I've been an established graphic designer now for nearly a decade and my
forte of expertise does lie within logo and brand design you can actually browse
over my portfolio link down in description box below
but today I'm here to show you the tools and the resources that I used to make a
killer logo design going into 2019 making today's video possible is Miller
notes now featured this awesome tool before my channel and it is a central
part of my workflow as a designer it's great for generating and developing
ideas throughout the design process and all of your work can be shared with
colleagues and clients at any time Molino is in fact free so click the link
in description below to give it a try today and see how it can allow your
designs to evolve and to flourish I've said this before and I'm gonna say it
today and I'm probably gonna say in the future too because it is so important
the use of pen and paper especially at the start of a logo design project is
absolutely essential using pen and paper allows you to quickly spill your ideas
and your sketches and your concepts out into a physical form - my sketches are
often crude but they're also meaningful because they help to develop my ideas
and my concepts from thought towards the final design outcome so branching off
from my sketches I sometimes do tidy up my drawings on paper and then I might
want to scan these into a debut illustrator to use as a kind of template
and to do this after news my DSLR camera to capture the sketches and the drawing
is to upload into illustrator however the DSLR doesn't just have its
purpose in scanning and sketches it goes to be used to snap pictures for
inspiration you'll see later in the video while that can come in handy but I
have in the past been walking somewhere or maybe have just looks outside of the
window and something has sparked some inspiration within me snapping a pic of
the inspiration keeps it fresh in a physical form and not just faded in a
foggy memory of yours there is an awesome free resource coming soon in
this video created by Adobe and it will help you to create killer logo designs
but firstly however there was a nice tool to bridge that gap between paper
and pen onto a vector program like illustrator a drawing tablet
allows a designer to draw their ideas with a pen but instead of creating these
ideas on paper vector sketches and designs are actually created in a very
fast manner on my ads I personally use pen and paper often and drawing tablets
but that's just me and my workflow in designing a logo but I still do use a
Wacom from time to time another handy resource is a sponsor of
today's video and that is MIDI notes so when designing logo projects you can
bring your inspiration imagery that you've snapped with your camera and you
can import your scanned drawings and also your notes to having a digital mood
board is super handy and going into 2019 any design project that I'm gonna start
I will include the use of Milanoo - suppose I've mentioned in recent little
design tips videos I always suggest that you design your logos in black and white
first this is because it's more crucial to get the actual logo mark and
Composition finalized and on point first and foremost thereafter you can work on
color and adobe has an awesome and a free resource called add a B color you
can choose between RGB and CMYK colors but they're really helpful function here
is that you can choose color groups once you've chosen a color group you can
toggle around the wheel and Adobe is gonna select a color scheme for you to
use now regular viewers of my channel would know how much I love monochrome
color schemes but you must absolutely make sure that your color scheme is
relevant to the brand and also the message of the logo itself so check out
a doobie color link down below I do also of course use my Mac and a
debut illustrator but these resources are too obvious for me to go in detail
in today's video so there are five different logo designer resources that
I'm going to be using going into 2019 but there is one last Golden Nugget that
I have for you and it comes in a form of a website logoed is an awesome source of
inspiration and to get his creative juices flowing
it's link down below with all of the other resources in today's video and lo
good can show you some real-life projects and logo design evolutions of
course don't know copying work that you see on there but by all means and do get
inspired and also browse you with the many sections and parts of this
interesting logo design resource I hope you enjoyed today's video and don't
