Logo Re-design

A few days ago I posted my original Logo design for the Super Couch Potatoes onto a Reddit thread for graphic design artists in order to get some feedback, some of the feed back took note that the couch that I had the potatoes sitting on looked too much like a standard stock image, and that the overall image wouldn’t scale well, taking all the feedback into consideration, I spent a couple hours today browsing Pinterest for inspiration on simplistic couch logos and decided to go with the simplest option and remade it in my own style, overall my friends seemed to be pleased with how the new Logo looks, I have posted the new design onto the Reddit thread to ask for further Critique hopefully the response will be as good as I have received so far

My former clients liked my work on their menus so much they came back to me to request two menu from me in the same style for private parties and day to day snack menus, very pleased with the results and the repeat business

[j-wright-3d]

I was approached yesterday by a new client who needed a full restaurant menu designed three days before his restaurant was due to open, after his last graphic designer failed to produce, the project required a full double sided menu for the main days in the week with a separate single sided menu for the Sunday carvery that the restaurant offered as well as a smaller wine list for all the tables, it was a bit of a rush job but managed to finish them and get my clients approval before sending them to the printer to have them printed out and laminated, and all with twenty hour hours to spare before the restaurant opens for the first time.

Final three testers for the background for the logo, and I have to say they are probably my personal favourites at the moment, the pale yellow has a nice warm feeling to it while the black background makes the white logo pop, and the all black logo on the white background is clean and solid, if it was up to me I’d go with a white background for opening animations and the black for closing animations.

But it’s not completely up to me as this will be a group decision among the four of us, so it will be put to a vote in a few days time and I’ll make the animations based off the outcome

Second batch of backgrounds testers for the logo, not really sure what I think, but the light blue is a nice shade might save if for a different project because I’m not sure if it’s right for the channels theme

[j-wright-3d]

Decided to do some testing with various backgrounds colours to se what ones looked the best for the logo and the animation backgrounds, this is the first batch of them

[j-wright-3d]

Decided to let the guys see what each of our Usernames and Font choices will look like with the logo, the colours were my own choices but everyone seems pleased with how it’s turned out so far, I’ll be progressing on to other styles for the logo to see what else works before I move on to the opening animation for our videos

[j-wright-3d]

Well things have been progressing slowly after my last update but I can safely say I have lost none of my spark for this project.

I spent two hours the other morning refreshing my knowledge of Adobe Illustator, as it’s been so long since I’ve used it, before finally finishing with this, the guys approve and I have to say I’m well pleased with it as well, more updates to follow.

Delays and agreements

Me and my friends met up last night and had a long discussion about the channel and the direction we want it to take. A lot of good points were made and we came to the decision to take things a lot slower than what I was originally wanting.

I wanted to go in with everything set up and ready from the start, bank accounts, partnership set up, digital accounts ready for when things take off.

Now looking back I can see how I was being a little optimistic about things, as one of my friends put it the channel could turn out to be a huge failure in a few months after it started and could go nowhere and then all the preparations we went through would have been for nothing.

So we’ll be taking things a lot slower and all of the planning notes that I’ve made will be used instead as future reference in the future of the channel once we’ve built a following.

Also, the decision has been made to hold off on starting the channel until the time comes that I have gotten my own place, and we have a room set up that will be dedicated to video recording and editing to save on having to cart the equipment back and forth from all our houses to prevent it getting damaged or parts lost.

The start of a journey

Lately a lot of things have been happening in my life, I’ve had to put my search for a career on hold due to my mother needing me to help her because of her condition. But now an opportunity has presented itself, me and my three friends have decided to go into business together as a YouTube channel, to produce gaming videos, we’ve spent the last couple weeks bashing the ideas for the channel around and have already come up with a name and our own unique user names.

I’ve volunteered to be the main editor of the channel so that I can finally put the skills I’ve learned in video editing and visual effect to work, though it will likely be some months before I actually start doing so because of all the work that needs to be done before the channel can even get started.

You never realise just how much work needs to be done before hand to get things like these set up and running legally, but I’m not going to let that deter me from this, I know I have my friends backing me up and we can tackle all the prep work together to make it easier.

We will be meeting again in a few days to hash all the nitty gritty stuff out for a final time and come up with a plan of attack for everything.

I have a vision for the future, a goal for the channel, to be able to earn enough to be able to get each of us a good wage and have enough left over to be able to rent out an office space to be made into a studio, for us to be able to earn a living doing what we love. As a wise man once said “if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life” that has always been my ambition in life, and I hope that this YouTube channel can provide that for me and my friends.

Me and my friend have been tossing ideas about for a joint RWBY fanfiction over the past week, we’ve finally gotten the idea for our characters down and I took the chance to practice some of my Adobe Illustrator skills and designed this as my characters symbol. The Irish trinity knot with a perfect interlocking circle and prismatic Crystal's at the three points located at 12, 4 and 8 o'clock, equal numbers, equivalent exchange, the recycling of energy in life, I thought it would be relative given my characters specific talents and traits.

Ogre Axe

I came across this epic looking piece of art work with an Ogre running into battle, on Pinterest, his axes looked very impressive so I decided to do them in 3D to see how they'd turn out. Modelling software- 3D Studio Max 2015 Deviantart wire frame render- Here

Spear sword

Another interesting sword design I came across while browsing Pinterest that caught my eye, the intricate designs on the blade itself were a new thing for me but it was fun.

Intricate weapon designs

Two very different weapon designs that I found while browsing my Pinterest early one morning, they caught my eye so I took to modelling them as practice

Cross Great sword- Leo Whitefang- Guilty Gear

Browing Pinterest this morning looking for different things that caught my eye, one thing that did was a picture of Leo Whitefang and his signature weapons, looking at them I couldn't help but want to model them, impractical maybe but badass none the less.
