Internet Still Life FINAL

This is my final project for the Internet Still Life assignment. I like the idea that the plane is flying in the sky and toward the sun so that is why I chose this background.  The colors worked well with the other two images as well because the blue being used on the left is one of my favorite colors so it is behind the object I love (soccer ball) and the yellow is kind of a mustard color which I am not really a fan of so it is behind the books that I don't enjoy reading.

Poster Description

I chose Breaking Bad because I started watching the show and became a big fan of it immediately.  The series ended right around when I was starting my poster project so I figured it would be a good topic to pursue.  I started with the photo in the background of the RV from the beginning of the show and then put the title in.  I wanted to make the main focus the two main characters so I put them front and center in front of their RV.  I also incorporated a few other characters in the top to fill some empty sky.  The periodic table was fitting because they were using chemistry throughout the show so I thought it would bring a new element to the poster.  All the fonts are a bit broken up, which is a theme for the show and it's introduction.

MTV Logo Design

The logo I chose to edit was the MTV Logo.  When I looked it up on Google Images, I found that most of their logos included the text "Music Television" underneath it.  I think that adding the design with the speaker and microphone lets the audience know what the "M" stands for, and therefore gives them the ability to take away the text.  Everyone knows the logo nowadays because of how famous MTV has become, so I don't think there's really any need for the text anyway.

Logo Design ideas

When it comes to the MTV logo, it is very well known around the globe.  After searching the different images on google, the logo almost always includes the words "Music Television" underneath it. Personally, I think it would look nice getting rid of the words and adding a speaker into the large open space on the left side of the "M" to imply that it stands for music.

The Gillette logo is pretty plain and doesn't really show what the company is trying to sell.  Obviously they are well known and it has worked out for them thus far, but the idea of changing one of the "L's" into a razor or maybe putting a razor between the space inside of the "L's" seems like a pretty good idea.  Although this is not all they sell, the logo will be more detailed to show the reader what types of products they are producing.

The Cannon company could make use of the space inside the "A" or the "O" by putting a camera or the lens of a camera to portray what type of product they are looking to sell.  It would be better to keep it simple so it showed up the way it looks at a normal size on one of their products using smaller font.

Duracell could look to do the same type of thing as Gillette by putting a battery inside the U or replacing the "L's" with a couple batteries.  They also might consider using one of their bigger batteries to represent both "L's" since they are next to each other.

What do you hope to learn from taking this class?
I hope to learn how to make a creative and elaborate design that many viewers will be impressed by.  I also hope to learn more about computers and how the different hardware and software materials that I'm not familiar with work.

 I have read and understand the course policies outlined in the syllabus for this class. (sign by typing your name and the date below):
