Photoshop ideas

I SAY THIS AND I REPEAT THIS IS NOT THE FINAL LOGO MY MOTIONGRAPHIC WILL MOVE THIS IS SIMPLY JUS SPURRING IDEAS AND THINKING ABOUT TAKING MY PROJECT FURTHER.


finally i jus added some images of grime stars "skepta" and "JME" to the logo and used blending options to make dem blend in with the background im not going to keep this logo intentionally i aimed to keep it at the end of the motion graphics, preferably at the 7th to the 8th second. Now im not to sure



finally here i jus added more text "targeting the best in urban music" and "www.rwdmag.com


i removed the background vector by clicking the "eye icon" on photoshop this removed it completly but with the click of a button it can easily re-appear. I also included a rwd button with a cirlce and used blending options to give it that light outline shadow and to darken the rewind text and logo.




The target vector is still visible but i changed its opacity to give it a more defined look, and added a image in the background and blended it in with the colour.



It looked to plain so i reintrouduced the target but editing its blending options gave it a blurred watery effect.


I didnt like the target so i used contrast and colour fill, to make the backgroud black.




Above is a RWD logo with vectors and layering. I also used Blending properties and used shadows, this helped me to change the strength of the "RWD" by keeping the opacity at 100% and lowering the opactity of the target.




I decided instead of going straight to Adobe AfterAffects i should think about practising on photoshop first. Therefore I made a simple logo and thought about manipulation techniques. The main reason i done this was to use it and the end of the sequence to have all the information that is readable in a possiblilty of a 1.5 seconds. The first thing i had to think about was how to create the background. Layering is a specific tool used to do this correctly. I had to organise them in the correct order so that when they over lapped it would look correct. I believe Photoshop to be an accurate tool to use for logos because you can't go wrong. You can blend the background to your ideal needs, for example in this image above the text was red but notice the arrow that was layered is now hidden i removed its layer from the image for now to create the background. In total i create 9 layers

Post Question...

do you think i should opt for keeping this design at the end if so why?

to be honest i could either share the same main logo for the end of the motion graphics of RWD as it is for RWD, there not much point incorporating this design in the project??


Just Do It!
