IB Learner Profile


Design 1Pros: Cons:

Summary: This ‘Thinkers’ logo represents a lightbulb. As you can see, there’s a

person in the lightbulb thinking. I also used negative

effect when designing this logo.

- Creative shape- Hidden Symbol- Negative Effect

- I don’t think this logo has any weakness


Design 2

Pros:

Cons: Summary: This ‘Knowledgeable’ logo represents a thundercloud. The cloud represents the brain and with the lightning, it’s like super brain, which means you

are knowledgeable.

- Powerful meaning- Creative structure

- The lightning is too big


Design 3Pros: Cons:

Summary: This ‘Reflective’ logo represents a perspective view of yourself. There’s a lot

of possible answers for different views in the logo, so it means you need to reflect

on which side is the weakness, and the good

ones. It basically makes you think.

- Nice use of perspective- Creative idea- Simple but attractive

- Need to fix the question mark


Design 4 Pros: Cons:

Summary: This ‘Communicators’ logo is representing our world

sending out signals. The idea is that every person

in this world is communicating and the red lines represent the

signals

- Nice use of colors- Simple design




Summary: This ‘Balanced’ logo represents a balancing

scale but with a different way. As you can see, the B & D is balanced so that the whole word can be formed. The black line is the balancing

scale supporting the whole word.

- Simple yet unique- Interesting design

- Meaning not clear enough


Design 6Pros:

Cons:

Summary: This ‘Caring’ logo represents a person with 2 hands

facing outwards. It’s like unity, helping each other. So I used it as the caring

logo. I put the word Caring in between the right hand and left hand and make the C looks like a goggle

by adding another C.

- Creative thinking- Simple and meaningful - Not really attractive

- Whole structure is kind of messy


Design 7Pros: Cons:

Summary: This ‘Principled’ logo represents a court. This is the place where the judges accuse you being guilty or

not guilty. It represents principled because they are powerful, they can say anything they want without

people stopping them. So, I thought it would be a good idea to make it as the logo.

- Simple and meaningful- Interesting concept

- Change color of font


Design 8

Pros:

Cons:Summary: This ‘Risk Taker’ logo

represents a person who stands out than anybody else. He is a risk taker

while the others are afraid.

- Interesting idea- Stands out really well

- Messy- Not putting effort in it- Too complicated


Design 9Pros: Cons:

Summary: This ‘Open Minded’ logo represents a head being opened... It does not look like it but the idea is

just Open the mind (head).

- Simple design- Interesting concept

- Doesn’t mean anything

- No effort in it


Design 10Pros:

Cons:

Summary: This ‘Inquirers’ logo represents a person who loves to talk and ask questions. Since Inquirers means people who likes to ask question, I put bubble speech on top of his head to represent it.

- Nice usage of colors- Simple and attractive



Evaluation Against Specification

- I think that both FedEx and my logo have something in common, the hidden symbol. FedEx hidden symbol is the arrow, while my symbol is a person. I think my designs are creative so as FedEx. So I think FedEx and my designs are in the same level.

+

Android’s logo comparing to my designs have a big difference. Android’s logo is very symbolic while many of them are only attractive. Some of my designs are also too complicated compared to Android’s.


Area Of Interaction


Design 1Pros: Cons:

Summary: This logo represents a school with green fields which relates

to ‘Approaches To Learning’. I made this colorful because it is

mainly for little children who don’t have access to

education.

- Colorful- Attractive - Bit messy


Design 2Pros:

Cons:

Summary: This logo represents a group of people gathering around holding hands which relates to Community & Service.

Community & Service itself means a community + helping others. So I made the color green and blue which represents

eco-friendly.

- Interesting & Creative- Nice usage of color

- Make more tidy



Summary: This logo represents our Indonesian culture. A person wearing batik is related to Human Ingenuity. Because it mentioned Culture so I just designed Indonesian culture style logo.

- Interesting concept- Simple design

- Not tidy- Not attractive


Design 4

Pros:

Cons: Summary: This logo is a tree trunk holding a globe on top of it. It relates to the topic: Environments. The idea is that the tree holds our earth, so without trees our planet will not be able to survive.

- Nice usage of colors- Interesting and Simple- Nice idea

- Not that attractive


Design 5Pros: Cons:

Summary: This logo represents the idea of Health & Social Education. I combined them both to become a book. The logo at the front represents Health and the book represents Social Education.

- Colorful- Stands out really well

- Not attractive- Not putting much effort


Evaluation Against Specification


Design Summary

I made 15 designs about IB Learner Profile and Area Of Interaction. Each design represents something that is related to the subject. I made all of

them in photoshop and it took me a quite a time to finish all of them in a

week. But overall, it’s all pretty good.


Plan


Gantt Chart


Step By Step

-- ---- - -


Softwares:Paint Tool SAI is a application for drawing using the bamboo tablet - Wacom. I have tried several times using the tablet and this application and I think it is

also possible for designing a logo but with also other applications to combine together.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 is a application for photo editing, graphic design, logo design, 3D design, and lots more. It is a good designing application because I used it several times

already for designing the Gindo logo, so it is very comfortable and not easy to use, but may able to create a professional

looking logo.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 is a application also for designing logos and stuffs. Illustrator is different from Photoshop because the functions are different. Illustrator uses a

more professional and more detailed features to create logos. So it is also a great choice to use this application

for designing a logo.


Plan Evaluation

My plan is effective because each design that I create must be at least an hour or more to finish using

photoshop. I listed 15 steps in the Gantt chart to try to follow the time allowed for each design to finish. I can also follow my step by step for 8 designs in order to

help other people to know what to do.
