Draw on Blockchain : Ladies of Asia Logo and Banner Making Off 亞細亞之美LOGO和BANNER

Hello! Last week, one of the project I joined recently had launched, it is called @ladiesofasia. (link) Thank you giving me a chance to make a logo, banner and other post decoration like divider line and the post closing banner. And I would like to share more about the process of making those deco and some ideas too.

_{大家好，上星期我參與的另一個合作計劃 @ladiesofasia也開始活動了，而謝謝組員給我發揮了小宇宙，畫了LOGO，BANNER和其他帖子裝飾。在下一個活動帖前，讓本宮來分享一下過程和一些創作時想到的點子吧。亞細亞之美我亂改的，單純覺得亞細亞這字發音好酷。}

Logo

The colour I pick is Pantone's colour of 2018, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet. I think many art and design fans may know this. I think it fits us and trendy too, haha. As we are also involved in the crypto world, which is a new era of technology and economic things, and we are here as a creative author here on Steemit. (but, well, we use cosmetic with UV block, lol)

_{今年PANTONE的年度色是紫外光，這PANTONE算是喜歡美術跟設計都會看一下的東西了（所以是下年再轉的概念），不過看它解釋，也滿合適我們吧？學習跟想像，我們也投身了區塊和虛擬幣的新時代，也在STEEMIT上發揮不同創意。（雖然我們的化妝品都在擋UV，精神上接受它好了～）}

Pantone reason of the colour of choice:

We are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination. It is this kind of creative inspiration that is indigenous to PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and potential to a higher lever. From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come.
by Leatrice Eiseman, The Pantone Color Institute's executive director

And for the warm colourful watercolour background, as we are writing in team, introducing the same topic in different culture/places, a mixture of colour is quite suitable. Watercolour and the handwrite font make it lively, playful and warm, which are the image of the group after I did a little research on them.

_{至於背景的水彩，我覺得因為是合作寫作，就像不同調色在調和，在一個主題下碰撞與發現，比起單色更有代表性吧。而用水彩和手寫風字體，也是在看過組員們的資料後的得到靈感，活潑、有生命力和溫柔的感覺。}

There are also four stars in surrounding LoA. It is the Epsilon Aquarii, which also known as “Star of Girls” in Asian astronomy. (Epsilon Aquarii)

_{而LoA有四顆星包圍著，這是女宿星（嗯，我其實只會鬼宿和星宿）。強調了亞太女性這點，來一點東方神秘感吧。}

Banners

They are the portraits of us ^^ At the beginning, @livinguktaiwan suggested landmarks, and I later though that may be flower or animals also a good idea too. However, later, I thought that landmarks, flower and animals seems too board and not so representative for the part of "ladies"/human part. So I focus on member. I visited blogs of our ladies.

From the left hand side: @nanosesame is drawing, @wanderlass a cat lover, @kawaiipower is lovely Pikachu, @mrspointm is a foodie and also share cooking, @jrvacation is traveling, @elizacheng with different kinds of life sharing and free writing, @livinguktaiwan and @travelgirl are traveling too. To be honest, traveling is a comment topic, and seems overlap by several members. BUT! There are differences! Although we share traveling, the style are different. @jrvacation traveling Japan with cute; @livinguktaiwan is intellectual; @travelgirl is active.

I didn't give up the local elements, I add details (may be not easy to be seen T_T) to the characters.

Pink dolphin → HK
Sampaguita → Philippines
Pikachu → Japan
Vanda Miss Joaquim → Singapore
Rafflesia → Malaysia
Taiwan Black Bear → Taiwan
Koala → Australia
(Thank you members providing ideas and information!)

_{是各組員的卡通肖像。開始時LUT小姐提議了地標，我再想想花跟小動物也不錯，更可愛一點，後來個人覺得「人」也是重要的元素啊，所以又拜訪了組員的BLOG，再挑選大家的特色來描繪。nanosesame是畫畫，wanderlass是個愛貓的美女，kawaiipower是可愛的比卡超，mrspointm是愛吃又會煮的新任太太，jrvacation是遊日達人，elizacheng是各種生活分享寫作的母親，livinguktaiwan跟travelgirl也是旅遊家。老實說好像旅遊這點有點重複，但其實大家都各有特色的，好像jrvacation是可愛型，livinguktaiwan是知性型，travelgirl是活躍生動型。}

然後我也沒放棄地區元素，所以也暗暗在大家身上加了大家提議的東西（詳細還請滑回上面吧... 帖好像有點長了）。謝謝大家提供了各種點子，豐富了我的靈感。

Divider

The divider I still using the watercolour background as the line and the short form of project name. I add a compass too, geographical element is also an important element of LoA. But I didn’t label anything like “Asia” or “East. Because it will be a bit “too much”, like every think say “Asia Asia Asia” in post, so I make it as simple as it can. lol.

_{分隔線我也沿用了水彩跟縮寫，然後加了一個小小指南針來強調一下「地方特色」也是重點之一。但沒有加上指出亞太的東西，因為帖子本來就是在說亞太了，連分隔線都在叫喊亞太亞太的話，有點吵^^ less is more 而我的解釋卻越寫越長 （汗）}
