Final Element - My World (typography)

I've known since the start of the module that I was doing a logo, avatar, pixilation and a website for 4 of my 5 identity projects, but I've only decided on my 5th element in the last couple of days.

For a while I've been trying to think of ideas that would really display my personality and not just things I like etc. I wanted to really spell it out... so I thought I could do just that. Last night I got some friends and family to contribute words that they think describe me. Then, last night and today I have used those words to form my world - according to those who know me best. And this is the result;

I was given a mass of words from all different types of people in my life, which lead to a variety of descriptive words... many contradictory, but then that's just part of who I am. Sometimes I am quite, sometimes I am loud etc. etc.

Originally, I wanted to create an avatar that reflected my own appearance. Then I realised how damn hard that is. I did try - numerous times, but I found it very difficult to create a shape that looks like a human, let alone me! I've never been able to draw people and it seems it's no different with modelling. Fair play to everyone who's created an avatar that looks like them.

So this presented a problem and I needed to think of a way around it. I thought if I can't show my appearance with my avatar, then I want to put the emphasis on displaying my personality. So this is the concept I've come up with...

My avatar is my name [STE], with each letter showing a different aspect of my personality. The 'T' is the main body of the avatar, which holds the other letters in each hand. As it is the main body it shows the main part of my personality, which is my casual/laid back approach to life.
The 'S' shows that I like to go out and have a good night.
The 'E' shows that I can be a very hard worker when I need to be.

Laid back.

Party time.

Hard worker - like to get things done.

Three major parts of my personality.
I dont tend to wear party hats when I go out, I don't usually wear shades, and I don't wear ties when I'm working, but this isn't based on my appearance, it's based on showing the different sides to my personality and I feel these features emphasise this.

I realise it isn't great quality, but I like the concept and feel it's a decent compromise for my lack of 3D modelling skills.

More Logo Work (and finished AV)

So I decided my first logo wasn't really suitable. I liked the concept and thought it looked ok, but it doesn't really meet the criteria for a good logo.

All the logo's I've done so far;

1.

Like I said for the first one, I think it looks alright, but when you reduce the size it's hard to make out the shapes.

I think I prefer number 4 as the full logo and I can then use number 3 as a sort of sub logo.

In addition, I have completed my Audio-Visual piece which is a pixilation entitled 'A Day in the Life of Stephen Greig' - watch.
