For this project I decided to make a logo that relates to my current topic which is on my major. In addition, I made it to where the marathon flag represents the overall idea of sports and how continuum the events are.  However, some designs designs that influenced me was nipsey’s hussles marathon campaign around his music. Signifying the fact that the marathon will always continue for the black community, kind of like a race in a way. Furthermore, i’d say the significant part about my design is the enlargement of the letter C abbreviating the word continue and the dash line across the top of the C to let it be known that this a long lasting continuing process. 

Apart from this, I’d say the design process was for me was at first a little  complicated because honestly i had no intentions on a design and i didnt know where to start. However, while drafting through my sketches I was thinking, what is something that sports can stick to, the idea of a marathon race stuck to me. The idea that sports will always continue, similar to a marathon race. And then boom that’s when my drafting got better so i decided to make SP, short for sports replacing the P with a marathon flag to emphasize the message. Moving forward, ways i used the elements on my design were easy, learning from what the illustrator tutorials had taught me on creating flag banners i utilize that skill to create banner. Then, I provided simple text from the fonts and I enlarge the letter C emphasizing the word continued in abbreviation; and lastly I wrapped up the logo making little line segments above the letters to indicate the long lasting process of sports in the sports field.

In addition, some of the tools and techniques I used were the line segment tool to create the hyphen mark above the C. than I used what I learn from the last tutorials to create the banner using the rectangular grid segment. However, some technical challenges faced while using illustrator was coming up with the marathon banner. I knew about the information on how to make banners based off the last tutorials but it was challenging trying to find a solution to make each square work like checkers. So while addressing the issue I did a little research on youtube about ways to successfully create the checkers banner; and I applied what I learned from that video and used that to create the effects of the banner.
