Creating my Personal symbol

My personal symbol has always been the alphabet P even my signature. So When was asked to design a personal symbol, the idea came up right away.

First, we are required to use Adobe illustrator to create simple shapes of a symbol that represents ourselves using the tools we learned from CG1 class. So this entire symbol was created using the Pen Tool and Polygon Tool.

The question mark was drawn first as it is more complicated and the stroke size were adjusted to fit. Then comes the green and then blue entirely from the Pen Tool. Colors were later put in according to my preference.

The green bar which has some kinda spiky effect crystallize tool, whereas the curly effect at the end of the blue bar were done with the Twirl tool. It represents an ocean wave as I said in my previous post. Calm and cooling breeze, that's what the color blue depicts.

The end comes the Buddhism symbol. It is done using many types of Rounded and Eclipse tool that forms the symbol. Color and stroke size were later add in.

Lastly, I used the stylize effect to add shadows to the symbol to make it look as though as it is standing out.

There came my personal symbol, simple but carries alot of meaning to it and everything is personally related to my life.

My Personal Symbol - Daze

This is my latest design of my Personal Symbol. It's called Daze completed fully with the use of tools from Adobe Illustrator. It looked simple but carries alot of meaning in it.

First, there is 4 symbols connected to be one single symbol. The alphabet P. The question mark ( ? ) , the number, 2 and the Buddhism symbol. I've always been very proud of my surname which is Phoon, So the P stands for my surname and also myself as a whole. Everything that surrounds the alphabet P is my personalities and beliefs.

Lets talk about the number 2. I've always believed that I have to personalities. 2 side of me. As a Pisces, split personalities are common. sometimes i can be moody, and then back to normal or jovial in seconds. It may seems weird but no harm to others. XD lol

The question mark is that i'm still in a daze, still thinking and asking myself. what is the purpose of my life right now. Am i doing the things for future, or am i just wasting my time. Alot of these thoughts gone through my mind as i'm still asking why.

The Buddhism symbol is obviously telling about my belief in God. Although i'm not fully educated on Buddhist religion. I strongly believe that God is always watching our every moves from above, He can make what we are now, He can too take it back.

The green bar that are separated with a spiky and a smoother one, tells that i have a rough and softer side. I can be as tough as I can be, but i'm also a strongly emotional guy.

The color RED shows my race as a Chinese. Mostly Chinese favor red in everything, it brings luck and wealth and happiness. Basically everything positive. :)

Blue is personally my own favourite color. I'm a person who is always calm and steady. The blue shows that of a calm and relaxing feeling like the sky or ocean. I've always use the color Blue to describe myself.

The color Green is the color of Health. I'm a particularly health conscious guy. The color green as i see it is a color of nature, the color of a healthy one self. I've gone through overweight and i know now how important the health is. While I was losing weight and maintaining a good appetite, greens are always in my sight. veges, fruits, and veges. haha.

Every color plays a part n my life and it's important to me. This is just about my Personal Symbol.
