Logos
So recently I’ve been playing around with 99Designs making logos for design contests.
This is tricky but quite fun…and if I get good enough could be profitable (I really rather hope) only problem is you have to out do all the other hundreds of designers and spending time and effort only to not get picked and earn nothing is slightly daunting/depressing.
Also qutie similar to my normal pattern of working, as in doing a lot of effort but getting jack s*** out of it -_-
But in order to do this job I had to learn Adobe Illustrator and OMG that program is incredible!!!
It’s just so complex and powerful, you can literally do ANYTHING, I am in love with all its little 1′s and 0′s :] hehe
Anyway given the lack of guarentee with 99designs I’d really not mind working for much less potential profit as long as it was certainly going to be there at the end, so if anyone happens to need a logo for their business or website, i’d be more than happy to have a crack at it for a lot less than you’d look to pay even at the minimum price of 99designs or other freelance designer sites.
Sorry to get all salesy on a more personal blog, but if you don’t ask you don’t get and I could certainly do with a bit more paying work. Same goes for websites to be honest, currently only got my own projects on so there’s plenty time for working for clients.
Other than all that 2013 is progressing as expected, and I am mostly keeping to a posetive and change oriented outlook
though I could do with a bit more speed in that change if i’m honest. And if i’m REALLY honest all I actually want to do is play games and write stuff, like more XZA for example…but I just can’t see much profit in that as yet :/ so websites, work and Adobe it is then I suppose

I’ll definitely keep your talents in mind if I ever come across someone needing logo help!
Maybe in the future I might need your help with a logo. But for now, good luck, Bede! You have such talents. So many companies are missing out and they don’t even know it.
Best of luck with the contest. (And even if you don’t get picked, look on the bright side. You learned something you can bring to you next project.
)
As for Illustrator… MAN… The stories I could tell you about spending days painstakingly putting something together, only to learn it could be done in minutes. Off the top of my head, pathfinder, live paint, shape builder and the built in perspective grid are four tools that left me feeling like kicking myself for not looking into them sooner. >.<

@Lakakalo - Thanks man!
You’re right and bit by bit I am improving
Oooo thank you! I’ll definately have a look at those, thats the thing with Adobe stuff, you can either struggle or spend a bit of learning time and suddenly it’s super easy, so any and all tips are VERY gratefully recived.
