Makenna's great blog

 The project: I used adobe Illustrator to create this project. I first typed out my name in a large font and create lines to show the Cap height, X-height, and Baseline. I then labeled 10 different parts of the type anatomy in my name. What I learned: I learned many new things about using text in a design. To stay consistent, I copied the small text and moved it to make sure they were all the same size and font. I also learned what many of the parts of different fonts were.

Logo Color Schemes Analogous Subway uses the analogous colors of green and yellow. They probably chose these colors because they resemble being fresh. McDonalds uses the analogous colors of red and orange.The company probably chose these colors because they are warm, like their hot food, along with the color red makes people hungry. Complementary   Krispy Kreme uses the complementary colors of red and green. They choose these so possibly the words on the top would stand out behind the background. Fire fox uses the complementary colors blue and orange to make the fox stand out, and like the name implies, the bright orange color of the fox resembles fire. Warm Tostitos uses the warm colors of yellow, red, and orange in there logo because it may give off the feeling of a warm and happy party environment. Pringles uses the warm colors of red and yellow to also give out the party environment, so people will be more likely.

Project: I started this project using adobe illustrator. I used new acsessories such as the selection tool, rectangle tool, and art board tool. After creating all of the shapes of he wheel and coloring them in order, starting with Primary colors, secondary colors, then tershiary colors. What I Learned: I had never used adobe illustrator before so everything in the process was new for me. I learned how to use many new tools and shortcuts. Also, I learned how to scale and take up the full imagine of the design, cutting off extra sides. I learned how to caption and move headings in order for the wheel to look good. How it went: The project went well for me. I learned lots of new tools. I would copy and move shapes next time I do this just so it is easy for all of them to be the same size. Overall I feel happy with the product.
