The purpose of this exercise was to think of a fictitious company name to go with an icon of our choice. In always striving to use tools in this class with my other classes specifically, SCOM 367, I chose to pretend that our blog, CampusCrush101, was a company. By using the Photoshop software I was able to design an icon for the dating advice blog. CampusCrush's sign off to postings is "Kiss and Tell...". I decided to use that theme and take an image of lips and incorporate CampusCrush. Design techniques that I used include: the magnetic lasso tool, paint bucket, texture, text tool, blur tool, paint brush, and shine tool. This image evolved from layer to layer as it started off as a simple image taken from the google search engine. Through all the tools listed above came the creation of the CampusCrush101 icon. I personally loved this exercise because of the freedom to design however I pleased and on anything I wanted. I enjoyed the minimal amount of restrictions as it allowed me to think creatively and produce something that I may actually implement into the CampusCrush101 website.

Combining Fonts and Images
According to our book, " Visual agreement between fonts and the graphic elements that accompany them is something that designers are constantly aiming for within their layouts" (269).
