I enjoy photoshopping things and have tried making logos. do you guys draw everything or are there pre drew designs u can add to logos. if that makes any sense lol

 

[oakleydude44]

I don't know of too many designers that actually draw anything by hand.

"real" designers (not to say that we're not) will actually draw their designs by hand, scan them, then bring that into which ever program they use, and trace it and clean it up. i do the same thing, i just don't draw it by hand.

http://www.thegraphiclibrary.com/sketchings.html - this isn't me by the way, i was just showing you how it works

and stay out of photoshop if you want to make logos. photoshop is a raster-based program, while illustrator and coreldraw are vector-based programs. you want vector, not raster.

I agree with you, i bought a drawing tablet a few weeks ago.. it takes time to get use to but it is very handy.. its alot easier to use then to draw it out then scan it..

I use Corel. I wish I had the ability to draw.

Truth...Illustrator is your best friend if you design logos.

Yeah, I've never touched corel but im sure you can make it work. But yeah, Illustrator is the way to go in my opinion.

 

[Schiffy]

I used to have Illustrator and loved it. went to Corel Draw X5, and it's definately got a learning curve, course, i'm not very good. just use it for decals, and basic logo's.

So If I were to go get corel draw.. how does the blank jersey and sleeves get into the program?? Is it already in the program or no?? Interested in possibly starting to design my own jerseys!!! Thanks for any help you all can give me!!

 

[Mikaka]

you have to make your own. but making your own won't get you anywhere as all printers use their own jersey templates anyway.
