TiKi BaR !!!!!

This my final "Tiki Bar" sign that I created for the prom. I found hawaiian theme vectors and changed their colors and edited them to work with my poster. I also added an effect to the wave vector using photoshop. I found an online tutorial to create the drift wood effect on the poster. I downloaded the font "tiki palms" to use for the title "The Tiki Bar." I really like this poster a lot and enjoyed making it.

Finished with picture logos!!!!

Today I completed my picture logos. The final result includes the words: bloom, love, peace, music and nautical. My favorite one is bloom, i like the way that i changed the original picture of the flower to this new one filled with color. Also i like the effect that the font has with the "l" being the same color as the center of the flower the "o."I used the twist effect to make the anchor look the way it does, and the scribble effect for the music note

Picture Logos again

I am still working on creating logos with pictures replacing letters. In the most recent class 1/10 i used the word bloom and replaced one of the "o"s with a blooming flower. I changed the petals of the flower and everything using the color swatch and eyedropper tool so it looks very different now from its original
