Visual Development Portfolio Gen Heroes 4: Logo designs and School corridor art.

Concept art.

Logo design ideas

Final logo design


Over the last week I have been working on new background art and assets for my self directed portfolio project, one of these assets was the design for the logo of the project for Gen Heroes 4. I did have some ideas for the logo such as making it look dynamic and engaging for a younger audience. I did have one core design of the words in two sections with a giant number four standing next to it. I didn't want to plagiarise existing logos for that of Big Hero 6 or Stretch Armstrong and the The Flex Fighters so I had to avoid their particular design areas.

I showed my current core designs to my classmates via Facebook and a majority of them seemed to like the words in front of the number idea. So I decided to explore it further and it didn't seem to work at first until I played around with distortion in Photoshop, as well as scale. This seemed to give me more of a steer. Eventually I had a final design of small letters just moving over the number and it had an engaging look to the design as I added the comic book like textures as well as a drop shadow behind it to add more to the comic book theme idea.



In terms of my background art I worked on doing a piece for one of the school corridors in Damocles High School from my layout design ideas. The colour choice was rather hard and I had to play around with some ideas. Thankfully though I had finally arrived at a final look and even introduced some of the characters in their final colour ways choice and my chosen style worked very well in this scene as well. This was more proof that my style choice for this art is working well.

I am rather satisfied with todays work and hope to add this to my portfolio.
