For this project, I decided to make a logo displaying Alpha Chi Omega’s philanthropy. Our philanthropy is domestic violence awareness. I thought it would be perfect to bring it to life for this project because October is domestic violence awareness month. I really love our philanthropy because domestic violence is a very large issue in our society today and it is something that does need attention brought to it. The design influence that inspired me was one of the illustrator tutorials we did last week. I liked the idea of having a circle involved because I feel it brings more attention to the main point I am trying to bring attention to in my logo. I also wanted to include the chapter name, Alpha Chi Omega, because that is the house that provides this philanthropy. The significance of the elements in my design are the words Domestic Violence Awareness, Alpha Chi Omega, and the color purple within everything because that is the color that represents domestic violence awareness. My design process began with me using the type tool on illustrator to write out Domestic Violence Awareness. The font I used for it was Ballpark Weiner, which I had gotten from doing the varsity lettering tutorial we did last week. I made the fill color a dark purple because since it is the words I wanted the most attention drawn to it. Then, I used the elipse tool to create the first oval around it. I made the stroke a bright purple color. Next, I copied the oval and made three bigger ones out of it. I filled the second one with a light purple for the background, so it could be the background of two of the circles. On the second oval, I held down the type button, then clicked the type on a path tool to write Alpha Chi Omega. I wanted the Alpha Chi Omega part on the side and smaller because I did not want as much attention for that aspect of it. I struggled with this a little bit in placing it in the correct spot I wanted it in. I just kept clicking in different areas of the circle until I finally found where I wanted it to go. I used the brush script MT italic font, then I made that the same purple as domestic violence awareness. I made the stroke points larger on the middle circle, then smaller and smaller for the outer circle to kind of give it an ombre effect. I really enjoy using illustrator and am happy with the outcome of my logo.
Hi there! My name is Stephanie Hilliard, but I go by Steph. I am a second year college student at Washington State University and I am majoring in Communications. I am a part of a sorority here on campus, Alpha Chi Omega. When I am not doing my schoolwork, doing things for the house is what typically takes up the rest of my time. The reason why I am starting this blog is to post the media content I am going to be creating for a course I am taking this semester, COM 210. I am excited to be taking this class and be recording it all in a blog, so then in the end I can look back and see all of the hard work I have put into this course throughout the semester. A little bit more about myself, some hobbies and interests I have revolve around health and wellness, as well as music. I love exercising, yoga, and eating right. I try to exercise every day because it always makes me feel good after. I am taking yoga this semester, which I am excited about because normally when I am up at school I do not have much time to do it, but now I will get the chance to twice a week! I also always try to eat healthy because when I am healthy I am happy ☺. The kind of music that I love is EDM (electric dance music). I love going to festivals with my friends, those are my favorite kinds of weekends. So there is a little bit about me, stay tuned for more!
