The Perks Of Using An Online Logo Maker

Logo designing is a lucrative industry. There’s designers, there’s clients and now there’s online logo makers that have forever transformed the way that things used to work before. In this age of social media and smartphones, being first to the market is a crucial survival tip from brands old and new. Businesses have gotten new homes as they shift online. Traditional logo design by designers is now perceived as slow. When timing is everything in social media, startups, and in marketing campaigns, hitching up with a designer might not make sense.

Discovering the Benefits of a Good Logo Design

What is the first thing that comes to your mind and makes your heart ponder when you see a well-designed logo? Is it, “Why did I not think about this design?”

 

Backgrounds: Monochrome, Patterned

Fill layer background A reader in the Photoshop 911 Forums posted the image above asking how the effect was accomplished. It's a hockey scene with a player lifted from the background, highlighted with a white feathered rim-lighting effect. The background itself was covered with a blue and black pattern giving it a sort of vague looking venetian blinds sort of effect. This is fairly easy to do in all versions of Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. I'll show you the extended layers version, not using anything fancy so that it goes way back to version 4.

Isolating the subject

I don't have a hocky picture, but since the holidays are just around the corner, I'll use this nativity scene for my subject. First you'll want to isolate your subject. It doesn't matter if it's from the same image, or a different image, the steps are the same, you'll have to cut it out. Using the Lasso tool or the Pen tool, which ever your program has, get started.

 

Creating a Custom Drop Shadow

THIS IS A SIMPLE WALK-THROUGH for producing drop shadows by hand. In some cases you'll want to know and understand this process because you'll need a shadow that does not "drop" from the entire object, or one that you can manipulate as a separate object rather than part of the layer as in the Drop-Shadow layer effect.

This is an object, rastered on its own layer.

simple object

The first thing we'll do is duplicate that object to another new layer. 

* Drag the layer to the "New Layer" icon at the bottom of the layers palette, or, 

* Use the "Float" command: Command/J, or Control/J for Windows.
