Description:
This project was probably one of my most enjoyable ones. When you first see it you think ah gradients. No gradients use here, it is all LINE ART or wooodcut/etching. In other words this was designed for screen print and is a 3 color design and can be reproduced in one color without losing the shading. If you go here http://www.logomotive.net/closeups.htm it will give you a better example of the detail I am talking about. The client sent me some T shirts and I was amazed out how well the detail held up, hardly any line detail was lost.

ReplyI really can't stand it when people do half assed jobs! This however is the whole ass, perhaps J Lo's ass to emphasise how well assed this is! Top quality work if u 'ass' me....
Reply@ Linda, yeah took a little longer than an average design due to the fact that this was my first design applying this technique using andromeda for the first time.*@Areddskin, thanks bud.*@Ternacious, ha ha OH yeah thanks. The nice thing about the line art is at a distance the Tshirts look like a smooth gradient. It was fun doing, I love the old school ways they did stuff and the look it creates.
Replyyou too.. pick a window.. your leaving!
ReplyHa but not by myself bro.
ReplyOK, this post is for those of you wondering about the shading technique. I have been asked by MANY. I wish I would have documented my technique. the most important part is understanding lighting and shading and creating a quality GS(grayscale).I created drew the shark,added shading I scanned in PS and used a great program called Andromeda cutline and 3screens. I opened the scan @ a high res 300 plus and played around with the different effects/screens. I saved the shark in black and white and converted to vector. The rest was done by hand and aid of illustrative programming. Like I said I should have made a tutorial, but Andromeda software is a good start.Go get it guys and tell em Logomotive sent ya LOL!
ReplyBTW, I'm a terrible teacher LOL!

ReplyOutstanding technical achievement here and a truly captivating result! Truly wonderful work.
ReplyOkay, fair enough, but I'm sure that I'm better then you in billiards :)
ReplyThanks Nav! and all you other great designers. It's always uplifting and humbling to hear, especially when your struggling. It's a good picke me upper :) Now if I can get as good as Simon at the intricate detailed stuff :)*Royak, er I mean Rokac, anytime you just name the place :)
ReplyMike, how could you, of all people, be struggling? You're easily one of THE best logo designers working today. EASILY. When I tell people about my inspiration, your name comes up. Others have said it, and I'll say it too, virtually every one of your uploaded logos should be in the Gallery. I think most, if not all, people on this site hold you in the highest regard. So to see you say that you're struggling is really distressing. I know times are tough now, but if you are having a rough time, man, the rest of us are fuXX0red.
ReplyJon thanks. I guess it's more about the struggles of satisfying the client. Seems in this business everything works the same, you get tons of work and requests at the same time when you have no mojo, then when you do have your 'mojo' you get the 'draggers' (clients that can't decide). It's Never gonna change just part of the business I guess. I have always felt that clients are all on the same wavelength. They want to start process all at the same time, they want to wrap it up at the same time. Always been a Feast or Famine. Weird.
ReplyAwesome... I never knew about the program!!! I can't wait to check it out! :D
ReplyThat is some seriously impressive line work!
ReplyAwesome.How much time did it take you to do all of this line work?
Reply%22Jon thanks. I guess it's more about the struggles of satisfying the client.

When I have time, they are few and far between. When I'm swamped, they keep piling on and dragging out....**Great logo and process btw!
