ABSTRACT PAINTING - ETYMOLOGY - LANDSCAPE - DRANITSIN

This is Peter Dranitsin and the abstract painting is called "Etymology". In this abstract art tutorial I will create a magnificent landscape theme in colors such as: orange, bright yellow, yellow oxide, umber, red oxide, black, white, primary blue, and ultramarine blue. This painting features beautiful trees with its stunning reflection in the lake, a rising moon, and breath taking clouds. I will demonstrate for you how you can create a similar looking painting. Throughout this step by step art video you will learn about the tools and techniques that you will need to master in order to create a breath taking abstract landscape painting. I hope you will enjoy watching this video. If you enjoy watching this and other abstract art videos I ask you to please support my channel by liking this video and subscribing to my channel. Happy Painting to you all! __ For custom painting request please contact me at peter.dranitsin@gmail.com http://www.abstractartlesson.com - more abstract painting video lessons http://www.petesoriginalart.com - online art gallery http://www.urartstudio.com - tshirt logo design, graphic design, designers

Create your company logo

If you are looking for a designer to create your company logo, flashy effects and cliche images (swooshes, swooshes everywhere) are usually not a good sign. A good designer is a strong communicator, and will not have a portfolio that is full of swooshes, starbursts, or other generic symbols. The fact that Nike's "swoosh" logo is successful DOES NOT mean that adding a swoosh to any other logo will make it successful. A talented designer will be able to find a way to represent your company's 'personality' in a simple and memorable image.

While simple, there can be more to a good logo than meets the eye. For example, the FedEx logo has a secondary design element - an arrow - built in to the white space in the logo. Even if we as viewers don't see it right off, it adds to the weight of the message subliminally.

Designers who offer dozens of template images with the accompanying text "Your Company Name Here" do not provide you with solutions that really represent your business and all that it stands for. A logo is really supposed to represent the "essence" of your business. It should be simple and memorable. It should be tailor-made for your company, taking into account who your customers are, what you are selling, what ideals you want associated with your company, and more.

A good logo designer will be able to supply you with vector files - that is, scalable files that will not lose resolution when they are made larger. A knowledgeable designer will not design your logo in Photoshop.

Another thing that you should bear in mind is that your logo will be used in many different applications: print (on your stationery, forms, etc) and web spring to mind, but you may also want to have it embroidered or engraved on something. A good designer will be able to create a logo that still "works" in straight black and white - no shades of grey, no drop shadows or lens flares or other "filter effects" - these can be added later for the web version of the logo, if you desire.

If you keep this information in mind it should take the mystery out of hiring a designer, and help you to select someone who can really communicate your message in the best way possible.

CHOOSING GOOD GRAPHIC DESIGNER

As a potential client, you recognize the benefits of hiring a professional designer to create your logo, stationery or marketing pieces, but there are just so many designers out there that it can be downright overwhelming. How in the world can you find one who is right for you?

Some companies think that the best way to get a design that they like is by holding a contest, but if you read last month's article you probably realize that this isn't the right way to go about it.

There are a lot of people offering design services, and they range in experience from true professionals with years of experience to high school students with pirated software who just want to make a quick buck. Searching the internet can be very time consuming and your efforts can leave you feeling confused and discouraged.
