Is anyone good a Photoshop?

I'm wanting a logo made but don't have much in the creativity department. PM if you have time to help. I may need some web developing skills too.

You might want to use Illustrator so that your logo is a vector graphic. This will allow you to scale it depending on what you need it for. The best advice I received on designing a logo was to think of something simple that you could draw in the sand and the person/customer would still recognize it.

Vector means that it is drawn with a math formula and thus it can be made larger and smaller with no loss in quality. A raster graphic is like a jpeg image. If you try to make it larger, it gets pixelated. Photoshop can do both, but it is mostly used for raster graphics.

Deep? Deep like a kiddy pool...

I don't have time to help you out, but what are you looking for? One way to get a logo would be to go to templatemonster.com and look at the ones they have available. I believe they send you and .ai file which is for illstrator and then you can customize it to your needs. Might be a cheap solution.

I needed to create a logo a couple of years ago... that was how I found the 30 day trial. Apparently they always have it.

I finished my logo in a couple of days, exported it, uninstalled the software, and was done!

What are you looking for?

I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium...(pretty much full versions of everything Adobe makes that is classified as a "graphic design" program)

I'd be glad to help out...I'm thinking about going freelance anyway so I could use the experience/references
