Learning Success Week 7

This week we mostly talked about Crests, Logos, and Monograms. I searched up the definition for 'family crest' on Google and the definition that i received was, "A crest is a component of an heraldic display, so called because it stands on top of a helmet, as the crest of a jay stands on the bird's head" but in my own definition i would describe a crest as a symbolic piece that represents your family's story or history."A symbol or other small design adopted by an organisation to identify its products, uniform, vehicles, etc: "the Olympic logo" this is the definition that i received off of Google when i looked up the word "Logo". Monogram to me is just a combination of two or more letters almost portraying an image with just those letters. 

I added this picture to my blog because i wanted to show the Logo's that are well known to me. The "Poly Movement" is basically a joining of the different polynesian islands to work together without any conflict whatsoever. The "TokoUso" logo that is on the hoodie that Chris Brown is wearing is basically another movement it's the joining of the Tongans and the Samoans. Back then the Tongans and the Samoans always had conflicts with one another and even to this day there are still many conflicts going around between Samoans and Tongans. The TokoUso logo is supposed to represent the collaboration of them, everyone basically started knowing about the TokoUso movement when a Polynesian artist came out with his album "The Poly Tape" which was one of the only albums that involved both the Tongans and the Samoans collaborating together to make music. 

The pictures on the left are just some Monograms that i created using Photoshop. On all three of them i kept the letter F the same because i liked the way that it looked and because the F was the first letter that i experimented on using the 3D tool. Making monograms on photoshop seemed to be easier than drawing them with pen and string. I found the string activity difficult because i wasn't able to get it the way that i wanted to but just left it as it was. Even though my string drawing of the monogram didn't come out as i had hoped i still had fun working on it, i find making objects a little more entertaining and challenging then drawing sometimes.
