Today we explored different graphic tools. We looked into powerpoint and how to make it more fun and attractive. I already feel very confident with this tool and how to customize it. I learned how to create logos by combining different shapes and similar colours. We talked about how if we save it as a .png file it will save the exact shape, not the whole picture with the white backdrop which is something I have been trying to figure out for a while. Smart art can be used as a quick inspiration or customized and brought out of powerpoint to be used elsewhere. We can incorporate a photo and block out words that can be removed to be an interactive piece.
We were challenged to:
- create a header image for our porfolio
- create graphics for our porfolio
- experiment with images from power point, combine graphics, and smartart
- experiment with other tools such as pixels or vector
during this time I played around with some shapes, colours, and formats to create a logo for my porfolio that could be used for a signature or header:

Cool logo! I always love to see how people represent themselves through graphic design
