I think that Labour Day is meaningful for those who work.
Nowadays, many people don't satisfy. They just work for living. Some of them do not get well with their colleage. Some of them can't do their job well. Most of them have a problem with their boss. So, Labour Day is the day let them rest. Not just for the physical body but also let their heart to rest. They can take this chance to have some time for themselves to think about their job. What they have done in their life and what they really want in their career.
The festival I choose is Labour Day which fall on 1st of May.

The layout of this calendar is simple. With a round object in the middle of the image and object that place randomly as the background. The another part is days of the month. The days are place at the left side and the month and year are place at the lower part of right side.

Calendar of May.
The concept of calendar I design is to place some symbols that represent some profession randomly as the background. The I place a sun in the middle of the image that represent the whole day is a holiday and they can have some rest in that day.

The sketch I drew.

I have search some pictures as my reference for drawing. All the pictures are from http://www.msn.com/ .

I used some tools that is not teach in tutorial. Which is Eraser Tool. It delete the part we don't want in a shape. The I used Direct Selection Tool to adjust to the shape I want.

These are the technique that i learn tutorial class. Create some shape with different types of transparency. Then place them together and have the result.


I have tried different types of transparency on the sun. This is the outcome.


This is my final work.

The reference I used is http://www.msn.com/. I used this website to search for different kinds of professions to help me in drawing.

Sketch of Logo

This is the sketch of my Nando's logo.


Redesigned Logo

The logo I choose to redesign is Nando's.

I used 4 color to design this logo. Which is brown, Red, Yellow and Green.

Brown = Roasted Chicken
Red = Chili
Yellow = Garlic
Green = Herb
At the same time, these 4 color also represent the level of spicyness of Nando's flavour.

I changed the live chicken, which is from the original logo to a roasted chicken because I think that a roasted chicken can stimulate the customers' appetite.
The circle lines represent a plate that also gives the meaning that the chicken is dish out. The peppermint leaf and Nando's logo show the level of spicyness of Nando's flavor.
The lines of the logo are more like pencil and charcoal mark. And the font of Nando's is handwriting. These is because I want to makes people feel friendly rather than formal.
