The artist formerly known as Allison Doty finally meets Web 2.0! (Apparently she also writes in third person.)
My buddy Victor, a fellow Evergreener, decided to pass the time one night making names into Web 2.0.
The nickname driving this logo was created after one of my photographers, Tyler Tjomsland, started calling me A-Dot.
Thus Allison Doty—> A-Dot—> Web 2.0= this
Victor is a genius with a huge afro and his blog is hilarious! Check out Victor’s blog for more Web 2.0 logos here.
Yesterday I was struggling to finish a project for my Advertising class where we were instructed to design something that incorporated three elements about us.
Barf.I came up with a concept to take my favorite era of design, the late ‘6os and ’70s, and incorporate things about me into a vintage Fillmore poster.
Besides the fact that the project was indeed due next week (instead of today like I thought), this was a large challenge for me from concept to finish.
My original inkling was to swap the profile of this woman with a profile of my mother from a photo taken of her in the ’70s. I tried and tried to make her look “chic” but all my efforts failed miserably. Two little birds on my shoulder (Victor and Dan) kept updating me on my “vector mom” journey, describing her first as “vector mom” then as “ape vector mom.”
So, the moral of this story … I have learned I suck at vector faces. So I wimped out (and since I THOUGHT I was running out of time), just traced the original poster’s face, and that was that.
My final project is shown above. NOTE TO SELF: Add Victor and Dan to my hate list.
