Oh My Aching Brain
My friend Julie’s boyfriend is starting some kind of clothing company (I think that’s what it is) called VADiO INC (lowercase “i” intended). He would like to make some stickers, but needed a graphic designer to make him some samples for ideas. Since I have a little experience in that area- Julie asked me to hook it up. He’s not looking for a logo, per se; just the name of the company- done in different ways.
Now I am pretty darned proficient at Paint Shop… It’s so easy a caveman could do it. I know the basics of Photoshop, but I’m no wizard. So today I set out to teach myself some nifty Photoshop text effects. Because I don’t know how to start at the beginning of anything- I went right to the hard (aka “Advanced”) stuff. That almost caused my brain to explode so I went to intermediate stuff and moved up from there. It was all worth it though because I learned a lot of new things today and learning is always a good thing. I’ve been at it all stinkin’ day and Julie got several emails worth of different samples. I’m glad she asked me to do this because I’ve been putting off falling in love with Photoshop for a while now and it was time. And now I am… In love with Photoshop.
Anyway- here are a few of the samples I made…
Since my brain was over saturated in text, layers, masks, etc. I decided to take a small break and tweak a photo of one of my best girls, Tasha. Guess which one she is! Ha ha (Also pictured: Stacy, me & above mentioned friend, Julie.)
Now I must go and sleep. Peace and Excedrin.
