The Making of Logo Design

On this blog I'll be talking about my adventure on how I created my 3 logo designs. First of all, the photo below are some of the sketches that I made to come up with my final logo in Adobe Illustrator.

 

It was not easy to think of your own logo especially this is my first time to create or make a logo of my own. I may not be an expert to use Adobe Illustrator but I really did my best to come up with something that I like. I do love sketching that's why I chose pencil to be the object of my first logo.

The next 3 photos are my final Logo Design that I created using Adobe Illustrator.

Final Logo: 

Combination Mark Logo

For my Combination mark logo, I just traced my sketch. Made few changes from color to style. I used pen tool to traced the sketch and text tool to type the word. Grouped them as one.

Brandmark Logo

For my Brandmark logo, I decided to use triangle shape to make it fit with the letter A. I just add the word studio.

Wordmark Logo

For my Wordmark logo, I used text tool to come up with my wordmark logo.

Webpage Design

My next blog is about Webpage Design. Visit this tutorial link to learn more on how to create a fabric textured web layout using Photoshop.

The webpage design that I followed from the tutorial is divided into 8 groups these are the header, navigation, featured area, portfolio, services, blog, footer, and copyright.

Header group is composed of the logo and the header background. The logo was made from this tutorial. I tried studying the Adobe Illustrator but it was unsuccessful that's why I decided to use Photoshop instead. I used layer style for the background and some different brushes to make some fine lines on the background. For the dotted line, I used the define pattern. Navigation group, I used text tool for the words, and layer style for the active tab. Featured group is composed of the button, image slider, navigation bullet and some text. I used layer style to some layers and used clipping mask for the image slider. Services group, this was the hardest layer that I made. I need to make a 3D room and spotlights to make it realistic. Portfolio group is composed of different kinds of images that I browsed through the internet. I made 15 boxes then I created clipping mask from each boxes. Blog group same thing what I did from the portfolio, I created clipping mask and some layer style. For the Footer group and Copyright group I just repeat what I did from my Header group. For the Twitter bird image I just look for it from the internet.

I learned a lot from this tutorial especially the uses of the layer style and other tools. Learned new things such as convert the layer to Smart Object and Create Clipping Mask. I enjoyed doing this activity.
