Letter A vectored

In the 1980's, as part of my art course, I had to choose a letter from the alphabet and create 8 new designs involving illustration and using different drawing styles. These were created the traditional way, pencil and rotring pen on cartridge paper (see below).


Recently a vector/type friend of mine saw this piece and suggested I vector one of the designs, just to see the effect. So eventually I had a go in Adobe Illustrator and came up with this (see below). I am very pleased with the final 2010 effect!

Ai and Logo Design

From 1988 - 1992 I was on an art course. When I left, I worked for a creative consultant designing advertising for the Arts. I used Adobe Illustrator (Ai) and Photoshop (Ps). In 1994, I got a new job which used Ps, but not Ai. 15 years later, I was made redundant, and I trained myself up again with the current Ai. Hard going! As an incentive to learn Ai properly I began designing logo's online.
