For this project I decided to create a volleyball because since I am the Equipment Manager for the volleyball team, I thought it would be very fitting that I used a volleyball for my logo since that is what I’m dealing with on a daily basis. The “research” I did was just look at the thing I look at every day and then I figured it was a good thing to use since it’s the main piece of equipment that I deal with. My design process was very difficult because it just did not look how I expected it to, I used the pen tool to draw the lines of the ball and the ellipse tool to make my circle, but to fill in the volleyball I ended up using the paint tool which I don’t really like how it came out so I’m going to keep playing around with it to see if I can find something better (if anyone has any suggestions let me know).
So working for Illustrator for what I wanted to do was really hard because I felt like dealing with Illustrator is really difficult. I really think I need to clean up my lines around the ball and between the colors because I think they look very sloppy and it could look nicer. Another thing that I think I could work on is really fixing the text because I was rushing to finish it because I was just so over working on it because it was really taking up a lot of my time to have to color in all the spaces. I think my idea is really strong but could be executed better so I am planning to work on it so that it looks neater and better.
