One of my favorite logo, that I own is the coco cola label.The coco cola label is very well designed because of its distinct, vibrant colors and incorporation of letters. It is a simple logo, but it catches the eye and makes you remember the brand even if you've only seen it for one second. It is a combination logo so it has both elements of design and writing so it makes it easier for viewers to remember the logo and company.The logo is extremely classic and cultured and symbolizes an iconic brand of America






from the best logo list, I found this veterinarian logo especially interesting because it was very creative. At first glance, the viewers see an outline of a dog and rabbit with very simple colors and designs, bu as the viewer looks deeper, they see that the dog and rabbit has a cat included in between. This image is strong and powerful because it allows for viewers to imagine other animals that could be taken care of in this organization and make themself aware of the power of this company.

Reflection:
the most frustrating aspect of this project was trying to make sure that when editing one layer, the other does not change. Because I am not adjusted to new technology, it is hard for me to understand so many new concepts. In addition, creating certain lines and curves were hard because they never came out perfect. Therefore, my symbol was simple and straight to the point. After completing the project I felt that I was most confident with the eraser and paint brush tool because those were the most simple concepts that allows me to use my own gestures other than computer generated. I wish I was better at using the layers tool because it is important in creating fluent transitions and ultimately a good gif. If i were to use photoshop again, I would want to create a brand symbol that expresses myself and my label through the art piece. It would be fun and an expressive way and could be used in real life.

I am interested in Hannah Hoch because . Although her art does seem to be computer generated, it can be clearly distinguished that they are graphic designs. Her art really captures the eye because it uses minimal colors and recycled paper but they compliment each other so well that it evokes a sense of happiness. She incorporates everyday images that we see on magazines and newspaper that look so complete together. Her art existed during the Weimer period before Hitler was elected. During the Weimer peiod, Germany was technologically superior compared to other countries. Her art reflects the modern art that the advanced country lead to. Hoch impacted graphic design today because her art was not only a form of aesthetic appeal, but also it presented an idea of political opinion. THis reminds us that graphic design should express emotions and perspective of our emotions.

Something that inspires me...

    My visit to the rural side of China inspired me to think beyond what I knew living in New York CIty. It inspired me to realize how big the world is. Being without technology, I began to realize how people can spend time creating real impacts for others. Because I did not have the ability to use the internet, I was forced to find ways to entertain myself. I went outside to explore new animals plants, and experienced a new culture. I couldnt believe that I could survive at first, but I actually enjoyed it more than my urban lifestyle back at home. Despite the mosquito bits, humidity, and bugs, I was inspired by the beauty of nature.
