Yesterday and Today in class I worked on making these logo replicas. I made these all in Adobe Illustrator only, only using the originals as reference pictures. I am very pleased with how they came out. The UNIVISION and McDonalds ones are great. I am surprised at how well the golden arches came out. The JEEP one is good, but noticeably wrong. The TABASCO one is decent, and it would take a long time to improve. Creating perfectly curved text is very hard to do.

Today we spent some time out of the classroom researching font families. We went around and got pictures of various fonts around the campus. Then I labeled them with their font families. Soon we will have to make our own font family book.
This project was a lot of fun, and I learned a surprising amount from it. I've never looked around the campus and really payed attention to the various fonts in use. For example, i've never noticed how good looking the font they used for the Trojans logo is. I really like slab serif fonts when they are used correctly. Today i finished my drink label, as seen above. I had a lot of fun on this project. The best part was learning how to use layer masks with many layers. For example, the palm trees above were part of a bigger picture, but I had to mask them out and then resize them to fit the label correctly. Overall, i am very happy with the final project.
