This is the original prototype that I made in class with one of the teachers. He had brought in some images off the Internet for us to mess around with and see how we could use different images and overlay them in order to have a final picture as our 'company logo'. The example name used was 'Fish Eye' and I really liked the product I had made so I decided to keep it and eventually use it.
This was the first step I took towards actually making my logo. I saved and put my images into Adobe Photoshop and then opened them both. I took the image that was to go on top (the starfish) and used the 'magic wand tool' on the left hand side to cut out the image from its background. From there I needed additional assistance from the teacher to alter the background of the cut out starfish so that I didn't copy a black background with it onto the beach image.
This image is of the nearly finished logo. By this time, I had put the image of the starfish on top of the image of the beach but was trying to find the right font. Luckily for me, the font tab in Adobe Photoshop shows you a sample of letters for each font. I started from the top with 'A' and saw it pretty quickly. When I found the correct font, I had to choose the font colour. I realised that I couldn't use black since the edges were black and it wouldn't show up so I used the next best thing: white.
This was the final product: polished, finished, and ready for use. I am really proud of the end result. Needless to say for me, none of this was done without assistance. Again, I'm still unfamiliar with Mac Books and how the applications work but I'm getting there.
