Google History

The google logo has been ever changing but still remaining the same since it was drawn in 1998. The first logo was designed and Ruth Kedar and he based it off of the woodwork typeface. The website now has had many various modifications or humorous features, such as cartoon modifications of their logo for use on holidays, birthdays of famous people, and major events like the olympics. These special logos are designed by Dennis Hwang and have become known as Google Doodles. In 1998, Surgey Brin created a computerizes version of the google letters using the free graphics program. Then an exclamation point was added but then removed because of controversy saying that they copied the yahoo website. They chose primary colors as their colors but then added one secondary color to show that they do not play by the rules. In 2010 they changed their logo and made the letters look 3D and titled the O's and made the letters skinnier. 

Here is a visual of the transformation of the Google logo

Quarter 3 Final

The things that i value reveal my personal story by allowing others to see how and what i feel and think about certain things in life. For instance football is something that i really value, by people knowing that i value football lets them know that i am hardworking, and that i am good with working with other people and that i am athletic. By people knowing that i value my friends will know that i am a friendly person and fun to be around and that i am incredibly blessed to have my crazy friends whom i love so much.

Nurmen Museum of Contemporary Art

Thursday Mrs. Lofquist's 2nd hour graphic design took a field trip to the Nermen Museum of Contemporary Art.
The exhibits that caught my eye and that i found interesting was the room by Dylan Mortimer. I really liked how he chose to incorporate religion into his works and how he made the viewer think about it and was subtle about it. And also i think it was really cool how the lights that the work had was motion censored. 
The next exhibit that i found interesting were the works that Kaws did. I believe that what he did was more original that any of the other art that i viewed and to me there was a darker side to his work that i really enjoyed and i also enjoyed the lighter side of the work of how the characters that he modeled his works after were characters that most people are familiar with as in Snoopy, Spongebob, or Mickey Mouse. 
Finally the last thing that i liked at the Nurmen was a picture by Zach Balber of a man that was misunderstood and not accepted and just wanted to fit in and i feel as if myself and many others could relate to the message of the the picture and how he felt.
