Identity Logo
For this project we were asked to create a personal logo that reveals our identity, in Adobe Illustrator. Whether it be through our name, nickname or interests, I chose a variety of things to make up my logo.
I started off with my nickname. My immediate family call me "Rat". So I used an image of a rat. I then thought I would play with the stereotype of the place for a woman is in the kitchen. I did this by making an abstract image combining the outline of the rat and black and white checks of a typical kitchen floor. As a caption I thought of my interests. I absolutely LOVE music. I wouldn't be able to exist without it. I also have a passion for old music, which I often don't like to admit! There's a song by a regga band, UB40 called "There's a rat in my kitchen". This caption went so well with my image and it shows my nicknames and my interest. I also made the caption text in pink to make it more feminine, as I would describe myself as being very feminine. The font I used is called "Indie Rock". Other than this being an aesthetically pleasing font, I also was attracted to the name as indie rock is my favourite music genre!
I will admit though, these aspects aren't obvious in my logo; they are subtle.

"I like to draw stuff sometimes..."
I learnt this technique while I was in high school, in grade 10. I really liked the finished effect, so I have carried on producing these "Word Drawings". Over the years of practice I have refined my technique and I am happier and happier with how they are turning out.
These works are better viewed from a distance as the words group together and create the image better from afar; close up the detail is lost slightly, but the viewer is able to read the words that I have used to make up the image. This effect is intentional.
This is my latest work. I produced it one an A2 size and I used a normal ball point pen.
