Digital Portfolio
All logo designs, wireframes, and original files are available on InvisionApp, anyone with the link can view/access the files:

Color Schemes
Color schemes for potential logo designs are available on Kuler. Kuler is an Adobe product and may require an Adobe account ID. If an account is required, please email me.

=Logo Design Inspiration= I use Pinterest to collect and save logos and images for reference. The collection is available on the "EcoEd Logo Design Board" [|EcoEd Logo Design Board (Pinterest)]

= TO-DO LIST =  -- Design interrelated logos for the following platforms/projects  Platform for Experimental and Collaborative Ethnography  Disaster-STS Research Network  The Asthma Files ;   EcoEd  RDA DPHE-IG  World Research (Brandon will get up and running, to connect researchers addressing the future of higher education in different geographic and cultural contexts; we need to better conceputalize what this will be)  -- Review platforms as wholes, and the look/flow of pages. Consider how to make best use of visuals. 

**October 24 Meeting Notes**
leave the logo designs open, instead of filling in
 * iteration of both filled in colors and open lines
 * color schemes for TAF: yellow and gray
 * lighter yellow green

Disaster STS
 * handdrawn

For all logos
 * filled in with colors
 * opacity
 * chiaroscuro

EcoEd
 * handwritten text
 * “making connections”
 * one version with RPI + EcoEd
 * one with only EcoEd
 * no logo, just EcoEd
 * child’s painting on a globe
 * color scheme: green, orange, maroon
 * color scheme:

No handwritten text for PECE, Disaster STS, and TAF

World Academia Site
 * color scheme: orange and pink, maybe crimson
 * puzzle metaphor
 * ethernet wires for connectivity
 * network diagram
 * regionality
 * connections
 * connectionism
 * hive plots
 * avoid social network diagrams

Lindsay handles the CSS, send the hex colors
 * send the hex values after class today

PPT slides
 * fix the ratio
 * smartart so that it scales better
 * make the ratio and color work

Graphics for the website
 * two column grid structure

= NOTES =  **from Alli Morgan:** I like the idea of the skewed peace sign for the PECE platform, but I think it looks a bit too simplistic in its current state.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">For TAF site, I would favor the idea of using three separate logos/images to denote when something is categorized in knowledges, spaces, or care. That way users would know how something was categorized, and in some cases falls into more than one category. It would help to visually delineate between the different sets of shared questions we are addressing in each category.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">These of course would be separate from the individual images for specific spaces, researchers, etc.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">For knowledges, a better quality image of the venous structure of the lungs or the branching bronchioles would really align with the way streams of knowledge branch off and converge.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">For care, the obvious choice seems like an inhaler or something of the sort. I always found the older black and white inhaler and buteyko experiment photographs to be particularly compelling, but I'm not sure how much we want as a designed logo versus image.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">For spaces, some sort of environmentally related geographical image (without being geographically specific to one of our cities?). We also need to find the best image to capture the essence of the heart of the issue in each of the seven cities. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; display: block; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
