Basic Trainings

January 29, 2021 By Miguel Yapur

AI Logo Basic Training

I enjoyed this training very much because I got to play around with designing a logo based on my initials. It was really nice to see how many variations and concepts come up with only two letters. Here’s a couple of iterations I made while looking into my logo:

I ended up choosing the fourth design, which is symmetrical and forms an ambigram. Here are are some variations in color based on this logo:

I ended up choosing the duo-toned blue logo since it emphasizes the duality of the orientation of the logo. Here are some mockups of different merch items the logo could be on:

Finally, here’s a version of my logo including my full name:

 

Color Wheel Basic Training

I really enjoyed learning a bit about color theory and the additive/subtractive aspects of color. Here are some progress snapshots of the design I went with for my color wheel:

Course Graphics Basic Training

I just started this training. So far, I’ve come up with a few different mood boards for the style of the course: Earth’s Dynamic Environment II.

These are the three mood boards I’ve come up with:

Moodboard 1:

  • Earthy tones with satellite images of landscapes
  • Font: Noto Serif

Moodboard 2:

  • Cool tones with images of different stages of water
  • Font: Rubik

Moodboard 3:

  • Green tones with images of green mountainscapes
  • Font: Alegreya

And here are some digital backdrops I’ve come up with based on these mood boards and feedback from Maddy:
