deathtaker26 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 So I've been taking a lot of tutorials and been working with text effects lately, I'm going to use this post to show off some of my work. The reason I'm doing this is to work on My AA and Typography. So if you want your name in a certain text effect or even the name of a group/company Just let me know in a reply as well.I'll be updating this frequently.I converted the images to 100dpi I didn't want to down size them too much from 300dpi.Gallery(2):>!

Chief Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well, you might be on the right track… Just not there yet.Also, "Think Innovative" doesnt even make sense. It should be "Think Innovatively" And that just sounds retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtaker26 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well besides the text does the effect look good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 @Crest:> Well besides the text does the effect look good?You tell me… Made in about 3 minutes, no tutorial.http://localhostr.com/file/Rddjx3y/soulz2.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtaker26 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Oh the tutorial I used was basically giving me the style, I was just looking at it, it was an illustrator tutorial. I thought of the text design and I made it in one class period I'm using a tutorial for different effects that I've never tried not simpler ones like this.

Chief Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 When following a tutorial, I would reccomend that you play with the styles at the end to come up with your own in the end. Its also a great way to learn what all you can do by mixing options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxaria Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Looks pretty plain, I don't see anything that actually required some skill, sorry to say. Like Chief showed, can do the same in about 3 minutes or less. If it takes that long to pump out a logo, it's either not very unique or the person is just a super awesome and skilled artist.

I wasn't really working on the main text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxaria Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Also now that I see you have named the design Metallic Vintage, you may want to do some research on what vintage actually is in terms of design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I don't get how it's vintage, but that's unimportant. The effects are meh, Chief did better. The black outline is pretty meh, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtaker26 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Okay, I'll do better on the next one. and idk my teacher called it vintage >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuu Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Chief, I fucking love the second logo you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtaker26 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 First of all it's commercial art class. and I wasn't messing around with effects I was working with different effects. Stuff I haven't tried that I am still learning.Just Updated the Gallery, added 1 new text style, I don't really like this one so much :|… the texture kills it for me.

Lynxaria Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I like the second much better then the first, but that's just because it's actually different, and has a style to it in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drummerpete Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 The logo should define your company. You seem to be trying any style that you "like" instead of one that would fit your company.What does your "company" even do? Whatever it does, the logo should reflect it.

deathtaker26 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 lol whut? they aren't logos, I'm working with text effects, I'm not just doing it for the word soulz I was waiting for people to post their names and stuff, I have 3 more coming soon with 3 peoples names.
