D2 ink'd and 10 sec logo- j clark

one thing i tried to keep in mind is the fact that you said that we should try our best to try to keep images out of the logos so i tried to make my logos based off of that aspect.

For some reason the spare graphic elements on the left side of the 10 Sec racing logo still show up even though they were deleted so please ignore it.

In the first one, I have my INKD logo bigger, and in the second I add in different colors.
In my first Racing logo, it seemed really simple so I changed the letters to look somewhat like a car, but couldn't quite figure out how to make it look right.

explanation for upcoming D2 logos

"Ten Second Racing" is a top of the line manufacture of high quality aftermarket automotive racing parts. They have been in the business for 60 years now and think it is time for a change. They are looking for a typographic logo that will look modern in the automotive world. This logo needs to be modern yet sophisticated enough to give it a timeless look. They are on top and need to look the part.   Choice in colors and number of colors is up to you.
The name "Ten Second Racing" can be subject to change such as "10 Second Racing" or "10 Sec Racing"


 "Ink'd Studios" is new in town and needs a creative and eye catching logo for their new business. They pride themselves on clean work and a clean work place so they need a design that obviously represents that it's a tattoo shop, but does NOT look grungy, low grade or cheap.   They are open to any color scheme.

D2 tutorial #2- Amie

I know it's late, but here is my tutorial anyways

Create 4 vertical lines using the Rectangle tool. Make the first one and then copy and paste to make the others.  Choose your colors for your Palette. You can find color palettes here Kuler . Next add a linear gradient effect to each line. 

Select all lines and go to Object>Envelope Distort and choose Make with Mesh. Use the preview to see the mesh before you click Ok. Choose for 4 columns (1 for each line) and 2 rows (to have only 1 handle vertically in the center).

Tweak the lines mesh by dragging on the handles. 

Now you will duplicate the layer with the lines mesh on top of the original mesh. Click the layer target circle icon on the right in the layers palette and then change the mode to Overlay. Move the shape around a little to make it more interesting. 

You can also tweak it with the Warp, Pucker and Bloat or other transformation tools. I just copied the design and rotated it. This could be used in all types of designs.

D1~ Erica~ Tutorial 2, Creating a Vignette for a Photo using Curves

First of all, a Vignette is a way to bring attention to an object in a photo by making other parts darker.

Open a photo and duplicate layer~ go down to the circle with a half blue and white (new adjustment layer) and select curves 

This opens the Curves adjustment layer

Next you will adjust the dark 

      dot over quite a bit 

and also bring the one in the middle down

Here comes the Gradient part,  it is also the paintbrush tool so you may have to right click to view the gradient tool

At the top select the foreground to background color and press Shift D for default colors which are black and white.  Press Shift X to get the black as foreground color.

Now press the circle gradient button

Click once in the middle of the photo and drag out to the edge of photo 

The closer or further you extend this will determine how much is to be darkened.
