This assignment required us to creatively match 24 crayons to the colors we found in the world around us. Each crayon was captured in a photograph in which the background or object represented that certain color. Throughout the project, I overcame several challenges such as finding particular shades of the crayons we were given. For example, searching for tertiary colors including blue-violet, blue-green, violet-red, yellow-green, yellow-orange, and red-orange was difficult since these are one-of-a-kind colors. In addition, creatively placing the crayons and taking the pictures with a unique angle was tough. However, finding primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) as well as secondary colors (purple, orange, and green) was easy. Also, it was simple to insert my brand logo in each of my pictures and edit them on Adobe Fireworks.
Emily’s Brand Logo
This is my brand logo I created with Adobe Fireworks. It includes my initials, EB, in bold letters. In addition, it is formed into the shape of a camera. I designed the camera by using basic shapes and lines. I only used the colors black and white, purposely making my logo simple so that it is more memorable. The camera lens is in the center of the two letters and the shutter button is above the E (toward the left). It is important to use a brand logo in order to prevent plagiarism. If you don’t protect your photos, image theft is more likely to occur. Others can copy your work while claiming it as their own, without receiving proper permission from the photographer or providing an appropriate citation. Therefore, brand logos allow the effects of plagiarism in photography to be minimized.
