  Above: Using Adobe Illustrator we were to create a poster with a message. There's billions of planets in our universe, do you believe life is out there? Below: Incomplete alternate version, while I do like the "light" better here, I felt as if it implied a religious connotation that I was not going for. 

​ Calligram created in Adobe Illustrator, text is taken from a letter written to my future self 

I've never like describing myself or talking about myself, really. However for the sake of the assignment I managed to come up with five words that I thought represented who I am. Those five words were nerd, down to earth (multiple words, I know), chill, easygoing and intelligent. I brainstormed and drew logos for quite some time, but in my head I knew what I wanted my logo to look like. As a computer programmer the word nerd is used to describe me all too often. I coupled that with my word of choice and an old school computer terminal font to create a simplistic logo. I think the logo is well suited to branding, because you could put any word you want inside the brackets. The green font makes it pop on a black background and the purple slash adds a touch of uniqueness.
