Signature of the Week

[Spinor]

I know, but still, being known for one week is kinda rare when you consider my circumstances XD.

I wonder if we can make a signature of the YEAR. 0.0

 

[moments.]

That would be amazing. So much preparation time for something that hardly needs that much preparation time..

For your entertainment, I will present a short journal on my signature of the week process, hopefully I will do this each week.

Sig of The Week #44 - Brand

Well, first of all, the first two things that popped into my mind with this topic, was "branding a cow" and "brands" more specifically with advertising.

My first idea came with a fusion of these two ideas. I wanted a guy who was ripping off his shirt, revealing some of his chest, with some type of logo brand, branded onto his chest, with the text. "Advertising, *insert witty comment about advertising here.*

So, I started on this idea. I found a picture. More specifically.

I began, by imprinting the coca-cola logo on him, and tried several different things. Unfortunately, I did not like where the piece was going, and so, cancelled it, and went with a new idea.

My second idea, was essentially a battle between two very popular brands, "Coke" and "Sprite" having them clash, and their colors collide in the center. It got about this far, when I decided, I actually hated this idea.

Not much going on there. It's actually not bad just like that, I didn't want to destroy it anymore, but I wanted something of higher graphic capabilities.

So, I came upon my 3rd and final idea. I decided to get a bunch of brands, and capitalize on and idea that I actually had before this competition, which was about capitalism.

So, I started getting together a bunch of logos, and meshing them together, with lots of grunge, and smudging, and color balance, etc, etc. At first, there were things like McDonalds, and Geico, but I didn't like that look of them. So I decided to stick with Soda, cause I really like the pepsi and coca-cola. Found the rest, and came up with a semi-decent peice.

Unfortunately, the lighting at the bottom, was much too strong, and the peice was too big anyway. So, I cropped it out, to make it attractive, I do this alot. I make a big peice, and crop out a small portion of it. I suggest it to you all.

It looked like this before cropping.

and, then I came with my final piece, which can be seen on the SoTW thread.

Thank you.

Enjoy!

The first image actually looks better, more like an advert.

 

[EarthsVisitor]

Yeah, probably, but I don't think it's fair, because what work would I have actually done?
The brands themselves did all the work by being popular and providing those images.
I just added text. :]

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

"Text" is also an art form. Dx

And I suppose you could vector the cans if you think you haven't put any effort into it, though graphics isn't always about the effort you use.

 

[Dukey]

Yeah, I'd enter the first one.
Also try making the white BG on it transparent.

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

Nah, I think it needs a white negative space rather than a random PC theme bg colour. Might ruin it for people using dark skins.

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

Lawl, finally entered. Wanted to do it for the luls.

 

[Aizuke]

..What the hell to the flashing out of focus entry. @_@;

 

[Dukey]

Lol I was like... wtf.
It doesn't stay on the actual picture long enough.

 

[ruby]

Yuh-huh.
Hello Kitty shoes ftw, but I barely get to seem them. D;

 

[Dukey]

Lol. I only just noticed the Hello Kitty face thing on the shoes.
Which means, that it doesn't stay on the original long enough, or I have bad eyes =P

 

[Aizuke]

It took me a while to realise too. XD; Though I'm half asleep here.

But omg, Hello Kitty converses exists? 8D

 

[ruby]

I'd get a pair, if I didn't already have a pair. xD
Screw it; Ebay here I come.

Might not enter this week after all, being lazy with Ps. :/

 

[moments.]

Lol at CME's entry!
It is awesome!

 

[THIRTY-SIX]

CME's entry has the same concept as mine, but with the it's drawn crappy on purpose feel to it. Dx

I thought she hated that style. xD

 

[moments.]

It has the same concept yes and yes I adore your entry Munna.
In fact, so far, you are getting my vote for simplicity, something a bit different and for incorporating your own 'twang' on the graphic.

 

[Zebra Thunderhead]

No, I normally don't go for the kind of style I did in my entry just because it's always for the luls and this is one theme where I can to jump on the bandwagon for a little bit.

-AdvancedK9- and Earthsvisitor have been disqualified;
Being named "Signature of The Week" the rules that would normally apply to a signature still do, yours exceeded the maximum width/height restrictions.

Kayashi's entry... Yeah.

I'm waiting on a theme from T2.
