Everyone with basic understanding of how to use the tools can sit up in front of a computer and think himself creative if he can come up with a design in 15minutes.
I've been out of Graphics Design for years - since I was a young teenager. But I didn't stay aloof. Every once in a while I pick up my nouse and bring my imaginations to life while I work with CorelDRAW - not exactly true, what I've always done was do something I think is good with a concept I pick while I use the tools.
I just found I needed a logo which has to be simple and still captivating to really portray the meaning of the company - so I didn't want to use a font graphics because am going to feel its "heavy" - if you know what I mean.
After I spent about a day without getting what I wanted, I had to allow my imagination to guide me. What I came up with was simple enough and satisfactory. But, the perfect way to make it a picture was my pencil and drawing pad.
Here is a rough of what I came up with,
Quite simple! But it will take a while for my unskillful hand to birth this in a graphics application like CorelDraw for example without having the sketch in the first place.Thats my point, Digital Arts has the ability to make out works good with all the resolutions and effects it has to offer. But, the best expression of our creative mind is found hen we put our pencils on our pads and make beautiful arts designs. That's organic, woven into our very minds.
Think of such a time when company logos and other designs that have so my=uch depended on digital arts get pencil designed and then maybe a little touch up in an Adobe application.
This is a form of creativity we need to keep, that we need to rebirth or that we should birth afresh.
A guy tgat has this touch in his designs is Kevin Cornell.
So, my creatively creative minded babes and dudes lets Pick Up our Pencils! and Dust our Pads! , for that is our calling we can't afford to fail out.
Use your pencil - and use it wisely!
