Project 1
3D Logo Design
​
Process Overview
For our first project in 3D Graphics, we took an already existing 2D logo and made it 3D. We started by identifying issues, causes, and areas of interest that we are passionate about. Then we reflected and wrote about why one particular area is personally significant. We then researched organizations or businesses that are connected to and support one or more of those areas we selected. Acting as graphic designers doing volunteer work to support a meaningful cause, we redesigned their already existing 2D logo as a 3D graphic - free of charge!
In order to complete the construction of a newly created 3D graphic, we used skills we learned to build the submarine exercise, which included primitive shapes, splines, shape expanders, and shape deformers. Lastly, we learned how to add color, materials, and lighting to make the new logo more contemporary.

BME - "Black Matches Everything" is a saying that my grandmother used to always say to me. The saying really stuck to me and grew a deeper meaning to me. Although very simple and grounded, "Black Matches Everything" is also very different and powerful. I started the company in 2012. "Black Matches Everything" is for EVERYBODY. It is more than clothes, it's a culture, it's a lifestyle. It has really become about leading a fun, happy and fulfilling life. When wearing BME you are wearing a statement that attests to this way of life.
