LetterHead:
The letterhead I made for my company basically just goes along with the brochure and business card theme. I have the logo across the top, which hopefully will be recognizable to customers. Then I put all my information once again on the bottom just in case someone needs to contact me.


Business Card:
My business card has a front and back side to it to make it a little easier to read. The front is simply the logo, and the back gives all the general information needed to contact me. I used the same color scheme from my brochure to create a recognizable company.


Brochure:
The business I have created is a Party Planning company. The colors I chose to use on the brochure are pink, black, and white. I made this decision because it reflects a fun and bright party. The pictures I used show my "customers" having a great time, smiling, and enjoying the party my business has planned. I have put all my information on the back for any potential customer to contact me easily.

Custom Graphic

The Man on the Moon


The graphic I chose to design is of the night sky. I created a brush of a man fishing off the moon to make the graphic more fun and entertaining. I also used one of the preset brushes in photoshop to create a better view of the greater stars in the sky.

Final Logo

This is the logo I have created for my new Bar & Grill Restaurant. The reasons why I chose to use the colors red and black is because they are both extremely bold and stand out from far away distances. The race car flag behind the text catches the eye and resembles the idea of a "bar". I put the name "Eaton's" in bold because it is the main name of the bar and it shows that it is a family owned business.

Caligramme

Here is my Caligramme!


I created a sun out of the words sun because I figured it was simple and easy to see. I decided to create a sun because I love the warm weather it brings and it is a strong symbol in my life.

5 logos

Creative Logos


I picked the McDonalds Logo because anyone around the world would know what this M stands for. People are so used to seeing this logo, therefore the name doesn't even need to be shown. The logo is simple and doesn't cause confusion to the human eye.


The Starbucks Coffee logo is very abstract with the mermaid in the middle, but it is also a very popular one. Starbucks Coffee is one of the most famous coffee places around the world. The mermaid on this logo is an eye catcher and will always refer to Starbucks. 


I choose the UPS logo because it is a known logo throughout the United States. We see trucks all over with this logo and we all know exactly what it stands for, United Parcel Service. It is simple and the contrast between brown and yellow works very well together. 


The Lego logo is well known, especially by children. This logo was designed smart. The colors used allow people to look because it's bright and catchy. Not too much is going on which is good because you don't want a logo to be to chaotic. 

I would say the Chipotle Mexican Grill logo is a little to much. Although this logo is well known, there are a lot of letters which can cause confusion. Keeping a logo as simple as posible is the right way to create a design.

Organized Mess

Hello everyone my name is Kayla! I'm from Annapolis, Maryland (naptown) and I am majoring in Allied Health (Physical Therapy). I was placed in this digital arts class because I am a freshman and didn't get to pick, but I hope to learn a lot from it! I feel it will be interesting to discover the different programs computers today have to offer! I know nothing but the basics so this class will be a good opportunity for me to learn. The reason why I titled my blog "organized mess" is because that is how I would describe myself to someone. I am a organized person when it comes to my daily procedures, but I am always stressed from the busy life I hold. I know we are going to have a great semester together and I am excited to spend it with you guys!
