Logo V1.0

As you see I made the sun the centre of the logo. This is the most important part. It refers to solaria, and the sun is also in the centre of the solar system. To show that we at solaria design are adventures people i added the waves and mountains, this shows our love for exploring the unknown. I showed this logo to an expert and he told me that it is a clean but effective logo. But he found it a bit too much because of the icon in big as well as in the name. And with the first version of the logo, when you read the text you read “solaria find your spark design”. But it should be “Solaria Design”, “Find your spark”.

For the solaria logo i should look at how i position the slogan with the name, otherwise it isn't that readable. For the icon, i dont have to put it everywere only on the full logo is enough, the "o" of solaria doesn't have to be a icon. I also should keep the logo on a blue background.

Logo V2.0

After I got this feedback I made a few changes to the design of this logo and it came out like this. I changed the O, i removed the icon, then i put design text in the middle and moved the slogan to the bottom of the logo.

Brand Guide

For the brand guide one of the group members made the First Version of the brand guide then we asked feedback on this. Created the second version where the feedback is incorporated. The first version was created in adobe express; my group member made the brand guide on vertical document.

Feedback

We asked for feedback from dirk and told us that he liked the design but that we should make the brand guide in adobe InDesign to keep the logo on the same position in every page. He also had the idea to make the brand guide horizontally because this would go better with our design style.

On the First iteration of the brand guide, I made dirks ideas come to life with adobe InDesign, it works great for making a sort of template (parent pages) to keep the consistency in every page. For this I also added the Logo do's and don'ts.

Iteration & Final

For this Feedback dirk Told me to make the do's and don'ts of the logo’s clearer. He told me for example to add red crosses to make it clear that the user really should not use those. So I added the red crosses and made the do's and don'ts more clear in the Second/final iteration.

Portfolio

Next, I chose colours for my website. Picking the right colours is important because they can make people feel different things when they look at my work. Here you see the colors I picked and why i picked them.

Passion Project

For the passion project I made a 3d model of a low poly character. I made this character in blender. For the whole model i made the body and the clothes. I also tried to do the UV mapping but this didn't go easy. I documented the process of creating the 3d model Here

Passion Project Reflection

The Passion Project was an opportunity to explore 3D modeling with Blender by creating a low-poly character model as proof of learning. Starting with no prior experience, I followed tutorials and sought additional resources online to learn the fundamentals and resolve challenges like crafting realistic facial features and refining animation-friendly limbs.

The creative process involved designing clothes and accessories that gave the character a unique personality. While UV mapping for the body was successful, creating maps for the apparel proved difficult and required restarting, emphasizing the need for patience and planning.

Feedback played a important role in improving my work, from refining the model's topoligy to optimizing UV mapping techniques. This experience taught me the importance of precision, and collaboration. Moving forward, I aim to improve my skills in UV mapping and animation while spening more time to improve my projects.

Overall, the Passion Project was a rewarding experience that blended creativity, technical learning, and problem-solving, helping me grow as a 3D modeler.
