italic (Design 12) because it looks the cleanest and I like how the type flows with each letter. I like that design because it reminds me of a paintbrush that flowed across a canvas.

  For my designs I wanted them to feel silly and look full of air in a way. I thought that to make it mix and match I would change the type for each letter. The type changes in 2 and 3 I feel are the most accurate to the pencil roughs which I like. The last one Cartoon Chaos seems very childish which was the goal but the type wasn't what I wanted, it is close to the pencil rough though. I like that they turned out close to the pencil roughs.

My logo roughs were designed to look unique and special. They were given lots of curves and some were inflated. The designs were meant to look as fluid as possible, flowing in any direction. My favorite has to be the first S.A.N.D that I drew because of the Swan like S. The inspiration for the Kadi Ent. was my middle name Kadima and the joy I get from entertaining people. Cartoon Chaos is taken from my love of saturday morning cartoons. B.O.B.O means Be the one Better than Others because I feel that everyone should want to be better in anything they love.

1. B.O.B.O This brand mean Be the One Better than Others. I thought of it since I feel like people should always strive to be the best in whatever they like. 2. Kadi Entertainment I thought of this because my middle name is Kadima and I like to entertain people. 3. S.A.N.D I thought of this because of a meme that just popped into my head. 3. DK Debris I thought of this because my first and middle initial is DK and I just thought of something for a cleaning company. 4. DK Designs I thought about this name because we are in a class for graphic design. 5. D&Co I thought about this because it was something I took inspo from a classmate. 6. Cartoony Chaos This came to mind since I enjoy Saturday morning cartoons. 7. Daniel's Dinner I was thinking of a restaurant in my name. 8. Daniel's Drinks I thought about a drink brand after myself. 9. DVD  I thought about this because my full initials are DVD. 10. Daniel Van-Dien I thought this because my full name is this.

 1.Lauren Hom- https://www.homsweethom.com/work This site attracts me because of the way it feels so comforting. The look of it is like a warm cozy home in a way. The colors are warm and the designs are interesting. I like the way the letters pop on some of the designs and the objects are nice. 2. Craig Black-  https://craig.black/ THis site was attracting to me because the designs felt different. Off of the first look alone it had a very distinct feeling to it. The colors flow on everything and it looks like a river of colors. It reminds me of paint dripping down a wall. I like how distinct the designs are and how they look. 3.

      For my senior year I plan on focusing on what I want to do after I graduate. I want to pursue either plumbing or electrician. I am not interested in pursuing a college education since its not something I see fit for myself. To stay on track with my goals I plan on doing even better than I have in any of my years in high school by staying on top of all my work to the best I can if not better.  I want to do plumbing or electrician because  I want to have a career that can help me provide for myself and my family. Alongside that goal is to get a cat for myself because I'm not allowed to have one with my grandma and my mom doesn't really like pets like that. I want to better myself physically and mentally before graduation, not sure how I would do that but it is something I want to achieve. I also want to try to get to know more of the school staff through other people or by myself. My goals aren't exactly refined but that is my plan to do so this year and to ...

  - did your logo do well in the ad? I think my logo did well in the ad because I had taken ideas from real life like scattering stars all over the keyboard and adding planets. - did your brand research help in the making of this ad? I think my brand research didn't help because I didn't reference it while making the ad. I  - do you see your brand values in the ad? I do see my brand values in the ad, I can see it in the design of the keyboard and in the slogan. - would you change your logo now? I wouldn't change my logo because it differentiates my brand from others and it separates my style from competitors.
