Initial ideas for logo/graphic.

I want to design a logo for a YouTube channel which uploads Islamic songs (nasheeds) and Qur’an. This logo I am designing reflects Islamic history.

My main idea is to draw a Saracen character which is a warrior in Islamic history. I’m designing this logo for people who are interested in “nasheeds” or people who are interested in Islamic history. My product only has a few colours: Brown, green, dark green, black and brown.

The files I’m going to use is jpeg because the pddf file cannot be uploaded as an image or as a file that cannot be edited. Jpeg on the other hand can be exported and uploaded on the internet as an image and cannot be edited.

I then designed my character in Adobe illustrator because I found the software very easy to use. The designing of the character was very hard and I found it very difficult. I had never used this type of software however I found it much easier to make my character then creating my character in Photoshop.

The font i used was myriad pro. I know this is the best font to use 

So I then decided I should colour my character with the tools in photoshop.

Here I blended in the sword with the flag I made the brush tool small and used the colour white. I used the paint bucket tool to colour the flag I also needed to blend the sword with the flag

I then decided to copy my design and paste it in Photoshop where I coloured the figure, items and the mountain.

I used the paint bucket tool to colour wooden pole. I also changed the colours to paint the helmet and the turban.

 

I decided to change the colour of the turban to green because I preferred it.

I decided to make the clothing green as well as the turban. The flag is black with white writing. The reason I chose the design like this is because it has a contrast.

When painting the hill/mountain the problem was that when I tried to colour it the whole page became black. So I had to connect the right part of the3 hill/mountain to the left side.

I then used the paint bucket tool and made the hill black. Then used the paint brush tool and created little lines to show what the mountain is like. I then used the bucket tool to make the armour. I then found a sword online and I used the rectangular marquee tool (m) to get rid of the white background.

I used the bucket tool and I made the sword black.I copied the sword and I place it next to the other sword. I flipped it and resized it.

wanted to make the shield silver but I decided to make it green to blend in with figures clothes. 

I then decided to create another logo but I wanted to limit the design

I copied the figure from my previous logo.

I pasted it and I decided to create two lines to become the stick of the banner. I then placed a hand on the stick and made the material on the flag. I used the line segment tool.

I copied the flag from the other image.

Bold italic for the font.

Same as the previous font.

I used the paint bucket tool to colour the wooden pole the shield, armour, ­­­­­clothes and flag.

I then used the bucket tool on the background and the colour I chose was dark blue.
