So i decided to use a rose for this final project. I knew it was going to be quite challenging for me because i personally prefer using simple, predictable shapes, where as these are a bit more organic. Half way through this project i realized that, but by then i had gone too far and wanted to see what i can come up with. I love flowers, roses, plants, succulents, cactus's and all that good stuff nature provides so i thought maybe i can use this for something outside of class one day. I started off using the straight forward approach for my first sketches, then u can see towards the end, i used the photo where the rose is at more of an angle because i wanted more of an asymmetric feel to the logo even though it would still feel balanced. Here are the sketches to the photo on the left:
By the end of these sketches, i had started to transition to the angled approach, which i prefer, i feel it espresses some scale features and allows an open opportunity for more shading. Here are a couple sketches that i did while using the right photo provided at the top:
And finally my finished product.
I definitely wish i could of simplified this a little bit more, for being a logo and all. In the end, i envisioned a smooth, rounded rose with shading that consisted of staggering points for shading. however i am very satisfied with my finished product. The image trace of this drawing gave me bold lines that i like. My goal was to keep it under 10 pedals, because if it went over it would be too complicated for a logo. I do wish i went a bit more abstract though.
