Idea and Inspiration: For my draft audio story I decided to make an informational/how-to audio on my fishing experience in eastern Washington. My course topic is called Fishing in Eastern Washington, so I thought an informational audio story would be a good fit.

Design Process: What inspired me for my audio story was the Audition tutorials. In the first tutorial, where we had to count and put it to music, I was inspired to do a similar thing for my audio story. Instead of music playing in the back round, like in the tutorial, I have the noise of a running river to go along with the “fish” theme of my project. First, I made a recording of my voice, which covers information like where I fish, what fish are in the rivers, the type of fishing pole I use, how to go about fishing on a river and what you can do with the fish once one is caught. Next, I found the sound of a river on freesound.org. I applied the two together and edited them so the river faded in and out. Then, I made the sound of the river soften when I started talking.

Technical Detail: The first element was me talking. I used Voice Memos app on my iPhone to record myself. For the river sound, I went to freesound.org and downloaded the free sound. I used to the clipping tool a lot on Audition because I made the river start and end 5 seconds before and after my voice recording. The volume was also important because I needed to make the sound of the river more quiet while I was talking. Controlling the volume of the river was challenging for me at first, but later figured out that the keynotes move it up and down.

My final logo design was very fun to make. My initial draft logo was similar, but the changes I added improved it overall. The draft had the text saying “Nick’s Fishin'” at the top of the logo and the colors were not as fluent.

The revisions I received were very helpful toward my final design project. One of my suggestions was adding the circle around the logo, which I did. Also I was suggested to change up my text. I moved it from the top of the logo to the side, and added fishing line and a hook to the text.

In the revision of my logo, I switched some things around, mostly with the text. In the draft, my text was at the top of the logo. In the new logo, I put the text on the side of logo. Also, I added fishing line going throughout the pole. I also added a fishing hook at the end of the line and attached the text to the hook. I like this because it creatively incorporates the text with the logo. Another aspect I added was the circle around the logo. I think this circle is important because it really draws focus to the logo and makes it more attractive.

Idea and Inspiration: For this logo I decided to cross two fishing poles with the title ‘Nicks Fishin’ Adventures’ at the top. My course topic relates to me going around Eastern Washington and fishing, so this logo relates perfect for what I am trying to accomplish.

Design Process: I wanted to include a fishing pole because I thought that would be a good way to represent what my project was representing. I decided to add the second pole to even out the logo. I looked up a cartoon fishing pole on google and based the poles I made after that. Also the text at the top of the logo is significant because because it makes it personal yet adds more professionalism to the logo. My process included using different shapes to put together my pole, I then filled all the shapes with different colors. I then added the text at the top of logo.

Technical Details: I used google to look up a cartoon fishing pole, and based the one I made off of that picture. All of my wishing pole was made of of the rectangle and the circle tool. I used the text tool to create the title at the top of the logo. I wanted to add a fish at the top of my logo, but was unsure how to create one.

I thought that the two poles crossing was a good center piece, and the text on the outside confirms what the logo is for. I filled in the empty space up top with a fish.
