Assignment 2- Postcard

Okay...so here's one idea

that I came up with from my process....

....And here's the other one.

Oh My, that is totally NOT how it is supposed to look, I will attempt to fix this. In the mean time..I apologize ;-(

p.s....I loved the feedback from everyone who commented. Great solution ideas from everyone as to what was working and what wasn't for the designs! Much appreciated!

ooh ya more

The jump off- I created a new template from the image of the logo..

Then, with advise from Gloria, I reduced the
opacity of the image template to about 15% or so...in order to SEE what the heck I'm doing!
(thanx Gloria!!)

Here, attempting to get the hang of it...I'll keep trying[process03]

A little problem, with the top of the A, not sure what happened. Evey time I grab the line and attempt to delete, slice, or erase that center line, it winds up deleting the entire thing. trying..[process04]

whatever?! Moving on....about to begin on the G.[process05]

Okay, all done except for that little quirk in the A! Any suggestions?[process06]

Assignment 3-Logo Groups

What a week!!! Crazy events unfolded this week, the main one being that my daughter managed to injure herself, a hairline fracture to the tail-bone of all places!?
Anywho, I have a lot to catch up on, so here goes.....

the new assignment, the group logo rendering is the first one on the list of to do's. I was able to get in touch with my group members despite my absence on Tues. The logo I am working on is Peter Behren's logo design for AEG (Allgemeine Elektrizitäts Gesellschaft). A Historic German company producing heavy industrial goods and consumer electronics.
I have to admit, I enjoyed researching the where/why and how the AEG design came to be and its history a lot more than the actual rendering of 'the sum of its parts'.
I would share my findings...but then I would have nothing to talk about during our short presentation! ;-)
Here is the start of my process, after creating a new template from placing the AEG image, cutting the opacity down to some where around 15% or so, opened new document from the template and then begun the rendering process(w/ pen tool)

And heres the end product. Not bad, huh?!
