My Team Logo

The Greek God Aphrodite- Female swimming team

The Floating silk- I have create the hair with a silky feel texture to show as the beauty of Aphrodite and the wave of water.

Dolphin Lady- Dolphin is one of the symbol that represent Aphrodite, therefore, I have used the outline of dolphin and text to represent the youth female swimming team. 

Different versions of Elegant Wave- I have used the wave symbol to create the Letter E of these logo to show the movement of water.

Concept Evaluation

Stuart McLachlan (Australia)

http://www.picturepig.com/Stuart%20McLachlan.html

Apart from illustrations, Stuart McLachlan has used paper styling techniques to produce most of his current design. From the French Film 2009 Festival poster, it's clearly shown the use of colours and compositions have became one of the main elements used in this design; he has used the French man as the hierarchy and foreground of this design by creating a sense of movement and solid colours of red, blue, black and white to attract audience's attention.  


Stuart McLachlan has used different graphics to represent the concept for this design. He has created a background of french architecture and the colours of French (red, blue and white) on the scarf is also representing the colour of French's flag. The Illustration had also shown that the man is also sitting on a director's chair and this represent the theme of this poster. I think this is a successful design of Stuart McLachlan where he has used strong graphics to represent the theme of this poster in a simple and easiest way for audience to understand.

Trends and Designers

Design Trend 1- Typography


From the AGIDEAS conference, I have found that some designers use typography as the main element of their designs.

Ken Miki (Japan)

From the AGIDEAS conference, Ken have shown us a great amount of designs that were create with types, he has used simple elements with types to create the hierarchy for most of his design and these show the expression and message in each piece. He has also used simple design elements such as line and colour of black and white show the text. Composition and space is also an important element that was used to the highlight the message in each design.

Apart from computers editing, they have handmade most of their design with paper, cardboards and photographic such as the Fringe billboard and the logo; for this they have used different size of blocks to put each letter together just like a Pixel Artwork.

Most of the speakers from AGIDEA has suggest us to keep our design as simple as possible.
