OBDF 210A - ASSIGNMENT [03.1) INNITIALS LOGO: CONCEPT GENERATION] - Jayden (Gillian) Nese



The first thing I started out with in terms of generating concepts was making a number of basic shapes and trying to visualize how to fill them, although a good idea, my execution was sorely lacking and it was only after I began to look at various logo examples that I thought to potentially do an animal. I adore fantasy and one symbol I felt could work well was a unicorn, both as a nod to the genre and a personal aspect considering as a kid I loved them, something I have only recently even begin to reconcile with.

OBDF 210A - ASSIGNMENT [01.) CASTLE] - Jayden (Gillian) Nese

  For my castle I decided to make a candy cake inspired off of the candy kingdom from Adventure Time. I got the idea because while playing around with moving shapes in class I put a ball on top of a cone and thought it would be fun to go in a more playful direction for the project. I'm rather bad at geometric shapes and creating mechanical designs such as architecture in a way that looks like it makes sense in the world so letting myself have an easier introduction to 3D modeling felt far less scary.  I think I was most successful in the smaller assets that I created for this project, things like the popsicles and chocolate bar all came out really well, though my weakest point I find is the icing as it doesn't look all that convincing as a colored tube rather than having that organic cresting proper piping does. As much as I wanted to implement this, I'm still learning and am very new and had no idea where to start otherwise. The biggest struggle for me was simply the learn...

  The biggest challenge I had with this project came from the fourth shape and the sixth shape, I struggled with the arc tool a lot and I still think I'm figuring it out, though the last shape I had a problem with the offset tool thinking I needed to select the circles as well, it was a bit of a silly realization when I found out it wasn't asking for that. Getting help from my classmates was my saving grace.

OBDF 210A - ASSIGNMENT [03.2) INNITIALS LOGO: CONCEPT GENERATION] - Jayden (Gillian) Nese

  I decided on these two thumbnails, and though I wish I had time to recreate them both, I had to settle for only one and chose the slightly simpler design as my biggest struggle in Rhino is still using the arc tool. My workspace is often quite a mess as seen here, constant guidelines and measurements as I refine the design and work on making everything visually even, wanting a much more graphic approach than my usual much more organic work. Overall I'm honestly very happy with how the final came out and actually wish to potentially use it as my legitimate logo on my portfolio, though one issue I do take with it is the visual complexity by the thigh compared to the simpler chest and neck area, making the thickness and composition a little unbalanced.
