Self Insertion...Hubby & I in Paris France!

The image I had chosen to use was of my husband and myself and the background pic is of Paris France. We will be taking a trip there this upcoming spring to celebrate our 16 year wedding anniversary so I figured this would be a perfect picture to use.

Complex Vector Illustration--STRENGTH


I decided to try an image of First Lady Michelle Obama. When I think of the First Lady, I automatically think of strength. She is the epitome of that and so much more and serves as a great inspiration. I  uploaded a pic of my image as well as the original to show comparison.

Exquisite Corpse

Having trouble uploading my image for some odd reason. It is only showing the torso and hips not the head and legs. I actually had taken a pic with my phone to verify I did complete the project. Was able to email the image from my phone so I can upload it to my blog. I think I know what the problem is as to why the image itself didn't not upload properly. But nonetheless, I don't have anymore energy to try and correct it because I am beyond tired.

Shoe Logo

So excited I was able to complete this project without pulling my hair out. The only problem I ran into was not being able to shrink the edges of the extra space to resize it. Other than that, I can honestly say I had fun with this project once I calmed my nerves and stayed optimistic:-) Here is the logo for my business SOLEfully Yours!

Company Logos

When we see the Nike add we are automatically reminded of the JUST DO IT slogan. In my opinion, this was the best logo Nike could have ever come up with. It is a simple check mark which some of us relate to being good or accomplishing good things from a grade school perspective. The color and background is simple yet profound.



The Baby Phat logo is one well known to not only the urban community but to anyone who has followed the fashion line of Kimora Lee Simmons. This is another example of a simple yet profound logo. When I see the cat in the logo, I instantly think of the femininity and the sleekness of a woman which in my opinion is the message Kimora Lee is trying to convey in regards to her clothing line.

United Way is a company that has been around for quite some time and the logo it uses is quite self explanatory. The image of the hand holding a person exemplifies the help United Way gives to those who are in need. Could another image be used to convey the message "always lending a helping hand?", probably so, but it probably would not be as effective as the current logo.
 
This is one of my most favorite stores ever and the whomever came up with the logo did a superb job. The name of the store and the logo are so well fitting and again, very self explanatory. When we think of a Target, we automatically think of a bullseye and their use of colors to create the logo is an attention getter as well.
 
The Dodge Ram is a logo which is full of strength. The meaning of ram is not only a male sheep but it also means to drive or force, and in my opinion Dodge exemplified both these meanings with this logo for thier product. The Dodge Ram is a truck of strength and is able to be utilized for vigorous work.

Calligram

My calligram is of an ankh which simply means prosperity or the key of life. The words I chose to use to form the picture was live, laugh, love.
