Phatty's Photoshop
« on: November 03, 2009, 02:10:58 PM »
Since everyone's having so much fun with photoshop, I thought I'd share a few things I've done over the years of experimentation!

Here is the logo I designed for my new business...


A banner I designed for my first client's website...


A background I made for last year's playoffs between the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks (I live near Chicago, but am a Wings fan!)


A logo I made for some polos the staff had made up when we started...


A logo I designed for our Fire Department Softball Team to put on hats (they came out AWESOME, by the way!)


I thought I had more that were originals, but I must have cleaned off my hard drive and got rid of things I didn't think I needed anymore...

I seem to get the most joy out of making logos and avatars more than anything!  I play that "Mobsters" game on MySpace, and am in a couple "Mobs," so I've made many an animated GIF avatar!  easy ones, but fun to do all the same!

So, I decided to try and design me a new avatar, reflecting my infatuation with Clan Skirata.  I made the image from scratch, using my own thoughts and ideas.  I'm not incredibly fond of it just yet, so I'm gonna keep playing a bit, but here it is in a larger version.

Thanks, Jules!  It's a far cry from your wonderments, but I'm trying!

Ok, so a couple of guys I work with were making fun of the local motorcycle gang on the Fire Department, and decided to jokingly make our own "gang" based on riding lawn mowers.  All farce, but it got me thinking a bit, and decided to make us a logo...

That's not Portage, Indiana is it? I was born in Valparaiso, my Brother still lives there. My Mom & Sister live in Hobart.

LOL!  What a small world!  Yes, it is Portage, Indiana.  I work there, and live in Merrillville.
