Evaluating Each Stage of the Design Cycle.

Investigation:

Design

Plan

In the Investigation stage, I did research on some of the well-known logos from the internet. Some of the logos like FedEx and Carrefour have hidden symbols in it which is very cool. I have also made a Case Study to compare which logos are the best.

In the Design stage, I designed 15 designs which are the IB Learner Profile (10 logos) & Area Of Interaction (5 logos). I used Photoshop to help me design. I also inputed hidden symbols for some of my designs I get from the previous ideas. I also compared my designs using the specification table to find out which one meets the expectation.

In the Plan stage, I created a Gantt chart to help me organize my time for making the designs. I created the Gantt Chart in order from the 1st design until the last. I also created a simple step by step chart by showing how I did the logos without any words included. I also included a softwares table that I have used for designing the logos.

CreateIn the Create stage, I can finally start to create my logos. I used Photoshop for my main software to create my logos. It took me quite a time to just finish 1 design, approximately 1 - 2 hours, works for all designs. But I enjoyed making them. I finished all my logos in a week and I also need to do the Documented Evidence which I screenshot while I’m working for each designs.

In the Evaluation stage, I did reflections on my works to find the advantages and disadvantages. I still need to write what I did good and what I didn’t for the logos. I think the reflection process is very important because it is the only way that we could see our mistakes and move forward. So whenever I will find my mistakes and improve next time.

Evaluation


Testing The ProductSoftware Using photoshop was a success

Time I managed to create all the logos in given time by following the plan efficiently

Size I created the logo in photoshop using 3200 * 2800 and resolution: 300

Audience The logo is appropriate to all ages therefore it can be attractive to everyone

Aesthetics My logo looks nice and attractive

Function The logos that I have create is all representing the IB Learner Profile

Purpose I think everyone can recognize the IB Learner Profile by looking at the logo

Ease of Creation It is simple and attractive but is not too easy to make

Safety There are no appropriate images or object in the logo therefore it is very safe

Durability It depends, if the people in school likes my logo, it will be used for quite a while


Successful and Least Successful Points

Although I have stated my successful points, I still have some points that are not successful. I did not follow all my steps and

time required from my Gantt Chart all the time because sometimes when creating the logos, I will add more stuffs into it which takes longer to make. I also didn’t control my time wisely

in class, sometimes getting distracted, but I still manages to finish it on time.

I have been able to create very creative and attractive logos in a given amount of time. I have designed 15 designs for

IB Learner Profile & AOI. But I’m only able to choose which topic I want to work with so I chose IB Learner Profile

because it has more attractive and simple designs. Overall, I think I did a great job on finishing the designs on time.


Impacts on: Environment & Society

When we are creating our logos, we need to use our laptops which are manufactured in different countries and factories. It creates air population from the factories and creates sound population and water population when they transfer the parts to different countries. It may seem not to harmful when creating logos using laptops but there’s a lot of issues created behind. When people wants to

view our designs, we also need to print them out which results to deforestation. A solution is to just view it directly from the laptop. Without electricity, we also wouldn’t be able to do all these stuffs. So therefore, letting electricity to pass

through every town also causes pollution and harmful issues to the world.

The impact on Society is that students, teachers, parents from SWA could recognize a new logo that represents the IB Learner Profile. It also shows a

visual image so it could attract people and having it memorized easily.


Improvements

The Improvements that I could make is to re-do the Risk Taker and Open Minded logo. Because the logos are a bit too simple, I don’t put much time and effort into it therefore it does not look as good as the other

designs.
