We were asked to create symbols that represent who we are or want to be . We had to make an animal symbol, tool symbol ,person symbol and a flower symbol. We were allowed to use two colors as well as black and white . As a graphic designer I learn different skills and in this project I realized you need a blueprint of
your ideas and your characteristics . I used pen,and gradient which are tools from Illustrator.The colors I used for my symbols was pink ,grey, black and white. My animal symbol was first then my flower symbol was second because I kinda had an Idea for these two tasks. My animal symbol is a white puppy that has spiky hair and one ear is black and the
other is grey like a DALMATIAN. My flower symbol is a blossom with pink peddles and blackish stars in the middle. My person symbol wasn't really
a person it was a dog's head with a white doctors coat and black pinkish converse, my favorite. My tool symbol is a stethoscope with a life line wire and a heart in the middle and it's gray, black and white.
A
symbol is a thing that represents or stands for something else, esp. a
material object representing something abstract.The process of figuring out what I was going to do was simple Finding things I love to do in life and personal
experiences to define my personal identity with my symbols. I took my future career being a vet and a present flower that
represents the after life in japan an animal that I was close to a dog name Milo and a tool that can hear a special instrument your heart.
Finding an animal symbol was easy for me because I love dogs which is a major part of my life. I had at least 6 dogs in my life and all
left a footprint in memory and heart. I made the dog white because my
dog Precious is white and she has a cute black nose. My flower symbol
was also simple I remembered watching this documentary on Japan called
Tsunami& Cherry Blossoms it broke my heart and gave me a bigger
meaning of this beautiful flower. The pain
they had suffered in the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and tsunami was unimaginable. The crazy part was that it struck before the beginning of the cherry blossom season. since I'm going to be a
veterinarian, collaborating that into my person symbol was pretty easy. The heart is the most interesting body part including its sound so I
used a stethoscope because you can hear the heart Beat of person
and an animal clear.The colors I chose were based on the colors I felt mixed well
with all the designs.
the 4 symbol Project was
fun and exciting for me Because I put my personality in my art and
explored my mined in many ways. In Graphic Design I realized that I
could continue my art in a second job. I'm very familiar with the software their wasn't
anything hard or new for me, only pathfinder . I learned that if I stick to something and
take my time it will become great and better then expected. It was easy
to pick the symbols but picking colors for all four symbols was
difficult since they were different. My problem was changing the background and using pathfinder since this was the first time I used it.
Well
using the layers was the most important part in this project you needed a
lot of layers for you to move or change the symbols features. This is something I
would use in real life take each layer of any math problem or physics to
get the right answer. Therapeutics used the layer Idea in finding cures
it takes time and effort and movement to find the right ingredients to
get a cure to anything just like a math problem.
