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.
