Micah Nakao designed a logo and poster and explains the design choices. For the logo, red represents emotions and personality, black balances white in headphones, and gray represents black and white. Circles were used as they are symmetrical. For the poster quoting Master Oogway, the peach picture represents the context of the quote while the Chinese font and peachy font color tie it to Kung Fu Panda's Chinese culture and focus attention on the quote.
3. Why the color(s)?
• I chose red as my most defining color because
I feel it is the best representation of my
emotions and my personality.
• I chose black because it is an empty color that
does a great job at balancing the white in the
headphones.
• I used gray because it is the color made when
combining white and black, meaning that I can
represent either color, or both.
4. Why the shape(s)?
• The main shape used in my logo were circles
because they are perfectly symmetrical
shapes, no matter which way you cut them if
you go directly through the center.
6. Why the quote?
• I chose this quote, stated by Master Oogway
from Kung Fu Panda, because I attempt to live
my life by the quotes guidelines. I try to forget
about the past, not worry about the future,
and live my life in the present.
7. Why the picture?
• When Master Oogway said his grand quote,
he was talking to Po who was eating peaches
from the Sacred Peach Tree.
8. Why the font?
• The animated movie Kung Fu Panda is based
around the customs and features of
traditional Chinese culture. The font I chose
for this quote represents Kung Fu, which was
a popular study in China.
9. Why the font color?
• I chose a peachy color for the font because
the background is black and white and the
only color visible is the font’s color and the
vibrant colors from the peach. To show
formality and uniform color in the poster, I
used the same color for the font as the peach.
