Logo Reflectionsssss

1.  Answer the following questions and be specific and use design language:

• What was the most challenging aspect of creating your Logo design?

•  How did you overcome the challenge?

• What was the most successful aspect of your Logo design?

2.  Post your Logo image and an image of your Presentation Board. Tip: Take a screen shot of your presentation board since most of your projects are so large.Press SHIFT+COMMAND+4 - your mouse cursor will change and you can select the area you want to take a snap shot of your screen. The image will be on your desktop.Shift+Command+3 takes a photo of the entire screen.
And that's it!

1a. The most challenging aspect of creating the logo was using Illustrator. As a first time user, it was extremely difficult to use the pen tool which was the most essential tool needed for me to create my design. I had difficulties connecting lines and anchors. I couldn't seem to be able to get the lines to curve at the exact angle I wanted it. It was also hard to create a symmetrical design. Some areas on the left are more curvy than the ones on the right, so it took a long time trying to even things out. 

1b. I overcame the challenges by constantly playing around with Illustrator and trying new options and modes out. I stretched areas of my design and moved them around to get a feel of how the pen tool works. After a while, I began to understand the fundamental basis on how the pen tool works and it made creating the design much easier.

1c. The most successful aspect of my Logo design was probably my color choice. At first it was difficult to chose a color since Cooking Club is not really represented by a specific color and most of the colors didn't look good on the design. However later, I realize there was a gradient color option and played around with that. One of the example gradient scale was the orange and yellow blend which conveniently worked with my design quite well.
