Hi everyone! 100$ for the winner. Contest will run until I find a winner or 25$ to the best try. Payments via Paypal only. All submitions must be Vector based ( flash, Illustrator ) No pixel based entries please ( i,e photoshop ) Color scheme should be the same as the old logo Should include the text: Plugg'd Crew A plug should be incorporated like in the old logo any way you find fit. Old Logo: Lets get the show on the road, I want to find a winner ASAP!
I could enter, but only pixel based. I can do this at A3 resolution so that it will fit all of your needs online and for print at 300dpi. Let me know.
Im afraid only Vector based. Its not the print or resolution Im worried about. These are the requirements Im set.
If i'm correct, Photoshop has the ability for vector designs, vector is a way of doing something. Not a program. Vector in Photoshop basically consist of the tools: (In Photoshop) Pen Tool, Text, and Shapes Just thought i'd mention that. Here is an example tutorial: http://www.melissaclifton.com/tutorial-vector.html But if you don't have photoshop, then this probably won't matter. - If I may ask is your original logo vector?
The original logo is pixel based. Pixels ( bitmap ) vs Vector Programs like MS Paint and PhotoShop are both bitmap applications, treating the images you work with as a fixed-size resource made up of a fixed number of dots, or pixels. Once a line or curve or piece of text has been 'committed' to the canvas you can not go back and change it without undoing and starting over again. Also, since the information in a picture is represented by dots, you cannot enlarge the image without exaggerating the effect of these dots and making the picture look jagged. One advantage of using this scheme is that scanned photographs are always represented as bitmaps (the detail in the average photograph is way too complex to be represented as vectors), so if you want to work with these items you'll need a bitmap based program. Another advantage is the mathematical functions that can be performed on a bitmap, such as averaging the pixels to create a blur, or edge detection routines that emboss. Vector based applications such as Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator treat images as collections of vectors and shapes. A line would have a starting point, direction and length, a rectangle would have a starting point, width and height, circles would have a center and radius, and so on. After drawing a rectangle you can go back and change its width and height, bring it to the foreground or send it to the background, even after other shapes had been drawn on top of it later. When saved to file, vector images also take up less disk space, since, for example in the case of a rectangle, the program is only storing four numbers no matter what its size: the x and y starting point, plus the width and height. In comparison, a bitmap application would have to store color information for the 10,000 pixels that make up a 100x100 pixel rectangle. Another advantage of Vector based applications is that you can re-size the final image to be as large or as small as you like and never obscure the detail with jagged edges.
inkstar, I realize that, but I'm pretty sure Photoshop does vector though, It has shapes tool just as your post says. I've enlarged my properly made photoshop vector drawings and they do not lose quality. Do you have Photoshop? I can send you an example. Make it 10x bigger and make a test print.
Thanks for the entry! You failed to incorporate a "plug" into your design. I feel your choice of font is a little hard to read. We dont want a star or a dj set incorporated. Try again.
All fonts are vector based m8, Im aware that photoshop has vector capabilites. fonts, rectangle and pen tool to name a few. but when you save/export you have pixels. Its not printing quality that we are worried about, that can be achieved with photoshop easily, this will be used in a medium that requires it to be made in vector oriented software i.e flash and illustrator. Thanks for your observation though, Im very sure its only ment to help efford noted and reputition give.
