| This will be my personal logo that goes on the pieces I make. |
 |
| This is a smaller, simpler version of my logo to put on smaller pieces that may not be able to accommodate the full logo. |
 |
| This is the banner I chose to go with on my Blog and will eventually be the header on my own personal website that I am working on creating. |
I love keeping up this blog and sharing everything with you guys...and I love having an online portfolio that employers can look at it. But most of all, I love to be able to see all of my projects and how my talents can develop throughout my time at Pitt State.
However, I would like to eventually move on to my own website. So recently I have started thinking about logos for a website and I want to stick with the name "Dezine Life."
Dezine Life Logo
- Font: Amadeus
- Butterfly created in Illustrator
In my InDesign file I created three layers: 1. butterfly.ai file, 2. "Dezine Life", 3. "Dezine Life" copy.
On the second layer, I converted the font to outlines and then used the 'Delete Anchor Points' tool to delete the accent lines and cirles.
Then I used the 'Line Tool' to kind of "trace" over the lines and circles in the words on the third layer...making them separate objects from the words on the second layer.
Then I deleted the third layer altogether. Which left me with the butterfly layer and the layer that contained the words and the accents.
So now I am able to change the colors of the accents but keep it looking like one font. Love being able to play around with the colors!
I'm still pretty new at using all this software so for all I know there was an easier way to do this and so if anyone knows that way feel free to shout out a comment and give me some pointers! Thanks!

Lyrical Euphoria Blog Header
This is a header I made for one of my other blogs. I used a Photoshop tutorial that I found online. Took a long time but I think overall I am pretty happy with the outcome. Needs a few tweaks and may add more to it but for now it will work :)
My Band
Just a fun little thing to do that I found floatin' around on Facebook. Just kinda gets your creativity flowing. :)
1. Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3. Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.
5. Post it with this text in the "caption" and TAG the friends you want to join in
