 Orthogonal cubes 

The orthogonal cube is a cube that is given the effect of a 3-demensional shape that is only 2-demensional. We learned how to make this in class, and used our skills to create more of them in the courtyard. You can use the cubes for logos, and pictures. 
It was fun getting to work with the other classes to try and create a mass number of cubes, and other shapes. Now that I know how to make them, I should be able to use them on other logos, and in the business world. 
For my personal logo, I chose orange because it's a mix of red and yellow. So it mixes the emotions of optimism, hope, motivation and positivity.

The upward facing triangle symbolizes upward motion, stability and soft edges.
The right pointing triangle symbolizes progression, moving forward, and future.
The downward triangle symbolizes caution, danger and dangerous objects ahead. The left facing triangle symbolizes regression, and decreasing power.

I chose the font of apple chancery because it had the long tails on the letters, and it was a built in italic that made me think that it was very fancy. If I had chosen a times new roman font, it would have been boring, and my audience wouldn't want to look at what my logo says.

color analysis

Companies use colors to trigger  a list of emotions. Red is used to show energy, passion, action, violence, and even fire. Blue is used to show peace, calmness, and loyalty. Green is used to show freshness, growth, nature, and self reliance. Yellow is intellect, optimism and cheer, impatience, and cowardice.   When companies choose their logo colors, they want to trigger a certain emotion with a certain audience. Their goal is to get people to look at their logos, and want to go into that shop, or restaurant, or whatever it may be.
