CGR 231: Mandarin CGR 232: MW logo

CGR 231

Chinese Brocade Mandarin


This mandarin has a moderate design of  twin dragons. Mandarins are made for comfort to keep the wearer cool and happy. The mandarin is made from silk most of the time but can be made from a simpler material. I actually own a full set that i use for a more formal or fancy outing. There are more elegant designs and simpler ones.

Windows Logo


The popular windows logo has a nice simple design and color scheme. The design has that wave motion, like a flag that blows in the wind, and the 4 basic colors. The colors are widely use by everyone so it gives people that friendly vibe. I honestly wonder why windows uses the wavey flag pattern to promote the product.

CGR-211: Logo changes CGR-232: Where it began

CGR-211 Intro to Motion Graphics

Climate Dragon Logo


The Climate Dragon heating and air conditioning company's logo could have some small improvements to make the dragon look more like a dragon. To me this dragon looks more like a striking snake. What could change is to add small details that won't destract from the overall idea like add a claw to the waisted space in the center.

Zelda Nintendo 64 box


This is the game that started my interests in games. This box with its simple design caught my attention all those years ago. What stuck to me was the angle of the sword behind the shield leading my eye to the large Z. With the time passing and new consoles appearing the new one had more detail.


The addition of highlight and graphics made a more attractive cover to draw more people in unlike the old cover that had just type and 2 graphics. I love both covers, but the old cover is still where i say its the best because thats where it all began for me.
