My Version

The project that we have been working on and just finished was remaking a logo in a way that we like better. I chose the Adidas logo, and the Billboard logo. Professor Speyers told us to chose one that we related to and understood what the logo represented. He also told us to go simple on the logo, and not much as many graphics in the logo, because some companies want a simple logo.

When I started the Adidas logo, I remembered that Adidas represents soccer a lot, so I decided to incorporate soccer into the logo. I chose to put a soccer player underneath the Adidas logo and he is kicking the a as if it was a soccer ball.

When I started the Billboard logo, I wanted to incorporate music into the logo, because Billboard is the top music of the week music company. Billboard puts the top music of the week onto the radio and goes through out the radio stations. I wanted to make this logo the simple one so all I did was put a music symbol at the end, replacing the d at the end of the logo.

Powerpoint Presentation

Last week our assignment in class was to complete a power point presentation. My power point was on The History of Animation on Computers. It was very interesting to learn about how computers have impacted animation through out the years.

The most interesting thing I learned while doing my power point was Gertie the Dinosaur. Gertie was the first cartoon animation that was drawn and made through a computer. Before doing this project my favorite cartoon characters were the ones from Rocket Power, on Nick TV. Since doing this project I now love Gertie.

I also learned about the different movies that have changed animation through out history, and I can say this was the only power point presentation I have ever done in school that I actually enjoyed doing.
