Logo Design

     The Eye of Providence here represents the creative vision within each of us. I'm interested in creating a name that can be recognized universally. 

    I designed this logo in Adobe Illustrator. The path and shape tools, and the complimentary Pathfinder window, are instrumental in drawing vector objects like such.  
    
    First I drew a triangle, with the almond shape at center.  I typed a Z, E, and N in a Helvetica font on the canvas, and converted those letters to outlines.  I was able to drag the corners of the letters to create the shape of the triangle. The curvature tool enabled me to fit the eye within the letter E. 

    The strength of a logo or representational image lies in its timelessness, which was the best advice I tried to follow in creating this logo.

It has an equal amount to d

Exploring Word Clouds

This generator is an educational tool, and avoids the syntax tools and more complicated formatting options. Rather, the user pastes text into a box, and then sees a random arrangement appear on the screen to show a potential example. Along the top of the page, you can edit the color of the background and text by choosing from color pallets (already made).  The layout of the cloud can be changed to common shapes like a square or heart.   I find this type of web tool exceptionally easy for a classroom setting, and could be a fun visual literacy experiment.  The first site I visited in pursuit of my word cloud was https://www.wordclouds.com/, which teaches the user a special syntax for determining the size and emphasis of their words.
