do you want to design like Barbara Kruger?

Well, please, look no further than the online graphics standards manual that tells you how to design like Barbara Kruger. Seriously?? 

Unfortunately yes. Design Like Barbara gives you tips on how to create designs in the same activist style as Barbara. From which photographs to use, to how to implement color and typeface, it's all laid out right here. Take a peek!


Also, I found an interesting standards manual for NASA. It's a completely different site from the normal NASA site, but  has all the necessary information for various effects and placements of the logo. How to use them correctly, and examples of badly used NASA logos.

Revised Logo Design!

Hello all.

So, I was working in class today, and as everyone else seems to be doing as well, having problems with incorporating the logo and make it one unit. So, I took out some of the elements I had before, and really went towards a direction that I think I can apply to my other documents and products that I will be creating later on.

What do you all think?? I would love some comments on these before I turn them in on Wednesday.

Thanks much!!
Audrey

P.S. Here is an image of the logo I showed in class that was working the best.

Thanks for the great critique!!!

So, had a good time in class today talking about possibilities for my logo. I have decided to go back to one of my previous ideas and really spend some time making it render correctly on the screen. I also got some great suggestions from my group about directions to pursue to relate more towards my audience. An earthworm and a slug were suggested. Who would have thought?!?!

Well, I'll keep you posted! (no pun intended...)

Having some Creative Stumbles...

Well, I guess we'll see in class tomorrow, but I just cannot come up with a design for my logo that I am happy with. I'll give you guys a couple that I like the best, but really, they could be so much more interesting. I'm hoping to get some good feedback in class tomorrow morning and hopefully get these things looking a little more like what I would want for my program.

So, obviously they need some work. Well, let's hope I can come up with something better this weekend. Thanks!!
