Final Exam

Part 1.

Lexus

The Lexus logo was develpoed by Molly designers and Hunter communications. The final design for the Lexus logo featured a stylized L with an oval around the L. The first Lexus name and logo appeared at the Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York auto shows in 1988.
I really think that Lexus is a cool design. It has its own design which I really like. I like how the "L" is in the oval. The Oval is the first thing that cathes my eye when I look at the logo. I like how it has the "L" in the oval and then Lexus written out. I wouldn't like it has much if the "L" was in the oval and then that "L" was supposed to be the beginning of the Logo like if it went the oval with the L in it and than exus like it was spelling the word with the L in the oval. I like how its just plain silver and no other colors are in the Logo. I also like how it looks shiny and like it would reflect off of anything. I can always tell from a distance a Lexus I know the Logo very well and It is actually a car that I would love.

Honda
In one of the websites I read it says " Honda calls the Logo stylish and distinctive". I think that the logo is very disticnctive I think its a great design that everyone can point out any where you go. If the logo was on a billaboard but didnt say Honda underneath it wouldnt matter because the logo is very well known. While looking at some websites I see that they add different colors into their logos, but always keep the H which totally works for Honda because it is such a distict logo.

B M W
In a website about B M W it talked about the circular blue and White B M W logo or they called it the roundel which is often alleged to portray the movement of an airplane propeller. I think that is so cool. I have never thought about the B M W logo like that. I really like this logo because of the color in it. I like the shade of blue I really dont think another shade would have worked as well. I also like how the blue touches in the logo and the white touches. This design is my favorite because of how classy it looks.

Part 2
Cognitive
The first picture with the bird in the tree made me think maybe the tree was dying because it is black or it has been burnt down, but then the sun is out the bird is healthy and it looks like a nice day. It also makes me think maybe it was just winter and the tree is going to start to grow its leaves back soon.
Psychomotor-
I think that this picture is trying to show that the tree looks depressing, but that the bird looks happy and the sun is out, so it doesnt make it too depressing unless you look at the tree and it looks like it could by dying or something bad happend to it.
Affective consequences-
The affects I get from this picture are from the tree the branches arent on it so it makes me feel a little sad and the ground is all black, but I do like that once you start looking up the picture starts to look more happy with the sun out and the blue sky.
2nd picture
Cognitive-This picture would be much different if the man was turned around and you could see his face. I think right now it already looks like suicide, but If we could see the reaction on the guys face that would be much different.
Psychomotor-
I think this picture is trying to get a point across of commiting suicide I think its interesting that the finger is pointing where the bullet comes out of the gun. Its another thing that his finger is on the trigger.
Affective Consequences- The affects I get from this picture are from the gun pointing at the guys head and he is holding the trigger ready to shoot it. Once my mind looked at the cursor hand thing I felt a little bit of relief maybe because it wasn't as real to me then.
3rd Picture
Cognitive-
I think this picture as a whole has a lot of similarity to see picture the font is one thing with it. Each letter in the fonts starts with a red letter. Each picture starts with the image in the middle.
Psychomotor-
When I really look at these pictures I get a sence of calmness like with the pineapple and the blue one with the rocks or whatever that is. But when I look at the foot print it remindes me of a crime or something and then when I look down at the item that is packaged labeled Battle that looks like an eyeball I kind of get a little tensed.
Affective Consquences-
When I read the words it seems to help me be calm or when I read the word battle it makes think of like battle wounds and picture makes me feel the same way. When I read the word establish and look at the picture it helps me to be calm again and looking at the picture makes me feel a better as well.

Ilove the smell of all types of items especially Febreze. My family calls me the " smell freak". I was driving in my car one day and I was opening a new car freshner and I was thinking why doesn't Febreze have a car freshner? I decided to write them and tell them my idea, and now I have decided to create my own car freshner for Febreze.
