1. Critique the logo
Does the logo relate to the architecture, galleries, and collections?
Do you have any suggestions based upon a collection surrounding portraits?
Although the logo looks more like just a typeface, I for some reason really like this logo. I love the font that was chosen and I also like how all three words are the same size, one not overpowering the other. I see many similarities to the museum but also some differences. The museum is very different in it's collections while this logo is very simple and straightforward. But, the museum's architecture and layout was very manageable and basically dummy-proof which is much like the logo, plain and uncomplicated. If they were to change the logo I would just like to see maybe a bit of color as well as the words not being written out in full (something like the V & A logo). Overall, I really don't have a problem with this logo even though I did have a problem with the National Gallery.

2. Self portrait
Which portrait best identifies your personality, mood, time period in which you would have lived, clothing, etc... (3 - 4 sentence caption)...
I chose Emma, Lady Hamilton as the portrait that best identifies with me. I'm going to be honest, I'm not exactly sure why but I think the reason I was drawn to it was because i really liked the position that she was in for her portrait. She seemed to be a confident, outgoing, friendly and sociable person which are 4 qualities I see in myself. She also had some sort of headband-like accessory around her head and it reminded me of something a hippy would wear. Embarassingly enough, I have always dreamed of being a hippy and living in that generation (that is why I have colored my dress the way I have). I also put a Jewish star necklace because I am proud to be Jewish as well as a peace sign symbolizing hippies as well as wanting peace in the world since I see myself as always being the peace maker in situations.
3. Study abroad friend
Which portrait best identifies the personality, physical attributes, mood, costuming, etc of a study abroad friend... (3 - 4 sentence caption)...
I chose to represent Lady Ottoline Morrell with Ally Stavis. Lady Ottoline was a society hostess and for some reason I really saw Ally being wonderful as a hostess in this way. She befriended writers and artists and liked intellectual talks. I see Ally being famous one day, making a big name for herself and being friends or acquaintances with big time writers and artists. I also of course had to add the wonderfully large sunglasses Ally wears night and day, her blackberry that she is on constantly and her awesome Marc Jacobs handbag. I don't see Ally anywhere without these 3 essential and must have objects.

Oh Mandy. I chose Octavia Hill to represent Mandy. Octavia Hill always helped house the poor and was involved in numerous charitable activities. Mandy wants to work as a non-profit, social action person in the future so I saw a lot of similar personality traits between Octavia and Mandy. I of course had to add Mandy's sunglasses that she will wear any second the sun is out, her scarf which she has a thousand of, her watch that she never takes off even though the glass is cracked, a heart on her sleeve because she wears her heart on her sleeve, and I couldn't forget the love of zebra so I colored her shirt in a zebra pattern.

I chose to represent Karl as John Bunyan because he was a writer and a preacher. Every time I speak with Karl he always has the most inspiring and well-thought out things to say, i'm intrigued every time. He also is very involved in spoken word and rapping so I once again saw a lot of similarities between Bunyan and Karl. Bunyan was holding a book in his portrait so I titled that book Preacher Rapper Guide because that's Karl's life. I also added Karl's huge headphones that he has on him 24/7, as well as an ipod to represent how important music is in Karl's life.

I chose to represent Sean as Sir William Turner Walton. When I saw Walton's picture I immediately thought of Sean. I just see Sean sitting outside looking over the ocean with mountains in the background smoking a pipe, drinking some brandy and writing his novels. He loves to write and also LOVES the beatles so I imagine him writing a novel on some aspect of the Beatles life when he gets out of college.
