Well, time to make my own logo/poster for my own thingy, instead of designing one for the Music department. So, I must observe other logos/posters, take note of them, see what secrets they hold. Or maybe just feel discouraged because OH MY GOD, THESE ARE SO COOL-LOOKING. But that is not what I'm in this class for. (doesn't mean I don't do it...) Of course music logos and posters are a great source of inspiration. Yes, being inspired by a thing that was made from somebody being inspired by something really is a wonderful thing. So, I chose this Daft Punk poster because, well, I think it looks cool. It's colors are nice, black and tanish-yellow with a contrasting red background, it really puts a focus on Guy Manuel and Thomas Bangalter. The logo itself is small and to the corner, putting greater emphasis on the robots.
Good logos keep the colors simple, but use them to add emphasis on the subject. The logo should be eye-catching, but at the same time should not take away emphasis on the subject, unless it IS the subject.

"Get out of here, Stalker."
Well I drew a caricature, and it is very Russian. The person is just some guy looking surprised in a balaclava and a hoodie. He reminded me of a character from a video game so that's how I based the coloring and background. The original .psd file would have allowed you to see the background, and Putin in a frame, along with a couple of other details, but oh well. I used multiple layers to color again, and it's pretty cool to do so. I like how the coloring ended up, especially with the balaclava. I kinda didn't like how the lips turned out, but then again, I have zero experience drawing lips, mouths I can do, but lips... He could have been drawn more surprised. I shall end this with the most Russian name ever. Spooky... Well this was a pretty interesting project that I had fun with, taking an old black and white photo and putting it in a new environment while adding color to it. It was kinda a hassle to give color to the black and white photo, but the end result is very satisfying, just going back and forth between the old and new photos is fun. How I colored was that I had two extra layers for coloring, I put the opacity to 12% and colored in. I made different colors by using the fact that I'm using two layers to color to my advantage. The skin color was kinda hard to do, I tried a lot of different color combinations, and it was worth it. Also, I made the girl hold a knife for extra spooks. The background is a post-apocalyptic setting. Even after the apocalypse, there's still Halloween... except the costumes are real... and it's probably really dangerous (White vans would be the LEAST of their problems).
