I had to make a Made in America Seal for a project I was working on, thought, “while I’m at it, why not make a couple graphics for some T’s or whatever”. Got to playing around with them and whipped these out real fast like. Of course, I already had cheater images to start with, which cut half the time off of making these two beauties, but I ain’t one to look a “Gift Eagle” in the mouth…
THESE WERE THE IMAGES I STARTED WITH
I wanted the final images in black/white/grey. So the first thing I did was strip out colors. While I was at it I fixed a few minor imperfections I noticed, then added a some borders with a grungier feel, a little splatter here and there, duplicated and resized some stars, and finally added some text…and…
THESE WERE THE IMAGES I FINISHED WITH
HERE THEY ARE WITH A BLUE/WHITE DUOTONE FILTER
You know how I like my blue…
HERE’S ONE WITH PURPLE/WHITE & ONE WITH MAROON/WHITE
Maybe not my best work but it really didn’t take too long to do these. Besides, I almost always learn something new when I spend time on images like this. Of course, I don’t recall learning anything specific on these, but either way they will be added to “the things I may never use, but spent time creating” pile.
Do you like outdoor games?
Maybe you’ll like this one…
