Let's pretend we haven't all been saying this since the freshman's first game. I have been searching for an image to create a logo and finally found one. Hope ya'll like it:

Awesome

Tim, how did you make it look so clean or whatever? Is this a vector thing that you always talk about? What program did you use?

Yes. This isn't a vector but I used a Vector program to clean up the lines and exported a bitmap of the design.

I use freeware called Inkscape. It has many applications that I can't figure out. I do all the artwork by hand or in Paint.net then convert the image using Inkscape.

Adoble Illustrator is the best Vector program you can get but much like Photoshop, it is very expensive.

If you Google "vector illustration" you can see what is capable and why some projects are better as vectors as opposed to raster images.

All my logo work goes through the conversion process.

Yes, it would look good on a shirt. Really, the text should be changed for commercial purposes as Dafont clearly states its fonts are for personal use only.

I would have submitted it to a company but I believe NCAA doesn't allow depictions of actual athletes.

I won't be printing any of these.

I won't be printing any as I just printed a large bunch of the Peterson Death Valley shirts.


Are any of those still available? I'm interested and will be at the game this weekend.

Be sure to share if you create anything. Illustrator is an incredibly powerful tool for creating solid colored images. I haven't even broken the surface about what is possible.

One of my friends is an accomplished artist and his Vector stuff is incredible. He suggest I purchase a graphic tablet but I don't think I am quite talented enough to warrant that purchase. Perhaps later after more practice.

Yes, I have quite a few left. I won't be coming to this game though. I will make one more this season so you could hold out until then or drop me your email and we can work out a way to ship one your direction.


I'm able to wait. Let me know when you will be coming to a game. email is .... Respond when you have it so I can edit to remove


Edited to remove email

Get one, I love mine and it speeds up editing and work flow so much, i keep the pen in one hand and my other hand on the keyboard and its amazing how fast you can work. Plus its much more natural to hold a pen than it is to click a mouse.
