Vector Graphics Tuned In Logo

Here above are logos specifically for this blog, Tuned In, made by me using a program called Method Draw. It is a bit more of a simple program, compared to other ones I have seen, but it worked well for this assignment. My first image is of a heart and headphones; the whole meaning to my blog is to offer information on what effect music can have on people, physically and mentally. Thus, the heart represents how music can emotionally effect us, and the music is represented through the headphones. As for the other logo, it is a little more verbal, and a little more to decipher. Between two mirrored Alto clef symbols (one of the clefs used to symbolize for notes and key) is the initials of my blog title, Tuned In. Again, this is to be more direct with the logo, but the initials along with the intricate design of the clef, it seems more elegant and more attractive. I like this one better than the other, but the emotional meaning of what my blog represents is not truly displayed in this logo.

Textorizer Photos

The three top photos are my original pictures taken, and the three lower photos are edited through the program Textorizer. The first photo is of me and my mother when we had gone up north for the weekend to go exploring local attractions, and it was an amazing time. This photo I altered in Textorizer 1, using many words overlapping each other but still conveying a message. I found this to be the most difficult out of the three edits, because I had to get it just right to read some of the words, but see what the image is. The faces are a little hard to see, but the art of it is not to be completely perfect like the original. The second image is the star of my photo inspiration-- my dog Zeus. This photo is an already black and white representation of him sitting and looking over the lake, where we live. The edited image is the Excoffizer version of this, and it is a good chose, because it does make the viewer feel as if their eyes are "vibrating" while looking at it, especially up close. Lastly, my third photo is also of Zeus, but a up-close portrait type. I chose to edit this in Textorizer 2, overlapping the photo with words and sayings describing the photo. In this case, I chose to use a saying to describe the great things about dogs and their love and loyalty. Overall, I really liked using this program, but it was still difficult for me to find the best image to use to be seen and understood by the viewer. I hope you enjoy!

Tagxedo Photo

This is a photo of me transformed in the Tagxedo application, which use words as the figure or shape you choose. I always liked the portraits used with their words describing them or what they are representing. So, I decided I wanted to choose words that I would like to describe myself or something that I would like to be. However, I found this program to be quite frustrating to use when choosing a picture as well as editing it enough to be fully recognizable when the words just fill the shape. Also, I wish there had been more options to use to possibly make it more personalized for every picture. Never the less, I am quite proud of this image, for I think it was executed successfully. I hope you enjoy!
