After Effect: My logo

AllK.Win&NooD.Loss logo from LEI TANG on Vimeo.

It is easy to say, I want to be a part of a beginning of the movie with their logo, the effect is quite satisfactory. In the production process, I really did not think too much, just follow the steps to go, I have actually limited to a self AE creative ability, I still have a lot to learn, in order to better the future to extend their skills, I that after the road is difficult to walk. During this time I AE learning more found their own lack of animation has also too dependent on other people's ideas, so I'm going to see the work of others more, learn more, so they have a qualitative improvement.

       “Gold” font in my class, I spent a long time to do, at last made a recommendation nick of animation, the animation is very simple pattern, mainly by the advent of a part, form the final picture this animation is very simple, in fact, I want to do a better work, but it is limited, so the effect is not satisfactory to finalize, I think I need more time to learn how to make the concept of animation and effects.

Analogue Communique 3D Lesson 3

      According to the content of a lesson, I probably finished my work, but a light font is very simple, which makes me have a new idea, add some new elements, such as paper, or the background or the like. I found some black cardboard, hair cut these papers so that they bend to form a golden style, so that we can better to let people know the meaning of the word. nick gave me a lot of advice, such as new materials, to replace the white background wooden background. Also, I deliberately cut a label stuck on the font, the font so that the above additional fused to the following explanation, nick for my following fonts do some evaluation, he thought I should re-do those newly added section he felt that these fonts, you should let others misunderstood the meaning, should be changed to allow others to see clear fonts section, I also found the process of doing a tag is too large, not very consistent with the expression of the font, so I change the outside of the font, but also produced a new label, there is a white pen to write on a word. The work I was very satisfied, nick gave me a lot of help, give me find a lot of material, and ultimately let me finish this satisfying work.

My pattern design 2

eye

 This pattern is designed in the previous manuscript to be improved, beginning only draw an eye, it blooms into a flower,, painting drawing eyes to a lot of tattoo work, with simple lines, and before the works, I like to add a new element on the manuscript, such as a dotted line, a circle, and the halo effect, so the work is more complete. In fact, during the most important idea is that I will try to add some new elements, feeling bad go modifications. I am in the process of every change, and will have a new idea, the reason for such a creation is complete will take some time to continue to improve and modify, and I in the creative process learned a lot.

My logo design 2

Edwin

      Edwin is my English name, I really like to do something about the name of self-design, this was a long time ago when I painted manuscripts, manuscript paintings will be some time is difficult to link the balance between the letters, I learned to creative thinking in many American graffiti works, I soon finished manuscript. But I want to make this look like a logo, so put him into the AI do, my first thought is to do exactly the same picture of the feeling, but then felt the picture is too simple, I just try to do a blur effect, the overall feeling will be much better, the picture does not look so empty also followed.

LEI TANG

LEI TANG is my Chinese name, each of these is very simple font has a lot of vertical lines, so I thought that I wanted to better myself these vertical lines together, so when the vertical composition longer pull, highlighting the advantages of vertical lines. Another point is that a lot of horizontal line, I just put all the horizontal lines are reduced, so that the font looks more slender. Finally found the time to look at the word put together feels too long, so that the two letters staggered, one last look, I'm in the middle of a new straight line, so that a more complete picture. Finally, there is the shaded part of the frame, so probably completed the logo design.
