Business Card # 2

Someone once told me that I was an eccentric person. The term soon began to stick, and it seemed to fit me the more I thought about it. I always had a quality about me that was somewhat different and twisted, both in my work and my personality. For developing a logo for myself, I wanted something that was obviously different, twisted, and a little unexpected. Right of the bat, I had the idea of creating a creature made from objects. I began listing items and started drawing them out. When I drew a pair of scissors, I saw how they resembled eyes. I then when through my list and envisioned an eggbeater and magically, by bird creature appeared. I really love the way it came out, and I think it does exactly what I wanted my logo to do. From far away, it looks like a bird because the feet are noticeable, but with further examination, you notice that the bird is made up of ordinary objects anyone could find in their kitchen. I feel it makes the expected become unexpected. It could just have been a regular bird, one you see everyday, but instead, this is one out of your imagination. I had Alice in Wonderland on my mind while doing this project, incase you were wondering
