Webdesign - Simple steps to improve looks - Logo

Just collected some design tips to improve website looks I'm going to present on the nemezis.design site. Simple thoughts which improve the appearance of any website significantly.

As a start if we are talking about a brand, product or company, a logo is very useful to link visual impulses with the things we would like the customers to remember.

I'm a fan of simplified design, however in some cases a more complicated and fancy logo might be appropriate (art, food, hotels, etc.).

Generally I followed the most repeated logo generation rules: Keep it simple, related to the product, balanced appearance and flexibly sizable... bla-bla-bla, lot of good essays can be found on the internet regarding this topic, just search for logo creation rules.

After drawing some sketches I found the obvious similarity of letter n and letter D, which in this case could be stylized to only be 90° angled. In some cases this could be enough already, but I might revise my statement above "I'm a fan of simplified design" --> I'm a fan of simplified design with taking one additional step from plain stupid simple.



In this case this just meant for me, that the two letters should be merged... So I did just that, applied some shadows and voila: Simple, easy to remember, scale-able and looks like it has something to do with design.




So as a first step I got a nice logo to show in the browser bar as favicon...

So I took the path through the vibrant atmosphere of the woods of rhythm (by putting on some Forestdelic music) and dreamed of colors and patterns to fill the white skin of my canvas to bring it to life. Base Real tree bark Flattened texture Painting the textures started in the park actually. I took my camera and headed for some trees... old trees. My aim was to get a realistic texture basis from where I could go in with variation depending on the surface I wanted. After catching some lovely tree bark and some stones, I headed back to the computer to paint Gails body with some reality. It started with some adjustments in Photoshop. The Gamma value was adjusted, as the colors in the RGB screen space would not reflect how it is in reality. Next I took decreased the level of highlights to make the texture more flat.

Making of the Ent - Sculpting

Making of the Ent Sculpting The challenge was this time to develop a character and a 3D sculpture from a 2D concept. My subject is Gail, the wicked forest creature of Forestdelic records. Follow me and Gail into the procedure of creating this psychedelic and mystic creature of the woods, where musicians "cook their stuff"... and now a 3D Artist joins the cooking too. This seemed to result as pure fun in creativity and it really did. Intro As said the aim was to create Gail the Ent from a 2D sketch, which is c urrently also the logo of Forestdelic records. Obviously the 3D version of the creature would feature a lot more details than the original logo, with many details, colors and accessories, which meant a great deal of character design included in this challenge. Gail has a distinguished personality, quite some experience in special ingredients needed to create something extraordinary and continuously roams the trails of the musicians. Much of this co...
