Progress on my 2D design hasn’t been that great this week. I’m still at the stage of cleaning up design for print. I want to create very smooth lines before I do anymore stencils of my design and screen print it as its starting to get a bit costly buying more printing paper each week. So after this week I should be right to start doing up some final prints.

"My progress hasn’t moved so much as my design is final therefore all I have been doing is scrounging up materials for my 3D components and refining my logo lettering. I cant complete my logo as I want the materials I use for the 3D aspect to look the same as my 2D logo. Once I complete the 3D component then I shall finish the logo."

Sunita

"In the past week I have made touch ups and modifications to my images. They have been put into appropriate format and have been handed over to Damien to print on the beast printer with semi gloss paper. Also I have researched framing companies that I can call to get quotes on having the prints applied to MDF and framed."

I lost my Ai file for my MB Logo for 2D Design but I re-created it and added a couple of different types of grass. One using typical grass modified from google images and the second one was with Josie helping me to create a custom grass brush tool in Photoshop before dropping it into my new Ai file logo. It still looks a bit busy so I may have to simplify it to a few blades of grass so it can print.

PRACTICAL – Design Realisation

My design is coming along really nicely now and after spending what seemed like forever cleaning up my design ready for print i think its close to being finished. To create those soft curves I was after I spent alot of time in Illustrator eliminating unnecessary points so that it left lovely rounded shapes that were the branches of my tree. 

About halfway through the 'clean up'
