Commercial art, often called advertising art. Is used to
sell goods and services. It is different from fine art, which exists
for its own sake. There are a few specific careers one can
pursue in commercial art, and many of these require the
completion of a degree program in commercial art or a
similar area,
Commercial art. Applies artistic principles to a variety of
fields. Commercial artists design advertisement, logos,
billboards, brochures, books covers, product packaging and
other similar artwork. Their work is often used to sell, promote,
explain, narrate and inform. Commercial artists are typically
employed by advertising agencies, newspapers, magazines,
graphic design firms, television studious and similar businesses.

II. WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED

The creation of an artwork needs to be well thought of,

well made and attractive so that other people will appreciate
it and buy it. It is like design as defined above but the
difference is the product will be used after it is bought while
an art work remains only to be appreciated and not used.
Another similarity worth knowing is that since design is like art,
it also follows the same elements and principles. We already
learned that by properly using the elements and principles of
art, we can create works of art that will have better aesthetics
or beauty in them. Again the only added value in design
compared to art is its purpose and use.

II. WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW
A logo is a design symbolizing an entity, group or
organization. Logos are among the most common symbols in
our visual environment.We see them on television, on the
Web, in billboards, in newspapers, in magazines in packaging
etc. They are printed on clothes, buses, notebooks and so on.
Many of these logos have become famous and are a delight
to see.
A well designed logo makes an impact on our eyes and
minds. Have a look at the logos shown below. Which logo do
you think is the most memorable? Which is your favorite?
Logos come in different types. The following are some of them:
1. Personal Logos- Logos as personal images are used to
brand possesions, achievements, or even one’s identity.
Through logos, simple but strong declarations such as
“This is me”. I own that”, “I made this” seemed to be an
ancient practice.
2. Crests- Crests are logos that are used to identify a family,
country or organization. Before, only powerful and elite
organizations or families could afford to make their own
crest.
3. Business and Product logos- Among the most popular
symbols in our visual environment today are logos and
trademarks for various businesses. Logos for business or
product started when trade expanded worldwide

WHAT IS A LOGO DESIGN?

The people who design such identifying symbols or logos

are known as graphic designers.
Logo design is an important field of graphic art. Like all
graphic arts, logo design aims to communicate a message to
the viewers. Of course, logo design, does more than just
communicate its identity or provide the means for its instant
recognition. While it aspires to achieve these, foremost to a
logo design is its quality. A logo design has to be strong,
interesting and unique. It must be visually pleasing, a delight
to look at.
Logo designers are the artists who attend to the visual
presentation of a logo. How to convey well the message of a
logo visually is their concern. It is common to see logo
designers, work as a team. Often they are commisioned by
companies to start product logo design project for them.
WHAT MAKES A LOGO DESIGN GREAT?
SYMBOLS- Symbols instantly make people think of traits or
messgae that they want associated with a company, group,
product, or service. Through them, people find it easier to
recognize, identify or recall images than texts.

Symbols in logos can bring about awareness of the products or services

that is offered by a company. It is especially true in cases where the
company name is not self explanatory.
COLORS- Color is very powerful. Looking at colors can
make us feel happy, calm or excited. Every color has
psychological effect that a logo designer can use to his or her
advantage. Color can create varied emotions within
costumers. It is important to choose colors that best represent
the character or identity of the company, organization, or
service. Red is a warm color. It conveys fervor, passion and
excitement. Blue is cool, calm, and peaceful. Green is
associated with nature, growth and freshness. Rainbow
colored logos carry meanings that are friendly, fun and
youthful.
FREE FORM shapes also make use of basic shapes. Logo
designers, however, have to b careful with their placement.
Logos that are free-form should not appear as if they are
about to fall, loose, and unstable.
FONTS,TYPEFACE-The style of lettering or typeface speaks
a lot about the visual story of a logo. It can, for example, send
the right or wrong message.
PROPORTIONS,SIZE- Logos to be effective sgould be able
to work across an array of media applications. They should be
versatile and flexible for their many uses. Well designed logos
should look just as great billboards, streamers, posters, clothes,
stationaries, bags, etc.
UNIQUENESS AND INDIVIDUALITY- It is the wish of logo
designers to create logos that are elegant, meaningful and
timeles. The red Cross logo for example is undeniably one of
the effective and most popular logos in the world. There is just
something inexplicable about some logos. Many of them are
simple and yet legendary. It must be a wonderful feeling to
be able to create amazing logos!.

BASIC STEPS IN CREATING A DIGITAL LOGO

1. Visualize and sketch ideas- No designer has ever been

faulted for sketching too much. When ideas present
themselves, sketch them immediately. When they do not
present themselves, stop sketching and work on something
else. Give your mind a chance to refresh itself. When you are
ready to resume work, sketch other options. Just let your
creativity flow naturally. It is alright if pinpointing what it is that
you really like takes a long time. Often, the best solutions come
from the least expected type of a designer.

2. Scan to digitize or make the image appear on the

computer screen- Scan the sketch to a flash drive as a digital
image. To scan the image, you need a basic piece of
equipment known as scanner. A scanner enables you to
incorporate in your digital logos real world sketches and
drawings that you have made. A scanner is an essential tool
all logo designers who need to alter and enhanced their
designs digitally.
3. Get started with with image programs- Many drawing and
image software programs are available to create digital
logos. Some programs are downloadable or open source
(Photo Illustrator, Inkscape) amd can be learned easily. Start to
familiarize yourself with them. Practice makes perfect.Use their
website tutorial as well. Figuring out how to use a software
program starts with an understanding of all the features it
contain. After you open your logo in one, several control
panels appear on your desktop, one of which is long and
narrow.

III. WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED

A logo can give your company an easily recognized
visual symbol and may give the impression of the quality that
you company is promoting. A picture is indeed worth a
thousand words. The use of contrast between the space
(positive and negative) color (dark and light) and shape (big
and small) conveys meanings and visual representation.
Designers develop images to represent the ideas their
clients want to communicate. Images cab incredibly
poowerful and compelling tools oif communication,
conveying not only information but also moods and emotions.
People respond to images instinctively based on their
personalities, associations and previous experience.

II. WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW

Are you familiar with the Logo below? When and where do
you usually see this?

Here is the history behind this deped logo.

The Department of Education (Philippines) is one of the
major parts of the Philippine government system. As the
institution’s name suggests, its aim is to operate the country’s
system of basic education. It is headed by the Secretary of
Education, who is chosen by the President and approved by
the Commission on Appointments.
The history of the Department can be traced back to the
early Spanish period. At the time, the educational process
was primarily religion-oriented. The Educational Decree of
1863 stated that the so-called Superior Commission of Primary
Instruction should be founded. This organization is now
considered the DepED’s earliest predecessor.
The further evolution of the country’s educational system was
closely connected with the establishment of Aguinaldo’s
Republic followed by American rule. In 1916, the Department
of Public Instruction was reorganized. From now on, it was to
be led by a Secretary.
During World War II, the department was broken into two
ministries. In 1945, the organization adopted a new name of
the Department of Instruction, and in two years it was
renamed Department of Education. However, that wasn’t the
last time the organization changed its name: it also
happened in 1972, 1978, and 1982. Eventually, in 2001, the old
name was replaced by the current one, Department of
Education (DepEd).

LET US STUDY WHAT ARE THE DESIGN OF THIS LOGO, AND THE
MEANING BEHIND ALL THE DETAILS THAT HAVE BEEN USED.

Symbol

The DepED logo can be broken into three parts. The left
part of the larger lettering “DepED” is given in dark blue. Its
highlight is the unique “P” stylized as a burning torch, which is
used as a symbol of education. Knowledge and wisdom are
passed on from the teacher to student in the same way as the
flame from one torch starts the flame on another torch.
The lettering “ED” is given in red. The fact that the
organization’s name features two different colors and that the
“ED” is capitalized makes it easier to understand that it is an
abbreviation. The meaning of the abbreviation is given in
smaller letters below.

Colors
 The palette includes only three colors: red and blue on
the white background. The red is very bright and eye-
catching. It’s pretty close to classic red, but maybe just a tad
darker. By contrast, the shade of blue featured on the DepED
logo is rather muted, at least in comparison with the vividness
of the red.
Red seems the perfect fit for the torch design as it’s the color
of fire. Blue, in its turn, has been long known as the color
symbolizing mental processes, thinking, so it also goes well
with the educational theme.

HERE IS ANOTHER LOGO WITH THE DEFINITION OF THE DETAILS

AND HOW IT EVOLVED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS.

While a smiling bee has been present on the Jollibee

logo since 1978, the design has grown more professional and
distinctive since then.

The 2011 refresh

 This was a very subtle modification – you wouldn’t have
noticed unless you compared the two versions side by side.
There have been a couple of alterations in the way the bee’s
face is drawn (take a closer look at the nose or the tendrils, for
instance). The text was also altered, “b” probably most visibly.
The registered trademark sign moved up.

Font
 The insignia has gone the way from a rather elaborate
script to a comparatively minimalistic typeface. Due to the
rounded corners, it looks friendly and a bit plump. It can be a
modified version of the font called VAG Rounded Pro Black or
a similar font.

Colors

Red and black have been present on the Jollibee logo

since 1978. Out of all the colors used on the previous logos,
only these two and the white have survived.

III. WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED

Think Creatively One of the most important
considerations for logo design is the color palette. This is not a
superficial decision, color carries meanings and
communicates ideas.
By making an attractive logo, provinces can be
promoted and ca fascinate tourists. In making logo through
digital art, the principles of art should be considered. Contrast
is created using elements that are different from one another.
The artist uses emphasis to make one part of an artwork stand
out from the rest of the elements.

ACTIVITY 1:Based on the Logos presented, explain briefly

what you have learned about them.
 ACTIVITY 2:
Think your own product that you want to sell in the
market. Create your own logo for the product that you think
of. Be sure to consider the different elements and principles in
creating you own logo. You can use applications in making a
digital logo,If no applications available you can use available
materials at home such as bond paper, pencil, colored
pencils,etc.

II. WHAT TO LEARN

Comic Art is the creation of stylized or simplified
drawings for the purpose of telling a story, making a
point, or making people laugh. One form of this work is
the editorial or humor cartoon, such as seen on the Op
Ed pages of newspapers or in magazines such as the
New Yorker. Another familiar form is the comic book or
graphic novel; dramatic or fantastic stories told through
a series of drawings. Good drawing skill obviously is
essential in this
field, as is an ability to make those drawings expressive
and engaging.
A good example of comic art is comic strip. A
comic strip is a sequence of drawings arranged in
interrelated panels to display brief humor or form a
narrative, often serialized, with text in balloons and
captions. Traditionally, throughout the 20th and into the
21st century, these have been published in newspapers
and magazines, with horizontal strips printed in black-
and-white in daily newspapers, while Sunday
newspapers offered longer sequences in special color
comics sections.

Elements of comic strip.

Comics elements such as panels, gutters, and

captions usually are understood intuitively. However,
readers may not always be aware of, or exposed to the
terminology of the elements. Educators and parents can
explain these terms, such as speech and thought
bubbles, to guide them in their reading journey. For
readers who want to delve further into the mechanics
behind comics, try explaining the choice of composition
and colours in each panel.

If you know anyone who is unfamiliar with comics, here’s

a great visual to explain the different elements of a
comic strip:

II. WHAT SHOULD YOU KNOW
Concept in making cartoon character
Behind the realization of any cartoon character design
stands a well-thought-out concept, a lot of discussion, analysis
and important decisions so that we can make our ideas
come to life in the best possible way.
Here are GraphicMama’s 10 steps of making any concept of
cartoon character design a reality!
STEP 1: What is trendy right now?
The first step of the creative process would be to
conduct a thorough keyword research and find out what kind
of characters people are actually looking for.
STEP 2: Which subject should we choose?
 Now that we have the research’s results in our hands,
the next step would be to go through them and discuss each
one. Picking a subject out of the keyword results is not an easy
task. We have to weigh the pros and cons of all of them, the
potential they have, and then decide on a particular subject
STEP 3: How will the characters look like?
The fun begins! We’ve got the idea in our heads and
now it’s time to make it happen. At this point we would
develop several design concepts corresponding to the
keyword’s search results.
STEP 4: Which designs do we love the most to vectorize?
Now, the next step would be to sift out the best cartoon
character design mock-ups which would undergo a sketch-
to- vector transformation. To identify our favorites out of all,
we would thoroughly analyze our characters’ concepts and
search for these essential qualities: individuality,a clear
concept,a good presence,well-defined
features,uniqueness,positive connotations and more.
STEP 5: Which ones will get to the finale with a whole set?
After vectorizing the drawings, we go through them
once again and decide which ones will make it to the end
with a whole set of poses.
STEP 6: How many custom poses and what will they look like?
Time to think about what makes these particular
characters tick. What are their typical tools and equipment?
Which are their most favorite items? At this step, we would
conduct a thorough research of, generally, everything that
outlines their personalities and makes them who they really
are. Then, we would outline a plan for the set so that we can
come up with some awesome conceptual poses for the
specific type of characters, along with the typical must-have
poses they come in.
STEP 7: Which accessories are unique and typical for these
characters?
So, the process of creating the character’s set of poses
includes the actual drawing of the specific items that will
make the set unique, complete and distinguished..
STEP 8: How does the whole set come to life?
This is the step where we prepare and finalize the set. This
process includes arranging the character’s poses in a
particular way that corresponds to the their names, so that we
can achieve a well-organized and nicely presented set in the
end.
STEP 9: How are the characters called?
It’s time to personalize our still unnamed cartoon cuties.
Generally, all GraphicMama characters are friendly, smiley
and could fit into a large variety of project and designs.
Although, each one of them has their own name and
nickname, story and personality that makes them unique.
Steps in making cartoon character
1. Start by c reating a head
for the cartoon. The person's
head can be a circle, a flat
top with a curve underneath,
pear-shaped, oblong-
shaped, or any number of
other shapes.[1] For a simple
shape, start with a rounded
square
that you adapt as you add details to your drawing.

To make a rounded square, create something between a

circle and a square. It should have noticeable sides, but the
corners should be rounded.
 2. Create an outline for the
rest of your person. Use ovals,
circles, and lines to create a
rough sketch of the person.
For instance, you might use 2
overlapping circles or ovals to
create the chest and
stomach area. You might
exaggerate the belly on a
heavyset person
or the chest on someone with large muscles. Add lines
for limbs, placing ovals where the elbows and hands
should be.
This is similar to what you'd do if you were drawing a realistic
human figure so keep basic proportions in mind. If you're
having trouble, look at a photograph of a person standing in
a similar position. However, keep in mind that in cartoons,
some areas may be exaggerated while others are
underplayed.
3. Incorporate a line of
action along at least one
side of the body. A line of
action doesn't necessarily
refer to movement. Rather,
it's a curvy line you
incorporate into the figure to
give it a sense of dimension.
Typically, the line
curves in starting at the top of the head, then out
around the body, then in again at the bottom. Draw this
line on at least one side of your person, using it to guide
the details you add in.
 4. Add in guidelines for
different parts of the body.
Guidelines help you decide
how to cover the body and
fill in details. Add vertical
center lines to the face
shape and torso shapes.
However, depending on how
the person is standing, the
center
line may be a curved arc pushing out slightly to the left
or right. The curve helps you add dimension to the
drawing, as people aren't flat figures but 3D.
Horizontal guidelines may curve upward or downward,
depending on where the person is looking and the shape of
their face. For instance, you may draw a horizontal guideline
across their face to determine the eye and nose placement.
5. Fill in details for the
head, starting with the eyes.
Consider what you want your
character to express and use
their face to create that
emotion. Set the eyes on the
horizontal guideline and the
nose close to the crossing
point between the horizontal
and vertical lines. The mouth should be below the main
horizontal guideline. Use circles or ovals for the eyes, a
small hook or curve for the nose, and a curve up or
down for the mouth. Add hair with straight or curvy lines,
bringing it in around the head.
Close-set eyes that are tilted down toward the center with
eyebrows that match can indicate anger. Big eyes that are
ever-so-slightly cross-eyed can make a character seem cute
and innocent. If you want a character to look surprised, try
lifting the eyebrows a little higher in an arc and use wide-open
eyes.
 6. Sketch in the torso and
the limbs. Round out the limbs
using straight lines for the
upper arms and round lines
for the lower arms. Try straight
lines for the thighs, and if the
calves are exposed, round
lines for the calves. Add in
basic details for the hands,
like
a closed fist: a rectangle with 3 lines in it to create the
fingers, along with a thumb out to the side.
A pear shape often works well for the torso and stomach. If
you want a character with lots of muscles, try an inverted
pear shape.
7. Add the finishing
touches like clothes and
shoes. These don't have to
be elaborate. You can just
add a line halfway down
the arm to create a sleeve,
then make the fabric come
out a little bit around the
arm at the top. Use a
curved line for a basic
collar. Then, draw a
line curving down around the waist for where the shirt
ends and the pants or skirt begins. Make a basic shape
for the pants, skirt, or shorts by adding horizontal lines on
the legs then making the shape expand slightly outside
the leg line.
Add in basic rounded shapes for shoes.
8. Fill in the sketch with a
pen or marker. Once
you're happy with what
you have, color the lines
with a dark pen. Be
careful, as these lines will
be permanent. Once
you've added them and
the marker is completely
dry, erase your guidelines
and other pencil
marks.

V. WHAT TO LEARN
After learning the steps and procedure in making a
character, here are some information how to put the
character to life. In fiction, a character (sometimes
known as a fictional character) is a person or other
being in a narrative (such as a novel, play, television
series, film, or video game). The character may be
entirely fictional or based on a real-life person

ets see what a cartoon character looks like in

different emotions.
 Cartoon characters also exist to entertain, some of
them are found in posters, movies, ads, televisions and
so much more. Here are some examples of cartoon
character applying in different mediums.
This is a poster where
cartoon characters are used
to give message about saving
the earth.

This cartoon characters

expresses their own opinions.

Elements of Character (Movie, stories)

Round vs. flat
 Flat characters are two-dimensional, in that they
are relatively uncomplicated. By contrast, round
characters are complex figures with many different
characteristics that undergo development, sometimes
sufficiently to surprise the reader.
Example of round Character
Gru from Despicable Me Movie is an
example of round character because
we see many sides of him and he
reveals many emotions as the movie
goes by.

More example of round Character

Darna Captain Barbell Mr.

Fredricksen
Example of flat character

Dynamic vs. static

 Dynamic characters are those that change over
the course of the story, while static characters remain
the same throughout. An example of a popular
dynamic
character in literature is Ebenezer Scrooge, the
protagonist of A Christmas Carol. At the start of the story,
he is a bitter miser, but by the end of the tale, he
transforms into a kind-hearted, generous man.
Example of Dynamic

Many personalities that changed

throughout the story. he was bad from
he start and became softer at the end

Example of static.

Wicked step mother. One or two

personalities that never changes
throughout the time.

Regular, recurring and guest characters

In television, a regular, main or

ongoing character is a character who
appears in all or a majority of
episodes, or in a significant chain of
episodes of the series. Regular
characters may be both core and
secondary ones. Patric star is an
example of regular
character.

A recurring character or supporting character

often and frequently appears from time to time during
the series' run. Recurring characters often play major
roles
 in more than one episode, sometimes being the main
focus.

A guest or minor character is one who acts only in

a few episodes or scenes. Unlike regular characters,
the guest ones do not need to be carefully
incorporated into the storyline with all its ramifications:
