Descriprion

This logo is of a fake publishing company called “Bryce’s Classic Comix”. Within this company, I would make comics aimed at younger children, in a style similar to “Peanuts” or “Garfield”. I wanted to imitate the style of a child drawing in a notebook, so I designed the background to look like lined paper and put tape on the corners. The orange in the letters are light to look innocent and welcoming.

Reflection

One problem I had was deciding if I should have the bottom of the letters touch the blue lines, or if those lines should be seen in front of the letters. Something I wanted to do was fill in the letters to appear like a child drew in them. This process was different from a typical writing assignment because it enabled me to be more creative. I was able to bring in my personal interests and hobbies into the assignment, and I appreciated that opportunity.
