Bambabags

Logo Design
In my Academy class, we were asked to create a product or idea that helped with the Global Goals. My idea was Bambabags. Bambabags are biodegradable bags made of bamboo. The purpose of a Bambabag is to cut down on pollution.
One part of this project was to create a logo to advertise a business. To create my logo, I used Canva. This is a free graphic design program that I enjoy using.
To start, I chose a logo template and edited it the way I wanted.
I wanted everything to look clean because my business promotes cutting down on pollution.
Next, I typed out the words I wanted to be on my logo. I used the font “Holiday” for the title and “Quicksand” for the words surrounding it.
I went with a light gray background and charcoal gray letters. The shadow of the letters is a lighter shade of gray. I knew the dark gray would pop out on the light background.
I put a circle around the words and so it looked more put together and neat.
Creating a logo helped me learn how to be more creative with technology. I also learned new design techniques in Canva.
Precarious Plastics

Logo Design
For my Academy at the Creek class, we were given an assignment to create a business. My business is called Precarious Plastics. The purpose of this business is to inform about the dangers of plastic surgery.
To create this logo, I used my favorite free design program, Canva. I like Canva because you can do so much with the program.
To begin designing I chose the logo template to edit.
Then I made the color of the background navy blue.
Next, I added the text. I used the fonts Nourd and Kollektif. These fonts compliment each other well. I chose to make the letters white because I knew they would pop on the navy blue background. The words Precarious Plastics are in all caps because it is the title of my business and I wanted people to see that first.
Finally, I added the lines. I picked these lines because it made the curving text look more separated from the title so it would stand out more. The curving text is actually the slogan of this business.
This project helped me learn to be more creative with technology projects.
