Logo for Creative-Ideas.org

So... This is a Logo for www.Creative-Ideas.org
It's a website about Ideas, mostly Ideas about Social Entrepreneurship, Eco/Green stuff, Inspirational Ideas and just about everything else.

You know when we think about Ideas, we usually see the lightbulb image.
It's that simple.
and Creative-Ideas.org is about Ideas that comes from the heart.
So if fits the Final Logo :)


Here is the initial sketch

My Favorite Design / Books - Guide

Click here to go to My Store for Designs and Books.

Books are one of my favorite things in the world.
I don't buy every new books that are marked "best seller" or "new arrival"
But Sometimes , some books are just so good, I just have to have them.
Sometimes the books are published way back then, yes old books are sometimes the best.
Sometimes I find books on sale of only 3 dollars !!
Sometimes they just got published and I got attracted by the pretty cover and they turn out to be great books.
Sometimes the cover is really "ugly" and "boring" but the book turned out to be fun.
But one thing's for sure, They're filled with so much useful and amazingly true information
Even after reading it months ago, you can always go back to it and find more information that you didn't notice before.

So here are My Design / Book Recommendations. along with some ingenious design stuff :)
I'll add more stuff that I find useful for me at the store, so you can benefit from it too :)

They've given me quite a lot of useful design information and inspirations and ideas.
and I just wanna share them with you :)

Enjoy !

PS. I will do reviews of the books in future posts, in the mean time, you can just follow the link to see the books :)

How long does it take to choose a color ?

Choosing color may seem simple.
You go to someone else's website and you go "oh the color combination is so ugly"
or "oh wow the color's so cute"

So...
For me...........
I sometimes take a long time to decide on a color.
A simple line.... and I tested 20 different color before finally deciding on my first choice.
then what about a background color....
Which color ?
Do I need to add texture ? pattern ? image ?

Then when I'm set on a color, let say blue.
Then I'd test a lighter blue, darker blue, greenier blue, purplier blue....

Then I'd realize this is a Logo for baby's toy, for example,
so maybe I really shouldn't be using black.

Sometimes it takes trial and error to find a perfect color combo.
Sometimes it takes only 2 seconds ;)

So............
I sometimes take a long time to decide on a color.
But I know I'm not the only one :)

Can't seem to find the color to match ?

Well.... This website is sooooooooooooo helpful for me.

The Logo

Let's start with
Studio Kreatif's Logo

It all starts with a simple rough sketch ;)
At first I wanted to just use the initial S and K,
but when I drew it, the little guy appeared and I liked it.
so I focused on that instead of the initial.



I always love seeing other people's sketches, so here are mine :
I've never been a good sketcher anyways ;p
but that's just who I am :)



and another one



So I'm then ready to design the logo on the Computer.
And finally, the Studio Kreatif Logo
He looks like he's looking up, wishful, hoping, smiling
and He's inside of Studio Kreatif.
and I just love it.
