After looking at some pointers from my lovely peers in my group, I see I wasn’t far off from improving. Nevertheless, it didn’t mean there wasn’t a lot of work put in to make this chart that displayed two of my great hobbies along with my initials at the top in a cubic shape. I took a look and see what needed to be done. The short solution is to redo some of the drawings from paintbrush into pen and resizing and positioning the walls. I would like to lend a hand and lead on a journey of how I improved my logo one step at a time.
The first thing I took care of was the squares. They didn’t line up properly and didn’t have a size that fit with the rest. It took me some time to figure out how long they are despite they are on an angle. I decided it be best to turn the two walls from rectangle into squares and scale down the length and angle until it matches it up perfectly. It really wasn’t easy to do as the program kept locking the part into the wrong place.
Next, I decided to give all of my drawn objects an overhaul, starting with the music note. I used the pen tool and created a straight outline of the note and then adjust the curves to make it more round than flat. Next was my initials which are all redone in pen too and made sure it angles well with the cube and fits in the frame. Finally, the game controller was saved for last and it took a lot of work in. With the pen tool, I was able to draw a sleeker image of the controller and created curves on the handles before giving it a little decoration with the buttons and joy stick.
Once I stepped back, it felt good to see the way it came out. It came out better than I imagined.
