What does the client want? TEDXUWCSEA (Criteria 1 Specification)

Here are the requirements for the TEDXUWCSEA logo’s we created:

“Reflect the purpose of TEDx and the usage of communication as a medium of peace building.”

  • The “X” should be present in the logo, big and visible
  • The date of the event (January 20th)
  • Somewhere our event ‘TEDxUWCSEA_East’ must be present

 

I think that I need a really good job because I feel that I was able to incorporate all the different requests from the client. I feel that I did reflect the purpose of TEDX by on top of the TEDX I used one of their logos which obviously reflects their mission. I did the same for UWC by using there logo with the name and to combine them I wrote piece by piece and had a person made out of puzzle pieces to show that every little piece of education and learning can make a difference.

Here is my final logo design for reference 🙂

Attempt One #1 Design Tech TedXUWCSEA

While creating my TedXUWCSEA logo for the first time, I was using my older laptop and it crashed halfway through and deleted all my work. Below are the screenshots I managed to recover. If you look at my final design logo, some of the work I had started had inspired my final. Having all my work deleted was very difficult because a lot of the small edits that take a lot of time are the things that had been deleted. I managed to persevere and move on and make another logo that in my personal opinion was a huge improvement.

DP TEDXUWCSEA Process of Creation

 

Tell us specifically how research helped this process, and which links you think you need to explore/return to in order to continue with your design

I think it really helped me to look up and try to understand what TEDx’s aim is. I think I need to return to some of the tutorials and look at how they make effective logos because so far mine is a very basic idea.

What was the most complicated thing you taught yourself to do? How did you achieve it?

The most complicated thing that I taught myself to do today is to fill an image with a different color than it originally was on pages. This was actually a lot harder for me than I thought, and as you can see from the screenshots i had to look it up and ask some friends.

Right now, what do you think your design says about both TEDx and the theme Peace by Piece?

Right now, my logo is more about UWC and TEDx and its shared missions to educate and inspire ideas in people. Next class I am going to work on trying to aim is closer to Peace by Piece.

PROCESS:

As you can see my initial ideas are completely different then what I have now. Although some of those screenshots are different because of my computer crashing, I also completely transformed my initial design into what it is now.
