Woodstock Neighborhood Logo

Well, this is it! This is the final product of my logo for the Woodstock Neighborhood! Our class has spent most of the term working on this (and other side projects), and now we have a week to work on our Neighborhood Events Poster (Yikes!). My poster is designed for the beginning of a Community Garden in the Woodstock Neighborhood (it's so fitting!), and there's so much to do! Especially when they're due in a week and a half...
Anyway, back to the logo. I'd like to know your thoughts and feelings on the design of this. Is it working? Is it not working? What could I do to improve this? How do you feel about the colors? What kind of "mood" are you getting from the image? Please let me know, as all constructive criticism is appreciated. :)

What have I been up to?

I've been focusing a lot of time on school and work lately, and haven't had as much time as I'd like to write this blog. Okay, that's not ENTIRELY true. I haven't been completely sure of what I've wanted to blog about, other than graphic designers.
But! I have figured out a way to do that, make it fun, and teach myself and others at the same time. Inspiration has hit me from Heek's Hecoxian Ways blog. Once a weekish I will be writing an entry of "People You Should Know" ranging from graphic designers, printers, zoo keepers... huh? Just kidding. All I know is that I have a list of people I'd like to do more research on and people that I haven't even discovered yet that I want to do more research on and share that with you. So stay tuned! :)

Also, the Neighborhood Logo Project is due next Tuesday and our next project is an event for that neighborhood. Once the Logo is done I'll be sure to share it.
I have also started a side project of a silly concept that was brought up from a friend at a gathering this last weekend. I want to make a mock up of a tea box sporting "New! Old Man Young's: Earl Grey Tea" featuring my lovely friend Clark Young's face. This I will also post once it's complete.

Cheers!
