Thesis: Logo Design II

Here, I've taken the final two from the previous post and have started adding more of a sproutlike, or illustrative look. I decided to keep it clean with an actual sprout coming out of it. Still working in black and white though.

Thesis: Logo Design

So the name for my thesis project is officially "Sprout". Here's my first go at the logo. Which font do you like?

Thesis Update: Flow of Information

Here's a chart showing the flow of information for my thesis project.

First the system/monitor picks up crying or change in either room or child temperature and alerts the parent with suggestions as to what is wrong. The parents then, if unable to get to the child at that instant, turn on a recording or pulse lights. This helps the child feel comforted and think there is someone in the room. The timer will alert the parent that they still haven't checked on the baby and will keep going every few minutes until the parent shuts it off. This time record will be placed in a memory bank so parents can see a graph of how long they've waited, which assists in forming sleep habits, etc.

Thesis Update: Webbing and Research

Here's a few scans of the way I've been organizing and simplifying the information I have learned before concept sketches.

Babies!

Nope, I'm not pregnant. But I've read enough books on babies to get a degree on child care. Well, maybe not, but I now know the proper method of burping a baby.

My goal is to design a product that will assist new parents in monitoring and soothing newborns while developing structured sleep cycles. This will include temperature control, routine development, auditory and visual stimulation, as well as providing a method of monitoring the child while the caregiver leaves for a few minutes (for example: showering).

Now it's back to creating the presentation due Tuesday! Wish me luck!
