Playing with Photoshop

I took this picture over the summer. The oil on canvas effect came out really cool...

Original Picture...

So for this assignment I thought I'd find inspiration from what I'm currently going through...a lot of stress. I look absolutely crazy in the original picture but I think it definitely comes across as stress. This assignment took a lot of time to do and having to use only four colors was definitely a challenge. 

Experimenting with the Image Trace tool

Logos and Business Cards

I decided to use my initials for my business. In the first logo that I created, I wanted to incorporate my initials together to create one letter. Although it is simple, I think it's effective. I actually think I spent the most time on this one because at first it looked like this and someone pointed out to me that it looks like T K. Of course I didn't want that so I changed it a bit. 

The result - Logo 1

For my second logo I wanted to create something more fun so I decided on the color light pink. You'll notice that I tried to change it up for each logo/business card I designed.

For my third logo I wanted to again find a way to blend together my initials so this is what I came up with - 

 I ended up finding a really interesting font so I used it.

The next logo I think is one of my favorites. I used the paintbrush tool for the letters and I love the color combination.

For my last logo I wanted to try something a little funky. It's definitely different from the others. I wanted to incorporate the T with the word phoTography.
