Collage



My collage was fun to make. It represents how time keeps moving, and sometimes I think "Where are you going, I just got here!" So the John Mayer quote seemed to fit this thought well. I am supposed to look like I am saying to the train "where are you going?"

Magazine Cover




Here is my magazine cover. I names it "Catch a WAVE" like "catch a break." It was fun to do. I used my image (the background), the Surfboard is exported, as well as the "Roxy" symbol.

Photoshop Demo




This project was a fun in-class assignment. I combined a picture of me in Hawaii with another picture of a turtle on a beach. I extracted myself from the picture and added it onto the other picture, then followed by blurring and erasing to make it look like a part of the picture.

HTML5






For my HTML5 project, I started with drawing on the graph my basic picture. Once I drew my basic picture, I added the background and the little things like the presents and the window. It was a challenge but once i got the hang of it, it was fun.

Vector



Since I wasn't in class when we went over this, and the profesor just got the videos uploaded, I just finished this. The shadows under her neck are her baby rolls, as well as on her arms. Since she is a baby, she doesn't have much lining on her face and her cheeks are still a little naturally rosy. Her hair is light brown with even lighter brown pieces running through it.

Logo Design

long with a description of your reasons behind your design, color choices and ideas.  Also make sure to post your sketches, reference images and anything else that shows your design process.

My Logo is called "Waxy Boards," a company for anyone looking to buy/sell/rent a surfboard. If you do buy/rent a board from us, we provide the wax for the board and each time you come in with a certificate you bought the board from us, we will reward you with a free wax and any discounted wax after that. 
My color choices were cool colors, mostly blues because of the activity being in the ocean. 
My design process was working from the background, up. 




5 Logo Critics


  • The old Penn State University logo, the mascot of their school on the shield like shape was so small that you couldn't see anything but the "Penn State." The intent of the mascot was to show it, and it wasn't achieving that goal.  
  • The shading in LG life's good logo is very dull and not very bold. Whenever I see if I sort of look past it and don't recognize it. 
  • The Busy Bee logo is very busy, it seems like it has a lot going on. When I look at it, I'm drawn to so many different parts I don't know what to look at first. 
  • Green Care Landscapers, their name does not really match their colors or really come off as a landscaping company 
  • Hercules Gym & Fitness logo is very dull, the shading makes the logo as a whole almost blend in together.

Logo Ideas





1.         Have an animal or dog shelter for adoption where we take in strays and homeless dogs. I had an idea to put a picture of a dog as the ‘O” in the name, “ADOPT”
2.         Waxy Surfboards- A company that rents and sells surf boards. (Wax is a necessity when surfing) I would incorporate a burning candle and waves in the name of the company.
3.         “Pick your shade”- a tanning lotion company where the person using this product gets to turn a knob and pick the shade they desire to become. I would include an umbrella as the top of the bottle to get the lotion out of the bottle, like a cap, and then have shades of tan around the bottle.
4.         Coffee- to have a coffee company called “Coffee” and have a cup at the bottom middle of the world and make the “f’s” to be steam from the hot coffee cup.
5.         “Drownin’ Diabetes”- A coffee company (like dunkin donuts) caked “Drownin’ Diabetes” referencing that DD puts very little coffee in their cup of creamer and sugar. I had the idea to put the logo similar to DD.

All about me!


Hi, my name is Mariah Melber. I am majoring in nursing because I love helping others and being involved with the well being of others. I love surfing and being at the beach. My friends and family mean EVERYTHING to me and I LOVE spending time with them. I am a firm believer in enjoying your life, and not letting daily routines take everyday, precious times and people for granted. By taking this class, I expect to have an excellent understanding of digital arts and to expand my skills with digital arts as well.
