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.

Learning Illustration: 4 : Colour Swatches and Gradient ( Adobe Illustrator )

Writing this down before I hit the bed. Just watched a movie with Winnie, "The Croods". I had already seen the movie years ago. But I wanted her to watch it. Anyway, I am getting off-topic, This would be a short and fast catch up on the illustration class as it's getting late. So much to do, so much to learn, so little time. In the class by EnvatoTuts+ , Mr Dan taught us things about colour swatches. It was all about colours. The usage of colour swatches for faster colouring. Adding customised colours to the swatches. And the most interesting one was the colour theme which uses the adobe cloud and shows a variety of colour combinations for a vibrant and eye-catching result. The community's most picked and voted colour combinations and adding them to the colour swatches can bring life to a dull illustration. And for people who don't like adobe clouds, we were given websites where we can pick other good colour combinations as well. And we were asked to fill colou...

Making Cartoon Aeroplanes for a game in Playstore

My brother is seriously a workaholic. Sometimes I worry about him for his disregard for foods while working. Whenever he takes a leave or have a holiday, he sits in front of the laptop, starts working on codings for rest of the day. He makes apps for android devices. I must say, I found the apps quite good for someone who's only experienced for a year. I am proud of him. I love the passion for learning. It helps us grow. Anyway, so my bro has made this game. The game is in the alpha stage. Although it's already in the Playstore (click to check) , he is changing a whole lot of the game. That includes the core design of the models. It's a fun casual a-good-time-killing game that involves a mini plane that flies on an endless loop. The player has to dodge the obstructions as they fly and collect points. My bro Sour knows that I am learning to draw and create vector models. He gave me a project on making the model of the aeroplane, but with 5 diff colours. Red, Blue, Green...

"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...
