Poster

I am having problems uploading my poster draft. I have emailed it to Dr. Wilcox to see if she can post it for me. I have a busy weekend/week ahead so wanted to get a jump on it early. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Attached is the poster I am working on...I appreciate any thoughts you would have !

Thanks,
Kellie

Based on the feedback from last night, I have attached and updated logo!

My Logos








 OR










I used colors from the Infant and Toddler Connection of Virginia, and the graphic was inspired by the way fingers form the letter K in sign language.
Both images seem to have a different feel to me....your thoughts?
I used Sumo Paint to create the graphic, and Powerpoint to pull the logo together.

Web Activity 4


I tried to appeal to different kinds of learners, those that like text and those that like pictures.

Updated logo

Update: Here is my final logo! I like how the bold font looks like a wire.





Earlier version: I really like what I have so far. I incorporated a USB cable into the text. I'm going to play around with the text a bit more.

Activity 4

















I decided that adding arrows, some bright color, and visually representing the imbalance would enhance this image.

Web Activity 5

I changed my idea a bit because it was somewhat similar to Austin's so I took another shot at it. Let me know what you guys think.

Logo Draft


After playing around for a little while this is a draft of my logo. Graphic design is not my forte so feedback would be greatly appreciated and incorporated as possible. Thanks!

Web Activity Four


I decided to analyze and attempt to improve the current image. I thought the people in the original image where pretty cool and colorful but I decided to simplify them to make it more condensed and less chaotic. I also changed the concept of the 8 dollar boxes going to 2 people and 2 dollar boxes going to 8 people. I instead did an arrow pointing to a chart showing a green positive increase in sales and a red decrease and sales for each group of sales people.

Logo

Here is my logo, without words for now. I am designing my logo for ETMC Media Equipment Checkout. My goal is to publicize the wide range of media equipment available at my library. I used a SD card image for the logo, which is a piece of equipment we check out daily for our cameras. I used the smily face to show that we are a friendly place, and to give the SD card character. I am currently working on incorporating text into the image.

Web Activity 5

I used some text editing effects to make the facts look like burn holes and then the main statement to look smokey.

Web Activity 4

I kept the white background. I liked it and felt it gave it more of a clean look than to color the background and change the people while allowing the colors I chose to still contrast well against it. I used repetition with the 2 figures representing 20% I want the learner to focus attention on while allowing the other 8 figures (80%) to be a different color as well as in different poses/positions. The colors relate to the action to help with the visuals as well. I think this graphic is effective, yet I still feel something is missing to fully convey what I'm saying or that it is confusing in some way (it makes sense to me but I can't shake that feeling on it that it may confuse someone else). Any suggestions? Or am I just being overly picky?

Logo Design

From the options Dr. Wilcox provided, I chose to do my logo, poster and brochure on the Adult Degree Program. Upon looking up information on the department, it is pretty much what it sounds like: a way for adults to be able to finish their degrees around their own lives on their own schedules and it does not have to be in a specialized field of study. That being said, I felt the more important points were to focus on the misc factors that come with being an adult in the program, rather than just the academic aspects of the program. ADP stands for Adult Degree Program, however I made part of the letter "P" into a clock to symbolize perhaps a typical learner in the program and their schedule, the importance of time etc. Instead of numbers, the 12, 3, 6, 9 are silhouettes of a bust of J. Maddy ( to rep JMU), a baby (to symbolize family), a briefcase (to rep a working individual) and finally graduation, which we all hope they will do. I embossed the images and letters, and also made the hands of the clock gold to tie in our JMU colors. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Judy Rannow Updates Logos

Here are some new logos based on feedback. I changed the font and added some with a curved company name. Thoughts welcome.

Web Activity 5


I thought I would try something a little different and see how it turns out. I don't think it came out that badly. Let me know what you think.

Web Activity 5 - Helen


Graduate Student Colloquium Draft

The CFI, where I work, Is trying to create a Graduate Student Colloquium. This event would be similar to the May Symposium and January Symposium events offered to faculty in the winter and spring. I tried to format the Graduate Student Colloquium logo's similar to the May & January Symposium Logos. I have included them so you can compare and offer comments. This logo would be published in a webpage as well as a brochure format.






HRD logo draft



Just a draft of one of my Ideas for Human Resources. Any suggestions for HRD font and for left page of the book?




Judy Rannow Web Activity 5

Here is a draft for Web Activity 5. Let me know what you think.

Judy Rannow Web Activity 4



These are my first drafts for web activity 4 (Pareto's 80/20 rule). I decided to create a new visual instead of re-working the example. I tried to keep the design simple by eliminating extraneous information. The colors are bold and contrast nicely. The white font stands out against the bold colors. I also used different font sizes to emphasize certain words.

Other versions - Helen

I've tried out a couple of different fonts; made the lines of the mountains thicker in one version; and added the graphic with the evergreen tree/wheelchair. (fhwa.dot.gov) Thanks for your feedback.









Hello! Attached are Web Activities 4 and 5! I've attached to visuals for Web Activity 4.

First Draft Logo Helen


I'm trying to come up with a logo for our local chapter of the Company's Disabilities employee resource group. This logo attempts to associate our location with our group. I am open to any and all ideas.
