Logos vs. Graffiti


This past month my Graphic Design class took a look at how closely associated graffiti art and logos really are. Both are used to brand one's name; whether it be an aspiring artist trying to get his name out there or a big company with an easily recognizable logo that everyone knows. Below is a list of how Logos and Graffiti are the same, and how each of their elements contradict one another.

Logos:
  • Usually for a company
  • Simplistic
  • Organized
  • Consumer based
  • Clean/Crisp

Graffiti:
  • Usually illegal
  • On walls, train carts, ect.
  • Not considered real art
  • Complex
  • Artist based

Both:
  • Colors
  • Thought provocative
  • Designs
  • Conveyed Message
  • Branding company's/artists name

About Me

Hello my name is Michael Zager and I am currently a Freshman at the University of Kansas. I am currently studying Visual Communications. Photography is one of my hobbies that I have picked up over the years. I have always been interested in photography because of my father but never knew the elements, principles, and how to compose a photo until a few years ago. Self taught, I have learned the basics of composition and the photography rules.

About e-Comm

The e-Communication program focuses on Animation, Video, Wed Design, and Graphic Design. The Graphic Design strand in the E-Communications program focuses on using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to create projects and do tutorials to further your knowledge in each program. Learning the basics of each Adobe program in the first year, then advancing your knowledge of each as you progress through your high school career gives us an advantage compared to other students going into the same college field as us. Animation focuses on the use of Maya to render images and videos created by students. The Video strand is broken up into two strands; Broadcasting and Entertainment. The Broadcast strand focuses on the use of developing skills in the broadcast field. Every few weeks they air a newscast called "ONW NOW" to show off their skills. Entertainment uses Final Cut Pro to make/edit various projects whether it be school wide or short films. Web Design, being self-explanatory, designs and codes html to make personal and professional websites for clients.
