Ed Tech CC Assignment 1

Signs and Symbols

I experimented with Aviary - Raven Vector Editor to create a logo for my department.  I am familiar with Adobe Illustrator and found Raven relatively easy to use.  There is only a limited range of tools, however they are certainly to tools you would generally use most when creating vector images and for a free online image editor I found it excellent.

I spent about 30 mins experimenting with Raven and designing my logo.  It is very basic, due to my still being on school holidays and not into the work routine at the moment! I would have liked to follow a more refined design process and have enjoyed reading how others have developed their ideas and generated solutions.  Hopefully I will be able to take a more in depth approach in future tasks.

Looking at the Aviary Suite, it seems to be quite a find and I am looking forward to experimenting with it some more over the coming weeks.

Appreciate the comments and hope you can guess the department in which I work from the logo..!

  1. The good old pillar drill :)
    I suggest students use Aviary (Raven) at home as an alternative to Illustrator. We use is through Google Apps which also means their files are all saved to their google docs and they don't tend to loose them.

  2. Automotive engineering? - I haven't used Aviary but I'll try it out after this exercise.
