Oh, wait, it's 4chan.

I'm not finalizing the layout.
I was really only experimenting with the colors. You can see on the layer tab there are hidden layers that I was messing around with.

I dig it! especially the colored version. the font choice is also very fitting. reminds me of the pan am logo.

here are some minor ideas on what could be tweaked a bit. not saying any of my (very slight) changes are definite improvements. but maybe there is an adjustment or two that you enjoy. I tried enhancing the impression of movement, but on the other hand comparing these two I am not even sure that is such a good thing.

I'd use InDesign. Because using a page layout app for page layout is what you do, dummy.
I'd explain why it's important, but it's obvious you're not a designer, and never will be one. So don't sweat it, NEET.

The current one is a copied and pasted stock photo. They were probably scammed by some dumb nigger designer.

Mine is symmetrical, modular and has character(doesn't look like a yawning lion and my lion is aggressive).

It's already circular thus already works as a badge unlike the previous one that require circles and text, allowing it to be used more wherever.

Introducing more shades of color to the team's identity and codifying black(which has been in use by Simba for a while) to the club's identity.

While that may be true, I'm not really sure if companies really care that much to check if their logo gets uploaded to a Swiss letterset embellishing forum, much less the designers who post on it.
If it were something like say, designing for Arsenal, I might understand, but "Simba Sports Club"? Really?

I'm getting into graphic design and logo design, just wanted to ask: Do I really need to sketch shit in order to design a logo? Why is that common practice and not just doing it all on the computer with Illustrator? What are the benefits of doing it on pen and paper?

>>441191
>I'd use InDesign
kek, lmao even

>>441586
That's freaking cool dude, did you illustrate or was it all photoshop? I'm interested

>>441866
use higher quality images - there are free databases like pixaby that you can use

>>441896
I do that lol. Although I've also had colleagues who didn't so it's not something you have to do.
It's just comfier for me to draw something first before I trace it into a vector. It's much more fluid to turn a figure I'm currently imaging with a pencil over a computer input. But do whatever works for you.

>>441900
Thanks, honestly computer is better for me but if that's not available I'll use pen and paper, thing is I can't draw for shit so it just feels so uncomfortable to me

>>441897
What's wrong with inDesign?

>>441902
Don't get me wrong, it's great for editorial design and I prefer working with it over Illustrator for text-heavy designs, it really is simply better for that, but anything involving
"elements" rather than text bodies is something I'd rather handle with vectors in Illustrator. Illustrator even comes with alignment focused tools like guides, bleed, and indesign-like column-row divisions in a single click. Having all three programs open and switching to the best one for the job is the way I work and saves me time and wasted effort that would be spent trying to do something in IDD that I'd shit out in 5 seconds using AI

>>441904
wtf it really makes no sense to me why you would even mention this.
nobody ever created a logo in indesign.

due to the light rim around the subjects in the photographs, the white versions are definitely better.
personally I like the black and white version the most, since it appears most tidy of them all. but I think that for reasons of wanting to draw attention to the poster actually the colored version (white) is best.

overall decent posters. tho you should work more on readability. you are lacking a higher sense of structure, which makes reading and understanding its contents unneccessarily tedious.

Its kind of hard to figure out what's going on in the logo. Once you figure it out it looks great but it takes some time. The bigger the logo, the harder it will be to see, i think.

How to achieve this kind of effect?

How do you guys come up with your designs, specially for posters? Do you sketch thumbs with pen and pencil beforehand or do you just copy and paste shit around and go with trial and error until it looks good?

>>443940
I sketch first.

>>443941

Sketch, scan, photoshop, then vector.

>>443940
depends on what the goal is.
different settings and prerequisites do indeed inform the approach.
also (and to be very frank) my brain works differently in these instances. so my route is also depending on how I feel, or what mental mode (mood?) from experience I consider more productive in the individual case.

but to give a more concrete answer as you would expect it; overall it is primarily digital sketching for me that directly ties into the following digital workflows. I am much quicker exploring ideas in ps than I am on paper. allthough admittedly also not equally as sharp.
either way I rarely end up with something that contains more of the original idea than the rough concept.

I need to make a cannabis related logo showing the golden gate bridge and LA city/skyline. It'll say "Bay to LA" in it. They want a fucking QR code in it too, wtf do I do bros.

InDesign's ideal for brochures, books, magazines, etc. Complicated or large layouts..
