My Name Logo

    In this project we were assigned to create a logo that resembled our personalities. We started by learning about the meaning of different shapes, fonts and colors then sketched rough drafts on a piece of paper. Once we had a general idea of what we wanted, we opened up illustrator to make our logos come to life. Tools we used were the shape tool,  a variety of fonts and different colors. 

    A difficult part of this assignment was trying to decide what fonts I wanted to represent my personality. Also trying to get all my initials to line up with each other. I addressed these by finding colors that represented my personality like purple and gold. Purple is very girly and the color of royalty so gold went very well with purple. Next time I would try to download new fonts if possible and make the outside stroke thicker.

Why Color Matters!

When designing logos or advertisements for a company a huge aspect to the design is the color. Many companies choose the color to relate to what they're selling or organizing. Many restaurants that serve hot food will opt with a warm color like red, yellow or orange. Companies that work with the environment tend to use blue and greens.

Red- energy, love, health, anger
Green- balanced, growth, environment, envy
Blue- trust, peace, loyalty, technology
Black- hidden, mystery, spooky, unknown
White- pure, innocent, whole, perfection
Purple- imagination, creativity, immature, individual 
Yellow- optimistic, cheerful, coward, intelligence 
Orange- positive, enthusiastic, adventure, warm 
Brown- friendly, serious, dirt, comfort

My Personality Type

ESFJ's are very happy and cooperative people. We love to help others with what they need to accomplish and come up with new ideas. We enjoy to spend time with others and spending time with others doesn't drain our energy. When a situation comes up we like to stick to the facts and what we know to solve the problem, but when we have to make a personal decision we trust our feelings. We tend to judge people and instead of being more open about them. Selena Gomez shares this personality type.

 My personality type describes me very well. I am very outgoing and like it when there is harmony. I am trustworthy and loyal. It makes sense that I follow through even with the small things. Knowing these things about my personality makes me understand why I get stressed out when things are not in harmony. Also why I tend to go to activities that involve people.  

When part of a team I tend to fill which ever role will help to accomplish our goal. I am able to step up and lead the group or am able to go along with other people's ideas. I still like to earn credit for which ever role I play though. Some people might misunderstand our need for harmony in the environment and wanting to be appreciated for what we do. Knowing that I am an extravert helps me understand why I struggle to understand introverts who don't like to be involved in school activities or parties. Also introverts may think I'm a little obnoxious because I'm very talkative and loud.
