Audio Draft

I actually do not have an audio draft at this time. This post is a placeholder, as i’ve had family problems spring up that have made my time for classwork in the last week very slim. I do have some ideas already, and have recorded sound (such as dogs barking at the shelter to add as a background sound.)

I plan to talk about adopting animals from shelters instead of going with pet store bred dogs, which probably come from accident breeding, or backyard breeders who don’t know what they are doing. I plan on using the dogs barking in the shelter in the background when talking about them being locked up there, waiting for a new home.

I’ll definitely have something done by the final, but I currently don’t have time to put out a draft to be talked about, and I doubt that you all would like to listen to a minute straight of dogs barking that I recorded on my phone, but i’ll upload it when I have the time to.

Audio Tutorials

Here are the tutorial files I was able to do. I don’t have three people I can interview at the moment for personal reasons, so I had to skip it. However, I’ve already done work in Sony Vegas and this interface was a lot like Sony Vegas’s interface for movie making, thus, I didn’t really have a problem doing anything.

Logo Project Final

For this topic, I decided to make a logo for a fake Animal Shelter that takes in any kind of animals, along with cross socializing animals when able to be done safely. This selection was to make it fit in well with my theme while still being different enough from other animal shelters that I know of the existence of.

I started off with making a couple small sketches of ideas, wanting to keep it simple without just copying the design ideas off of what we did the in tutorials.  While I didn’t really use anything we didn’t already do in the tutorials, I didn’t want to something that was directly based off of what was done in them, thus I decided to draft a logo somewhat like the Petco logo, where it has multiple animals (in this case, a cat, a dog, and a rat) cuddled up together. I’m not a great artist, so I tried my best to make them out of ellipses. I tried to make each animal visually contrasting through different heights, to make sure they weren’t blending into each other by not having enough difference between them. Essentially, I made it as simple as possible and just wanted to make sure everything looked different enough that you could distinctly tell what you were looking at.

In my draft I hadn’t added their tails, and originally had the text slightly behind the animals, not enough to make it in any way unreadable, but people seemed to not like it that way, which lead to me moving it out more to the side. Beyond that, not much has changed between the draft and the final, other than the addition of tails and a slight shift in the cat’s position. I didn’t end up changing their color like was also suggested, as I ended up not really liking any other color scheme than the one I had already picked.

Overall, I think my logo, like my graphic design project, didn’t need that much changed. I liked the text already, and didn’t need to do anything. I had no problems with the program, and managed to finish with no problems.

For this topic, I decided to make a logo for a fake Animal Shelter that takes in any kind of animals, along with cross socializing animals when able to be done safely. This fits in with my theme of animal rescue, and isn’t based off of any shelter that I currently know of.

However, I haven’t managed to finish the logo as I would have liked. I didn’t have the time to figure out how to make the tails, and thus had to leave them out now for now. I couldn’t get them to look how I wanted, ending up looking very odd. I still need to work on it.

Overall, the only thing that I used outside of my own creation is the text, which is already linked to at the top of the page. It is free to use in logos, so I was alright in my use of it. It does not say you have to give credit, but credit is below the image.

Logo Draft Sketch

Sorry about the blur, my phone camera is very poor. My idea for the logo project is a logo for an animal shelter and/or animal rescue. I created the name Unlikely Friends with my wife. The logo is essentially a kitten, a small dog, and a rat cuddled up close to each other, implying friendship between them. The idea is that the shelter would focus on caring for animals and teaching animals to be friendly to many other kinds of animals, to broaden their appeal for potential adopters.
