Logo Lunacy

These are a compilation of logos I have created for numerous projects and design practice. I use Adobe Photoshop and a hint of Illustrator to create these design pieces. The First set here is for a compositing project I had worked on with a friend. The logo was suppose to represent a young guy put in 3D world type environment. I thought the basic colors of red and blue could represent a simple look, but with the addition of the green cubes, help the logo pop. The silhouette adds the human touch of the character within the project the logo is meant for. The bottom one is the one I have leaned towards more.

The next logo is meant for another compositing video project I worked on with a group of friends. The video was aimed for the horror genre and so I needed the logo to fulfill that feeling. So I went for the contrasting values of black and white. But of course have the letters themselves have a little messiness and slight chaos, with the extra particles around the logo. Not to mention the slashed looking underline.






The next set is just to give myself some design
practice. I chose to do a holiday cause everyone knows about holidys and I selected my favorite one, which is Halloween. It was especially fun to find the cool edginess that Halloween deserves. For the first one I went the crescent moon and decided to give it a crooked but sharp edges, with stars on the outside of it. Adding the yellow was a splashy touch to give the logo a hint of color. For the font on both I thought going for a classic but Gothic look was the best choice. The cat was a traditional choice but adding the sharp look adds to the flavor of the entire design. I added the line under the cat because it gave the impression of the cat being on a solid plane, like a stalker of the night.


The last design was for a friend who is into film and wanted to call his aspiring company Quack Productions. I started with the duck character and went for a fun and goofy font that complemented the duck. The color was to match the ducks beak. The first letter of the logo was a little hard to decide on but when I thought of quack one more time I decided to make the Q a duck shape. It all seemed to work out and was a fun productions logo.

Cold Consciousness of Bellerophon Barrow

So this is next in the Ignazio Ikuto Series. By now the process should have been well stated. He is the next big obstacle to Ignazio Ikuto. And within this photo had began with myself as the model. It was a photoshoot and this one was the photo chosen. I know the pig hat is pretty ridiculous but hey its fun.







I had to add the darkness around the body and take away the sharpness all around the body of the character. Next was within the shadows on the face such as the dark bags under the eyes. The inspiration for this character was all the villains and sort of characters we love to hate with a hint of silliness, which would be the hat.







And finally was the final darkness and shadows that complete the effect of a villain. I had to give the pig hat a cool look because the pig is an important aspect to this character. I was really getting influence from characters like Lex Luthor, Vicious and The Joker. The name was the hardest part to come up with, all the other characters was not so hard to do but this character had me thinking. His name came to be Bellerophon Barrow, the bad ass boss of a black market crime crew with the mysterious pig hat who offers assistance. He has the conceded personalty of a villain and the cold heart. I had fun posing for the picture and working on the photoshop work.

Death after Negative Nova

This is another addition to the Ignazio Ikuto series. He was created to be Ignazio's opponent and constant problem. These movie/character posters are influenced by the promotional movie posters for films such as The Spirit, Star Trek and The Dark Knight. I began with a photoshoot with my little brother and we turned out with this image. Once I had the image I worked with Adobe photoshop and created a black back drop. Same as the previous image. This character uses funky looking guns so that's why he is holding an odd gun.




Now was to add the dark shadows on his face and gun. He is a dark character so to add harsh shadows seemed to be the best choice. Not to forget the gun, I added the red glow of the gun. There are many layers on top of layers that make the harsh shadow and the red glow. I added multiple effects on the image to add harsh light. It helps the image pop instead of it being dull.






Now was to add the rest of the red glows effect. Showing the movement of the gun. When I added that I knew I needed to add a red highlight on the characters face. The last step was to the place the text and name of the character which is... Negative Nova.

The Serious Fire That is Kasen Knight

So to begin this explanation or whatnot, this is another character from the Ignazio Ikuto adventure. I created this to be a serious of character posters for a pretend movie idea. This is the character that is important to Ignazio's past. I begin this with having a little photo shoot with with my friend (posing for this character) and we began with what would be this characters demeanor. After that step was done, Adobe photoshop was the next key. I had to make a black background and change the lighting.




Then came the characters flame attribute. He has this because thats his element I guess. Every character has to have something that defines them and fire is this character's THING. So I created the fire in Photoshop and layered it with different kind of effects and whatnot. The light that the flames would emit had to be shown on some of the clothing and on his skin so that was also placed on.






Finally the completed character/movie poster for the character Kasen Knight. I had to finally add the completed fire and smoke from the flames. Of course the title of the movie, character and the snazzy font. So in the end it was pretty sweet to work on this image.

Youthful Canvas

I wanted to create a type of illustration that I don't normally do. This was all created from my little cousin Hugo. One day I just woke up and felt like drawing it. It was done all in Photoshop. Line work and inking. I have been thinking about doing more images like this one. It was pretty fun to keep the curious look that kids give. Oh to be that young again. LOL
