the initials. personal branding.

It was very difficult for me to try to put together this branded version of myself, even in this first initial round. I struggled with the idea that this one mark was representing my whole being and that was really hard for me to describe without using a paragraph worth of text. Then, once I did start working, I really liked one of my marks, which then made it difficult to try to create more. When I initially got stuck, I started to write a list of descriptors and then I went to Pinterest to start to put together a board of images that could spark some form of inspiration. Hopefully, my designed marks for this round have enough variety to get me to my final.




my Pinterest board can be found here.

This past week, we looked into materials, researched more, constructed a paper mock up of a Landing Craft Tank (LCT) and finalized our location. We ran into some issues figuring out what would represent the LCT. Kim found a paper model of an LCT online. We then cut out the pieces and put Kim’s savvy intuitive construction skills to work attempting to recreate the LCT based on images of the finalized LCT.

Location wise we chose someone near the KAW Point, because of the current monument that is there for Lewis + Clark. KAW Point is where the LCTs used to be placed in the water to be sent down the river. The Darby Steel Corporation’s property used to be near KAW Point, with its launching site at KAW Point. We wanted to stay close to KAW Point as our main focus is historical + educational.

Assistant Professor told us to think more about construction time + prices for our final monument construction. So, this weekend we will be thinking more about what would be the most efficient way to create our final product. We also need to buy more materials to recreate the area and experience.
