Honor Proposal My Honor Project that I will be doing for myself is that I would be doing is a design project were I will be creating a new Youtube Banner, Logo, and Outro for my channel. For creating a new banner and logo, I will be using Adobe Illustrator because it's easier for me to draw as much as I want. I'm also going to use Premiere Pro to create my new outro for my videos . I'm creating these design for myself because Digital Media has always interest me and was hoping to increase my creativity and being able to use Adobe Softwares to know which one is my most strong point, and possibly being able to turn it into a job or just a hobby on the side.
Reflection Paper The reason I chose to do a logo and a banner because I felt like my old versions were difficult to read and that I’ve improved greatly from when I made them. The old logo and banner was kind of all over the place and didn’t really fit the theme on what I really wanted, it didn’t fit right together and kinda looked like a mess. So, by doing this as my personal honors project I’m able to get feedback from others and able to be satisfied with the final product. The problems or challenges that I had to face while making this project was trying to get Illustrator to download on my Windows 10 due to it keep on asking me to update my system for Illustrator to work. Also what I wanted to do for my logo because although the banner was a bit difficult to do, I didn’t know what exactly on what I wanted my logo to be. I had a few sketches with multiple wolf heads or just the name of my channel that it was kind of overwhelming. So, I stepped back a bit and re-look at all of the design choices that I have made which landed me on doing the wolf head with the circles. This fits into my overall development in digital media because I wasn’t really pushing myself out of my own comfort zone to learn more about the program. I just what I was taught, didn’t either bother to step out was too scared to. Until now, I stepped out and did something that was not taught in the classroom and instead from YouTube teaching me how to do a certain task. Personal assessment including what I would have done differently was to make a drop shadow on the text more to the text and cherry blossom flower and petal would be more see able to the eye. Also possibly have chosen a different color for the circle so the wolf would be more see able as well. Other than that I think that I’m very satisfied with how to final product turned out. What I have learned during the making of this project is to mainly be organized. The organization is what’s going to help in the future to have a smoother timeline on how I want everything to work out. Although yes, this did take me a few days to make, I felt like it would have been easier to do so I don’t feel like I’m in such a rush to finish before the deadline. Overall the stress of remembering a huge project that’s going to be due, I do very much enjoy and is very satisfied with my logo and banner for my channel.
