The McDonald's logo is a very simple, yet iconic logo design. It is known that the color red affects the brains appetite. The golden arches are creating the letter 'M' which obviously stands for "McDonald's"





The Hot Wheels logo uses flames to reflect the name "Hot Wheels". The way the text is organized helps to show movement and speed,  which are to qualities there products represent 





Noodles and Company took a more direct approach and clearly display noodles and a spoon on there logo. Notice, this restaurant company also incorporated the color red, which can mentally make one think they are hungry and increase their appetite







Domino's also took a literal approach to their logo by incorporating an actual domino in their design. Text is laid out simply and easy to read for their customers. And, once again, there is the inclusion of the color red.







The Fedex logo is quite simple, to the ordinary eye. They tried to be subtle with there representation of what their company does, which is deliver packages. If you look closely, you'll notice between the 'E' and the 'X' there is the illusion of an arrow. This was no accident, this shows there is movement, as in "moving" things from one place to another, or delivery.

5 Ideas for Fictional Company

1.) Holness Landscaping: This logo should represent the service provided by the landscaping company, which is: Cutting, Mowing, Trimming/Edging customers lawns. some form of equipment (lawnmower, edger, etc.) should be included as well as easy-to-read text showing the company name. 2.) Keyboard Projector: This logo is going to be one of the more simple logos of the group. It should simply display a model of the product in action, along with the brand name. 3.) Youth Basketball Organization: For this logo, I am thinking of having a basketball image as the centerpiece with arcing text around both sides with the words; "youth" and "association" around them 4.) Electric Roller-Blades A simple image of the designed product with a slanted streaky text under the wheels of the blade (on fire) 5.) Reaching All Youth: An organization benefiting under privileged youth. Hands with a globe in hand, wings, basketball, the whole 9 yards

Project 1: ASCII

For this project, I thought it would be cool to do a 3d drawing of a simple house. I tried to incorporate elements like a gradient sky and a small pond outside of the home to help with the realism of the overall picture. As this is my first time with html coding, the overall project came out successful. The graph drawing made things a lot easier with the overall layout and direction of the lines in the image and helped keep things organized and simple in the coding process. references:http://www.html5canvastutorials.com/tutorials/html5-canvas-tutorials-introduction/
