Rough cuts of logo's

Screenshots Of Making Logo's

I started off by using the scanned drawing of the logo and imported it into Photoshop, i then put a layer on top of it and made it slightly transparent so that i could see the scan underneath. I then used the line tool to go around the outline of the shape, i then had the structure for my logo. I then filled it appropriately using black and white so that the outcome was the picture underneath. 

After this I did the same with these two deferent scans underneath. I again filled them appropriately to make it look as realistic as i could to a film reel. 

After this i saved them all separately and then merged them together fitting each part in the positions that i wanted them. 

For my other logo i thought of a simple but effective logo, i drew the word giant on a piece of plain paper and scanned it in. I then found a font off dafont.com which fitted the style of text i wanted and downloaded it and used it. I modified it using stroke effects and bevel and emboss effects. 

I did the same procedure with this next piece of text.

I then got both of the pieces of text and placed them in the right positions.

I then downloaded a brush from brusheezy.com of a giant looking silhouette and placed on either side of the text. I did this because it has reference to the title of the logo. 

Throughout making these logo's i have used skills i already had and i have made them look as professional as i can. Some of the skills i used were layer masking, using bevel and emboss, stroke effects, brush tool, fill tool, line tool which i also used as a free hand tool and a circle tool. Although these skills seem to be simple, i have used them in a way in which they look very presentable and could realistically be seen as a professional logo.

Scans/Sketches Of Logo's

This sketch of my logo would be good as a professional logo because the main text in it which is "giant" stands out and catches the attention of the viewer which is useful as they can now recognise films made by this company and may want to see what other films they have made. 

Another thing is the other piece of text underneath the word "giant" which says "productions" which sounds very professional as well known companies also call themselves "productions"

Finally i have drawn 2 silhouettes of "giant" people on either side of the word "giant". This makes the text stand out more and also makes the logo look more appealing. 

I could improve this logo by making it more exiting to look at. adding colours and different shading could be the way to solve this. 

This next logo would look good as a professional logo because it has relevance to the film industry. I will name this company "Cut and Reel Productions" which again relates to the film industry. 

The fact that people recognise what the images are in this logo will help with how popular the company will be and the more popular they are will mean more people want to see films that this company will be involved in. 

I could improve this again by adding more colour and shading into this. I should also think about the background this image will be put on as this will help a lot in how much the actual image will stand out.

The production element and presentation of research, planning and evaluation may be individual or group work (maximum group size is four candidates). Where candidates have worked in a group, the evidence for assessment may be presented collectively but centres will still assess candidates on an individual basis for their contribution to aspects of the work, from planning, research and production to evaluation.
