For the first project in type 3, we are having to create a logotype brand for ourselves. I wanted to find a way to properly describe who I am as a person, a passionate yet dedicated person who still can be professional in the time of need. These were my solutions.

Name Contrast
For my first assignment in type 3, I was asked of to create a contrast between my first and last name. Using only type and the option of changing the opacity of the color black. Through this assignment, I was able to have some fun results, whereas other results led to a more classic look.
Icons on a Eco-Friendly Society
One of my favorite projects this semester was the chance to create my own logos for a society I had no prior information about. This was a group assignment that created an eco-friendly activist society. I was able to learn and create logos that would reflect certain aspects that a society would encounter.
Through the project I learned the importance of simplicity and the scaling of an object. In realizing that certain objects did not remain the same, logos showed me a new outlook on design.

This was my final project for my type 2 class this semester. We were all given our own topics and were required to do research and create a flyer with hierarchy and the required specs.

Romeo & Juliet Book Sleeve
This project was to recreate the classic written by William Shakespeare; Romeo and Juliet. We were given the ability to choose our own theme and re-create it to our ability. I had chose to follow the dark secrets that are within the story itself to inspire my idea.

Classmates EPortfolios’
To start off I do like certain aspects of each and every one of my classmates portfolios. Yet there are certain things I do not like as well. Every person has their own perspective on things and what they like and dislike. This was a difficult process for me to decide which two classmates profile I would write about.
One of my favorites was Jessica Hernandez’s EPortfolio
https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/jhernandez24-eportfolio/
Jessica’s portfolio is very professional, simple and direct. Her work features not only what she has done in class but her personal work as well. Her page does offer a whole different approach than the “About Me” kind of approach.
Another one of my favorites was from Diana Young
https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/dyoung-eportfolio/
Again like Jessica, Diana’s EPortfolio is very simple yet offers who she is as a person. Her main photo is of hands reaching upwards with different colors. It gives me the idea that Diana is a woman who reaches for her goals through many different approaches with a very unique result everytime.
Music Inspiration
Every person has their own way inspiration hits them. Most of the time I get my inspiration from nature, yet there are times I do get my inspiration from music. Music gives me this feeling of flowing, lose, relaxed and a constant rhythm to write. Yet there are some songs that do allow my creativity to run wild and allow me to expand my design thoughts.
A couple of my favorite songs are listed below with the link!
Bruno Mars- Just the Way You Are
Coldplay- Clocks
Cascada- Everytime We Touch
Zedd- Clarity
Usher ft Romeo- Promise
Aventura- Solo Por Un Beso
Lifehouse- You and Me
My Texture
Hey guys! So this assignment we were supposed to create 10 textures in our design journal. I felt that this one was my favorite one because of the way it is an actual texture not something that was implied. However, now it is after taking the photo. I feel that this texture would be most useful in a history type of website. It could be tinted and used as a background of their website. The added texture creates a feeling of something vintage (with age that is old). With added color I feel that this texture could translate into other backgrounds.
