Which Bunny is Which?

We used Adobe Illustrator CS4 to recreate a logo for any company. I chose Playboy, which you might think would be a strange choice but making the logo was fairly simple. Simplicity in this class is not something i'm used to judging from all the trouble I had with InDesign. All I had to make was the head, bunny ears, a bow, a tie, and a white eye that I placed on the head. Then I just had to arrange the features around each other the same way the original logo was. I found Adobe Illustrator fairly easy to use compared to InDesign, which is strange because I thought they were very similar programs.

Recycle Me!


This is the ad created for the bottles can. "Shape a recycling world" draws a parallel to, "Shape a changing world" which is use in the mission statement. Using green in the ad demonstrated how we want to be "green" at Miss Porter's and the use of specific plastic, metal and glass can and bottles makes the ad more personal.
This is the ad created for paper. Again, we used a play on the mission statement, green coloring and specific names and titles of papers, envelopes, boxboard, magazines and newspapers that portray what a Porter's girl might recycle.

Good Ad!


This is my redesign of the bad ad. I changed the alignment, the picture, contrast, and fonts. I used a center alignment, except for the picture and the contact and address information. I tied the colors in the cornucopia to the words. This brought the ad together. The outline is the same color as the cornucopia basket because without it, the ad was a little bland.

Bad Ad

Bad Ad:


I had to transform this "Bad Ad" into a new, more readable ad. A few things, I changed were: the alignment, contrast, picture, and the fonts.
