How to Design a Logo in Adobe Photoshop

Video Transcript

"Hi! this is Kyle with Expert Village, I am going to show you some tips on designing your own logo in photo shop. Now you want to put some dimension to here. Go to your layer, make sure you are on the right layer, right click, go to layer two that is the one with the fire on it as you see and that is how you go. Now, go to layer, go back to style again you are going to want to go there, let us go to bevel and emboss. When it comes up, then let us go ahead and do the inner bevel, it is usually the easiest to go with on that thing like this, its got a lot of depth because it is a logo, you want a lot of depth and a lot of size. So, pull the size in and then you can watch it as you pull that’s the good thing about this. So, you can always see as you are doing it, soften it up, you can either want it real soft or you might want it a little more harsh. You are going to put it about a half in the middle, the size will scale about right there. Now, this bevel is creating a real nice three dimensional look even though it is just a simple, you know it is very, very simple. Now if you want to go down, here are a few other things that contour. It kind of gives it, let us try a couple of different looks, a little bit more sophisticated look, little bit wider, kind of like that, inside it is little different that is kind of cool. You just step through and then try to see the want that you like. You know it could be any specific one, I kind of like this because it gives a rim plus it still has a three dimensional look. So, we are going to keep that. Now, you can also pull the range, go up or down, you try to see, almost looks like a football. So, if your organization is football based that might be the one for you, here we go, let us pick it right in the middle, that is 25%. If you want to texture, click the texture button, go up right click on the pattern, you can try a few little patterns here if you think you want one. I don’t think we are going to go with one on here, I kind of like it the way it is, but here is one just to try it out, let us pick this one. It doesn’t really look that great, but if you scale it up very large, suddenly the textures and then you go the depth either up or let's pull the depth down, just pull it about right in the middle, right there. Now, it creates kind of a nice little texture, you can invert the texture by clicking this button and it even makes little bit… but like I say I think we are going to go without it, but that is the great thing about photo shop, just click it and it is gone. So the thing that it does is that it keeps it there. So, that way if you ever want to decide you know I like that texture, boom! it is already there, you have already programmed it until you change it."
