Here is some real world graphic design:
The Seward City of Commerce is looking for a logo for the 2012 Mount Marathon Race.
Here are the rules:
size 8 1/2 x 11 inches
Only 4 colors
Include: Mount Marathon Race, July 4 2012, 85th Running, Seward, Alaska, The word “finisher” or “survivor”, mountain theme.
We will actually enter these and the winner receives $200! The chosen design will be made into T-shirts, hoodies, hats, patches, and posters. Keep in mind that the patches will be round.
My Rules:
Include a mountain and something to represent running. Remember, good logos are bold and get the point across clearly. The point of this logo is a hardcore race up a mountain in Seward, Alaska. How can you represent these things visually? Remember, the text is a part of the art, incorporate it into the design, not just as an afterthought. You know how to add effects, bend it, etc.
You can’t just steal some one else’s image from online, but you can take someone else’s photo, change is somehow in Photoshop, and call it your own. Think of all the ways you know know how to change/simplify a photo. You can posterize it, adjust the threshold, change it into a silhouette, etc. If you want to draw something by hand and incorporate it into your design, we can scan it, and load it into Photoshop.
I can’t wait to see what you come up with! Use the knowledge you have learned from your other projects, you are becoming Photoshop masters…
