Assignment 2 CG 2! E- WALLPAPER!!



So in this second assignment, we have to design an MMU Open day e-wallpaper.

I decided to come up with a very simple design, using a lot of white spaces.

The photos/files that I used are all taken from the internet:





I made a gradient for the background and add a texture in the layer option.



Then I cut the paperman and the sticky notes picture using magic wand and paste it to the canvas. I also resized it with free transform tool


Then I started putting some texts to add the information. I changed the layer style as I needed. I used outer glow, bevel and emboss, and color overlay :


Then I put MMU logo, Mascot and TM logo to show that it is an MMU event.

So here is the final output:



Thank you..!!

Assignment 1 CG 2! FACE!!

So we had to edit the given pictures and turn it into a very creative face.
Here are the pics:
So, I decided to create a face of a happy and funny chef with a very catchy mustache.

I used the coconut as the main head, I rotated a little with free transform, then changed the color balance so it will look more like actual skin.

Then I continue with the top first. I cut the mushroom with Lasso tool, rotate it, then move it to the top of the head, so there is the hat.

Next, I used the vegetable as his hair. I copied and mirror it so it made the full hair.

I copied the kiwi and put it on the edge of the head to make the ears. I change the hue and saturation. I also rotate it to fit it with the head.

Then I use the guava as the nose and change the color balance to make it nicer.

I copied the "tie look a like" thing and put it just below the nose to make the mustache, then i changed the hue and saturation to make it more realistic.

I cut the sliced orange using lasso tool then rotate it and use it as his mouth. again, i changed the color balance to adjust the color.

last but not least, I added the eyes by using ellipse tools.

finally, I use the blur tool to make the line blurred so the line between objects become blurred.

Then, Here is the end product!


Thanks!!

PS:

tools used:
  • Select tool
  • Lasso tool
  • Magic wand
  • moving tool
  • blur
  • Ellipse tools
  • and many adjustment on colors

THE REPSOL INDONESIA!


Thats it!

See you in the next assignment!

THE MAKING (FINISHED)!

So started my new logo by making the black background since I have a white color in the logo. So I used Rectangle Tool to cover the background with Black color.
Layer1.jpeg

The second step was, I placed a BATIK picture and create an Oval shape by using Ellipse Tool.

and then, still in layer 2, I mixed the picture and the oval by doing Clipping Mask.

Next I put the Red block by using Rectangle Tool.
layer3.jpeg

I did the same to the second block but this time its White.

The last part was to type the name "REPSOL" by using Type Tool.

So it is DONE!
The Indonesian Repsol!

THE SKETCH!


So I am ready with the sketch of the new REPSOL logo.
Here you go:

Legend:
A : It was originally ORANGE at the top and RED at the bottom. But I chose to fill it with BATIK to add some of my country culture.
B : In the original logo, it is ORANGE. But I change it to RED in order to add more Indonesian effect to the logo.
C : This block is originally WHITE. And I keep it white so it match the upper block so it will be RED and WHITE.
D : It is the name of its company so I won't do much editing on this. Just keep it as it is.

That is all of my sketch and plan, hopefully I could make it in the Ai.

Sayonara!

THE LOGO HAS BEEN CHOSEN!


And the lucky one is...........

Yeah! I chose REPSOL to redesign!

NEXT...!! My sketch of the NEW REPSOL!

Assignment 1 - Redesigning a Logo

So this is the first Assignment of Computer Graphic 1 for me.
Basically we have to redesign any INTERNATIONAL LOGO and put some of our LOCAL CULTURE in it.

The requirements are:


1) Ideation must first be drawn. In other words, you are to draw your idea on paper first prior doing it in Illustrator. The process of ideation to final output must be documented on a blog or web log that all students must create.

2) The logo should be made out of shapes only. It should be based on a known international logo. No text, no human or animals symbols. Just plain shapes.You need not follow the original shape of the original logo. You can change it just as long they have meaning in the local context.

However, you are NOT allowed to change the name of the original company. For example, if you choose Burger King logo, you can change the Shape and colour to fit local culture but you cannot change the name of the company to Raja Burger.

3) The logo should be in colour. The colour should have meaning to the logo based on local culture and local meaning.

4) Size of the symbol – A4

6) Printout the symbol and mount it on an A3 mounting board.

7) The other side of the mounting board must contain a write-up page. The write-up page must contain - the title of the logo, the meaning of the logo in local or cultural context, the meaning of the shape and the meaning of the colour and the relation to what the company represents.

8) Include your name, ID and group at the back of the mounting board.

That is it for the description.

See you in the next post.
