Re: Australian Open Logo

Not to bump my own thread, but given the SOPA thing, did I alter this enough for it to be considered a derivative work or am I just pirating now?

God loves you!

Re: Australian Open Logo

I thought about it, and the best I could think to do is to show by example. So I made this. You should get a trial version of Photoshop, sir. I think it's completely functional and free for a month or so.

Photoshop CS3 and above will open this PSD.

The important bit, though, is that I recorded and tutorialized it every step of the way as I was making it. So you can see how I did it and hear why and other random tidbits of hopefully useful information.

Re: Australian Open Logo

I'm only sorry that it didn't occur to me earlier that you were using GIMP. smile Hopefully it was still helpful conceptually.

Don't worry about it. I am still becoming familiar with GIMP, and not as familiar as Photoshop. However, the ideas that you showed, your way of setting up different layers, as well adding some more original work to the work, are all really helpful techniques.

Thank you again for your time and work on that tutorial. I was surprised to see the video and even more surprised to see your take on the idea.

If I am ever in LA, I will definitely get you a soda or something for your work big_smile Hey, you asked for a drink

God loves you!
