Emblem

This is my emblem. I'm not super thrilled with it but it does combine some elements from my mystory. I love the beach and no matter how long I spend in other places California will be home. When thinking through some possibilities I felt that I had to include the beach or California in some way. I tried a few different things and settled on this one. The other element, my name, is in similar typeface and colors to Goggle. This represents the career portion of my mystory highlighting Web 2.0. I like the contrast between nature and technology and they way it doesn't quite fit. I also felt that using my name helped to offset the lack of presence in my family discourse section. My emblem has simply lines and uses only two elements. When I design things I typically like the clean lines and simple elegance. Throughout the semester I have noticed my tendency towards simplicity, my blog is black with some color highlights and my mystory is not overly complicated either.
