Self Portrait: If you were an App. (10 points for Completion)
Pull out your cellphone and take a look at what the "logo" looks like for each App you have. Who designed these? That's right! Graphic Designers! Part of a designers job is to take a lot of information about a product and company and interpret how that should look in one bold image that will catch someones eye and at the same time give the customer an idea as to what that App can do. What are some features you notice about the App logos?
This is a Warm-Up assignment to get you thinking like a designer. You will be doing a self portrait, but instead of drawing a picture of what you look like, you are going to interpret yourself as an App logo. Think about all of the things that make you unique, special, different. What stands out about you? Now think about these things as images or symbols. Now combine them all together and simplify. You may need to pick and choose certain things that are the strongest parts of you and leave out less important things. Also think about colors. I would stick with just a few. Should you add shading?
This is a good practice for when we tackle Logos as a later assignment.
