Equestrian Club

Summary

The equestrian club is meant to allow students in New York City to experience horseback riding and learn about horses overall. It is difficult to ride in the city so the club goes to Prospect Park to ride and enjoy the company of horses. Also, riding can be therapeutic so it is an outlet of stress and allows the students to express themselves. A common theme in the equestrian club is self exploration. When bonding with an animal and learning to control it, it teaches a lot about ones self and can make a person more self aware. As of right now there are approximately 15 students in the club and they will all start riding in the spring, as it is hard to ride outside in the snow. The students will be riding english style riding and will be riding for not only improving skills but also recreational purposes.

Favorite Logos

I enjoy wearing the brand Ariat, which is a horse riding apparel brand. Other than the fact that they have great quality clothing, I like their logo because it is very clever. It took me years to actually figure out what the logo was but I still liked it because it was a shield like shape and was small but detailed. Later on I figured out that the logo is actually three interlocking horseshoes which I think is the most clever idea ever. It looks like a keltic knot mixed with a flower like shape.

From the best logo links, I think the 38 dots logo is the best. The name has dots in the name and the logo is a 38 made up of dots. It really caught my attention because it is clever and very visually appealing. The different colored dots provide variety in the logo and the different sized dots do the same. Overall I think it is the most clever and most appealing logo out of them all.

Portrait Transformation

I chose to turn my sister, Sofia, into half tiger because she is fierce and the tiger is fierce. I used different tools such as: the smudge tool, erasing with high feathering and low opacity, and other tools to try to make her face and the tiger head blend. I also made the background black because I felt like the purple background didn't math my concept of "fierce-ness". I feel like mine was successful because I blended the face in well and matched the eye with the tiger eye.
