TASK 3: Mastery Journal Reflection

The critiques I received were explaining that I was using too many details in my designs. I think that this is valuable information and when I finish my final designs I am definitely going to try and put less details into all of my designs. I think that reiterating the designs and then applying what I have been told about my designs will help me on my way to Mastery.

Before I started working on my sketches I researched all of the three options for where we were going to be drawing our logos for. I decided on Marrakesh Morocco. I chose this place because, of the style and color. I think that the place shows a part of my spirit. Anyway, after looking at different pictures I had to think about what culture meant to me. I started to draw and it seemed as if their culture was being shown. As, I got further along more and more ideas popped into my head, some of which were not culture. So, I had to think about what I was drawing and the other two options. If I had an idea that was of the other two options I would write it down or draw a sketch somewhere else for me to use later.

While working on traditions I wanted to make sure that I could portray images of their traditions. I had to start thinking about what types of things would be considered traditions. I thought about food, clothing and other things that would be considered traditions. Upon drawing I noticed that in culture I had some drawings that could be considered traditional or even history. I had to really think about what I was drawing at this point to determine if the drawing could be for two or all of the three sections. After figuring all of that out I would continue to draw and finally finished traditions.

As I moved on to history the final section of the three. I pretty much had a system down and was working off of the other two as I created some of these. I also, had to do some more research of course and some of the original ideas I came up with were coins and local flags. Eventually, I finished all of them and I think that in the end I presented Marrakesh Morocco fairly well.
