Christina's Couture Wedding Dress Company


I chose black and white for my logo because I think black and white look very sharp and classy. My company is a high end custom dress company which needs to be seen as classy and upscale rather than just a common dress company. I chose the cursive because I looked on many other high end dress company sites and that seem to mainly use cursive as their font style. I added a logan below my company name to insure that customers knew that my dress company is a CUSTOM wedding dress company and that any picture they have in their head of a dress can come true as we work to make those dream dresses.  I also put the wedding dress in the picture so that when customers see the logo they know right away that it is a wedding dress company and don't mistake the company for just a clothing line or some other couture brand! Overall I really like how the logo turned out as I think it is easy to read and comprehend. I would definitely look into this brand of dresses if I were looking to buy a wedding dress!

Buffalo Sabres Calligramme

          I chose the Buffalo Sabres logo for my Caligramme because I grew up in Rochester, New York which is about an hour from Buffalo, New York. When I turned four years old, just like any other four year old I decided that I wanted to start playing a sport. Growing up in Western New York, hockey is a huge part of life so naturally as a little four year old girl, I decided to play ice hockey. Learning to skate took me about a year and by the age of five I finally was able to have a stick and start learning the game. I immediately fell in love with the sport and along with playing hockey I loved watching it. 
          We have an AHL team in Rochester called the Rochester Americans and they are the draft team for the Buffalo Sabres. Because of this I learned many of the players names in Rochester an then followed them through their career in the Buffalo Sabres. The best thing about the Sabres is that they bring me a feeling of home when I see them play. Watching their games reminds me of being home in my living room watching the game with my family and cheering for them. The other atmosphere they remind me of is going to the actual arena with all my friends and having the actual smell of the ice and roar of the arena all around you. I am excited for the Buffalo Sabres to travel down to play the Tampa Bay Lightening this year, and yes I will still be a Sabres fan even though i live in Tampa now. I could never change my love for the Buffalo Sabres, however I am willing to adopt a new Baseball team while I'm living in Tampa.

Logo Critique

I chose the Verizon logo because Verizon is a very successful company, meaning their logo is very well known. I would say the logos target audience is people any age from about ten years old to eighty years old. Verizon's target audience changes depending on the exact product they are trying to sell. The younger generation often wants the newest and best product, while the older generation, who is paying for the services want the company with the financially appealing plans. I believe the logo is very successful in reaching the audience because just about any person you talk to is able to recognise the Verizon logo. The colors and style are  very simple and easy to read. I also believe the check mark is a very positive and easy to understand symbol, checkmarks are always good and can be understood across many different language barriers.

The logo is very successful as a food chain. I would say the audience is drivers often because it is a fast food restaurant. Since it is fast food they want their logo to be well known and easily recognisable so that their restaurant is chosen over any other fast food restaurant and that the logo can be seen from far away. The color choices do a nice job of accentuating each other and being able to be seen from far away. I think they are successful because their logo is so easy to recognise and therefore people will stop without having to actually read the nam

e they just have to recognise the picture.

This logo is very successful as far as social media companies go. The log does not quite match the point of the social media site, honestly I'm not really sure where the logo or name of twitter came from, but it is pretty successful and I would say one of the most recognisable symbols of the current generation. Even my 85 year old grandma knows that when she sees that logo it is for "twitter". The color choices are very pretty and fun to look at and the block form of the bird is easy to see and simple which is very powerful for logos. I think this logo is so successful because it is so simple people all over are able to easily tell it is the twitter bird. 
The Starbucks logo is a very successful company. the name of Starbucks actually came from the book Moby Dick and was originally going to be named "The Pequat" after the boat in Starbucks, however Starbucks changed too Starbuck and the symbol looks kinda like how you picture Starbuck in the book. However the logo is very easy to recognise and can easily be seen when looking for your favorite coffee company. The colors green and black and white go ver well together and the detailing stands out with these changes of colors. This logo is very successful in reaching their audience morning workers can easily identify their favorite morning routine. 
This logo is very successful logo and foundation.Even if someone doesn't know what the World Wildlife Foundation is they would be able to recognise the panda and probably are aware that pandas are endangered species so it is pretty easy to understand what they stand for. The colors are very powerful as the black and white are easy to read and bold. I think they are so successful because their logo is bold and very powerful.

Mickey Mouse HTML 5 Project

For my Project I decided to create Mickey Mouse! I made this cartoon Mickey from memory and used mainly bezier curves! I think he turned out really well and I am very proud of this cartoon as my first ever attempt of a cartoon through HTML 5 code.

Here is the code I crated for Mickey:
//mickey big circle head
var centerx = 450;
var centery = 400;
var radius = 150;

//mickey right ear
var centerx1 = 600;
var centery1 = 260;
var radius1 = 90;

//mickey left ear
var centerx2 = 300;
var centery2 = 260;
var radius2 = 90;

//mickey top left face curve
var x = 450;
var y = 300;
var controlx = 400;
var controly = 220;
var controlx1 = 250;
var controly1 = 300;
var endx = 350;
var endy = 400

//mickey top right face curve
var x = 450;
var y = 300;
var controlx2 = 500;
var controly2 = 220;
var controlx3 = 650;
var controly3 = 300;
var endx1 = 550;
var endy1 = 400;

//mickey botom left face curve 
var x1 = 450;
var y1 = 580;
var controlx4 = 210 ;
var controly4 = 490;
var controlx5 = 210;
var controly5 = 350;
var endx2 = 350 ;
var endy2 = 400;

//Mickey bottom right face curve
var x1 = 450;
var y1 = 580;
var controlx6 = 670 ;
var controly6 = 490;
var controlx7 = 670;
var controly7 = 350;
var endx3 = 550 ;
var endy3 = 400;

//chin
var centerx3 = 450;
var centery3 = 520;
var radius3 = 80;

//mickey nose 
var centerx4 = 450;
var centery4 = 450;
var radius4 = 32;
