A Few Logos I made heretofore

Well, I used to make logos with Photoshop before. Before learning this new illustrator thing. Even tho they seemed pretty exquisite and could make me content, I am going to stop making logos using royalty-free images. For one, it's not completely self-made. And many detest the idea of making a unique piece out of not so unique. Like the article (click here) explains their views.

Before I pack my logo making case, and shift from Photoshop to Illustrator, I would, however, like to share a few of the works done by me.

The first one is for a Thrifting page based in Mumbai. I'd highly recommend checking the newly made startup. Go check the page here: Malyvuz . She sells handpicked, washed, sanitized unique thrifted clothes reasonably priced, and with free gifts!

The logo was a bit too pink for her taste. I had to tweak it a bit and provide her with few more samples, as follows:

Good? Well nah. She seems to like a basic round base for the background. And so my next offerings were :

She liked it a lot. But then the bubble on the top right started bothering her. And after a few trials and errors, I came up with this which she decided to go with as well :

I liked Arial and other basic fonts on the logo more, but she insisted to go with this font. And customer is always right. Nonetheless, it was a fun and learning experience for me.

A few logos I made in this period will be attached here and with that, I will end the blog here. Sadly I have lost most of the files to showcase, but 2-3 would work fine I guess. After all this blog is just to keep a track of the skills I learn and acquire rather than a sheet of portfolio.

"A Hello" - illustration by Dex

Remember what I said in the last blog? The flag with the text created in the last class, that gave me an idea for my next illustration. So I started with a similar box of colours to create the art I was visioning. My idea was to wrap the boxes and clone them and place each other upside down to make a 'perspective view'. And then draw a girl and a guy sitting inside the box minding their own business while their pets being social. Might be the start of a Hello. This was the sketching process. Of course not the initial concept sketch. That one is way too gibberish to understand. After colouring, it would look better I promise. After colouring and shading, the task was to create their pets. A furry dog for the lady and a brown bigger doggo for the guy. The concept was kind of like this. Now, to bring them to lively dogs, colour...

Learning Illustration: 5 : Envelope Distort

I was supposed to write this on 14th June. These past two days I didn't get time to do anything nor to write this. I found a Logo contest from IGG very late and the deadline was on the 16th. I made 4 logos and 3 slogans in different formats in the two days. Was such hectic. I'll write about that in the next blog. For now, I shall write what I learned in the last class of Envato+ on the 12th and 13th of June. It was all about Envelope Distort which can be found on the left side of the Illustrator in the toolboxes. First on texts and then on objects. These tools are so unique and interesting. The first was being Liquify. I mean warp which can be used to give the effects of liquify. You drag the text downward in a manner how a liquid would behave. Cool Ehh? The next tool was Twirl. Man, this is a live drilling machine of Illustrator. As you hold the effect, it keeps spinning and a...

Learning Illustration with YouTube: My Journey in Adobe Illustration : 1

So I have been making some logos for a while now. But it's incomplete without learning to make it the proper way. And there comes the Vector Art. Installed Adobe Illustration. Had to go for the cc6 version as my pc runs on win 8.1 and the newer versions require the pc to be on windows 10. (God I hate win 10). So later I came to the realisation that the cc6 and the older versions are incapable of turning the corners of an object to rounded ones. One must copy the shape, transform it to a rounded cornered one from the drop-down window, use the tool "Slice" and replace the target. If it's going over the head for some people, bear with me, please. I had to install the newer version cc 17. I think that is the latest update as far as it doesn't ask you to have your windows upgraded to 10 but it comes with a new feature. The 'rounding corner option' introduced from this version turned to be a saviour and let you bypass all the 'to-dos' tasks mentioned e...
