30 Days of Design


This is the first design. It is the name of a friends business. They make home made dog treats. They are starting up pretty soon and getting ready to get a holiday selection ready for you. The dog treat in this logo was created by me using photoshop. The rest of it was designed in Illustrator. My inspiration that I had was my dog's, dog tag. Let me know what you think.

Day 2

Revelations Salon is a business that I know of and thought it would be neat to create a logo with there name. The "V" is inspired by hair folicals and strands of hair. I made one of the strands of hair flow downward to create the "S" for the word, "Salon." I wanted to keep it tones that you would normally find in hair. Let me know what you think.

Day 3


Ok, I know this isn't a business name but it is a mast head. I couldn't come up with a business name last night so I decided to make a mast head for my 30 Days of Design.

Day 4

This is a logo that I should have been working on several months ago. It is a small business where they make hand made lotions using all natural products. The owner really likes sunflowers so I thought it would give it that fresh natural look to the logo.

Day 5

I was learning a few new effects and this is what I came up with. I did this whole thing in photoshop. I am going through a retro kick I think.

Day 6



Here is a different view of the same type of techniques as the one above.

Day 7


Some other techniques I have been playing with in photoshop. Again, everything was created in photoshop in this image.

Day 8



Here is another exhibit ad. Again everything here was created in photoshop.

Day 9


I thought I would do a little DVD cover. This was just me messing around.

Day 10


I created this entirely in photoshop. I was just playing around with effects and thought that it turned out pretty neat.

Day 11


I decided it was time to create a new header for my blog. I created everything you see in photoshop except for my monogram, I created that in Illustrator.
