On Friday we were given a lecture in which we looked more into what makes me me. One idea I did like however was that where you grew up and the experiences you had have a huge influence on your life. This projects getting very deep very fast.
But anyway in this we created a map of our life where we were born and places we've lived. I've knocked this much neater version up on photoshop, it's very basic but I've only really lived in two places and I lived in another village for the first year of my life. I was born in Huddersfield and for at least a year lived in a village called Golcar, I then moved to Meltham which is a village near by. I thought that it was important to include the village names instead of simply Huddersfield, where I grew up the villages were very important and there was a lot of friendly local rivalry between the villages (I'm proud to be a Melthamer). Meltham is the biggest circle on the image, it's where I grew up and has had the biggest influence on my life.
Similarly the line from Golcar to Metham isn't very thick that is because, I was only young and therefore it wasn't such a big change for me. The line to Nottingham is a lot thicker, I also made Nottingham a very big spot, although I've only lived here a short time I do really like it and I think I've 
grown up a huge amount and this time.
grown up a huge amount and this time. From this I was able to come up with a concept for a simple logo by applying my circles idea to this map, I've already stated that my shape is a circle and I was already planning to do something along these lines. Here however I've put this into some context as they represent where I've lived, and the ripples effect shows how important this stage of my life was to me.
I do really like this idea as it takes something about me and uses it in an attractive way, it also similarly to what I did with the paint drops (making the Xbox controller), takes an initial idea that I had and uses it for something that is more relative to the project.
I love this idea but it does need developing to make it slightly simpler, I do need text as well so I'll look into this. I'm also doing a short piece of animation before my logo just as an introduction, which will look cool but if I have a more simple idea in the end like this I will also fulfill the brief.
So I'm working on the animation at the minute my original idea for this was that all the animations would form the shape of my logo, this will be hard to do however if I only have the outlines of circles. So what I am now thinking is that my animation will play they all be sucked in to a single point in the centre of the screen, immediately after my logo will appear bursting out from the same point. I think this is a cool idea, I do really want to use animation in it as I think it will serve as a good introduction to the logo, how this will relate to my logo is that all the thing in the animation; a footballer, a guitarist etc will be things that represent me and therefore are a part of what makes up the inspiration for the logo. I'm really sorry if this sounds really confusing give me a couple of days to fire out the animation and all will become clear I promise.
