Try strarting over. Then, draw up some basic sketches of what the business does and embodies, write these things down, too. Then, with all that different stuff, try to draw something that looks good. To me, that just looks like a shifty Barbie logo

This. Don't just go with the first thing that comes in your mind. Take the name of the business, come up with synonyms, related words, etc. As many words as you can. Then go from there.
Also are you are you using Photoshop or Illustrator? Cause the line quality looks like shit. You need to design logos in illustrator so that can work for business cards, or something else small, or blown up into a billboard and not lose quality. Also her tit looks fucking weird. But I would just throw the whole thing out and start over. It's not going anywhere.

drop shadow, noise, blur

helps give an object a more realistic/life-like appearance.

I was just being an asshole, but yes it's something pretty easy to achieve. The shadows shown on the original image are way better but you get the ideia..

Gradient, noise.
For the text you set its opacity to 0% and apply dropshadows (on the new version of photoshop you can simply add a new layer of shadows in the layer style panel by pressing the button "+" if you're using an older version of PS simply duplicate the text layer and change it for a bigger and weaker shadow (for this example i used 3 shadows, so you would need 3 text layers in this case) .

By the way i really like his color pallette , you might wanna check this book "Color Matching: Using Color in Graphic Design" it has some interessting color combinations.

I hope i've helped anon

Good video.

Bumping this into a design-related (or art related) video thread.

Take out the text on the shirt on the left and it's actually pretty great.
The one on the right is... not so great. Fonts contrast each other in a really bad way and the photo just seems like an afterthought with how blurry it is.
Keep the one on the left. The guy knew what he was doing with modern design, especially dealing in music.

This.

i wanted to use the original picture but he said he only had this version of it, so i just had to make do with an instagram photo of his.

That CG was done by rendering software that had heavy light/shadows to create severe shadows on the characters. Then the light part is made transparent so the shadows are what's left.

If you're trying to do this (shittily) with video, theoretically this should work.

I would shoot black-and-white in low-key lighting (so, bright keylight) on a well-lit background (so you can distinguish shadows on the subject from background). That will create figures with sharp contrast (see pic, but light the background so subject's shadows don't bleed to background) Then increase threshold in post under 'levels' or something so you just get white/black, then key out the white.

Otherwise you can learn how to do CG or animate.

Vectors can scale to any size without loss of quality

Vector are mathematical creation. "The area between these points must be this color".

Bitmap is a grid. "The pixel at A1 is black, A2 is black, A3 is grey, etc"

As suck vectors can be scaled up (ie, to cover a plane or building) or down (an icon) without any issues.

Scaling up the bitmaps will result in a pixelated look (the squares get bigger) and scalling down will loose details and sharpess (the squares only get so small, afterward the software removes some of them).

Both are good, but they have different strenght and applications.

Open this.. This is a bitmap /raster image press ctrl+ five times on your browser to zoom it

Now do the same with this one

This second one is a vector file, noticed the difference?

You can't be serious

I rate it a 1, if I can't tell what your logo is supposed to represent at first glance I'm not giving you any higher than a 2, and it's way too busy on top of that

don't worry I've got your back OP

>>249982

Make him smaller, color correct to match her skin tones and make her eyes staring at him

pretty easy to do in PS, grab your base image as a base layer and slap a new layer ontop, fill it with color of your choice, set layer to 'overlay' :^) for a more uniform look set the base image as black and white

>>249927
it can be easy inspired by that.
create a form first. after that, change the padding styles. then add a background with linear-gradient (you can see on the stackoverflow)

you should know the css and I guess, you already know.

You can use the linear gradient effect in css.

> pretty easy to do in PS,
yes but he should write this in html/css, I guess

>>249945
Not on about the form, I'm talking about the background

It looks all wrong, I know. I was just thinking of making a dumb presentation on what could've made Super Smash Bros. for Wii U better.

after effect is very cool for motion design and compositing and you can also use with premier to mount

Dude, use Premiere pro.

i wish there was a board called aesthetics that would i guess be a mix of /wg/ /p/ /fa/ /gd/ and maybe /s/ and maybe /tv/, with some more architecture

would be more useful then relying on google images

Here, a cringeworthy sketch of how its supposed to look, say my pattern is the one in the gif, and I want to make it a brush.. to be the path of anything I want it to be, in this example, a part of a circumference.

So is there anyway to do this? or

So, after I started thinking about it, and made the ends match the start of the symbols, I notice that you can't warp symbols in flash, which is total bullshit, therefore, I can't make a very good corner, and things start to overlap for less wide stuff.

Also, I had another idea of merely making lots of brushes, where every brush is a frame, and then putting it all together, but that sounds like tedious work, is there not an easier way?

The symbols don't wrap, so you can't make tight curves with it. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
