Image & Text in Visual Arts Second Assignment

I am super pleased with this logo. Again starting from my main base of the mannequin head and using her in a different way, I wanted to create a graphic vector image. A logo, but not a simple black and white that you see all the time.

This was actually very difficult for me because I have never done anything like this before. Well I have tried but they always came out wrong and not what I really envisioned. I even posted this on my Instagram because I was so pleased with it.

I wanted to just have a simple white background because I was thinking of the accent color font I wanted to use example for the photo-manipulations. I played with the curves of the base mannequin to get rid of the texture and detail of the original image, so it was just white. Although you could not just simply erase it out because I wanted to keep some of the texture from the neck and hair.

I applied a cutout filter since it seems to be my favorite, followed by a brush tool, opacity low and a pink glow color. I used the better together font that I have used to showcase Bowdacious Designs.

I took note from the Bowdacious Nails flyers to keep it simple and not write so many things, I mainly do photo-manipulations so I picked a nice accent font.

Originally the photo was not tapered at the bottom, so I went with an edgy slanted line to draw an ending point of the design and now that I look at it, it is opposite the way the bow slants so it works out well for balance purposes.

I actually then put this photo on my phone and used the pixlr app that I use for my photos and I added this filter that made the pink in the original logo pop out from the simple black and white logo with the light pink tint I have added to it.

The Hudson Valley Inn Logos & Business Card

NEW NEW NEW When thinking about the design concepts for The Hudson Valley in, I did take into consideration for the scenery it provided for city dwellers. Although I still wanted to give it a classy cozy type feel also. I kept a color scheme of black and red, I figured a dark red would be a nice contrast to the black but also pleasing to the eye and also easy to read. I know a typical business card is horizontal, but when putting everything together, I felt as though my designs looked better in the a vertical manor. Plus I believe it gives it more of a personal touch. I made sure to have the back of the business card readable and neat, all a business card needs is basic information, and in this case information of the restaurant manager. I also made it a little authentic by having Maines actually zip code. I also added a personal touch and added a filter to the card as a hold, like a card stock with some light ridges.

Preliminary Work for Main Project Part One

I have had some experience with making signs. Though those signs were for L.E.D.S. I sketched out a few for the main hotel logo as well as for the upscale restaurants and bar. I took it upon my own creativity considering there is no such thing as The Hudson Valley Inn. It left open to one owns interpretation of what the names and styles of the hotel would be and have. I did however, keep in considering the feel that was mention about a scenic escape for city dwellers, but still keeping it classy but with a cozy like feel.

But yet it is still very appealing to the eye and is very interesting and for most never really been seen before. I guess you could say it is like a puzzle and that is some what I was going for. Yes the design is dark and the color schemes will reflect such. Purple background, with red tongue, brown pieces for the faces and hair. Here are my design sketches:
