Sorry for the complete lack of updates, guys! Here is a project I did for my Advanced 2D Graphics: Web class. We had to come up with a concept for a company to design a logo for, the only requirement being that we had to use a lion fish. We had to design two cohesive versions of the same logo - one in Photoshop and one in Illustrator, and then design a functional home page featuring both versions of the logos. I decided to create a fictional seafood restaurant called Løve Fisk (lion fish in Norwegian). This is what I came up with! The first logo is the Illustrator version, the second is the Photoshop version. If you would like more frequent updates from me - you can find me on Behance at www.behance.net/samanthasowder
