GRA130: Type Trace 2

Round two with the type tracing. This one took a little less time because I was able to set the kerning via InDesign as oppose to setting it by hand. This trace, I feel, went better than my last attempt.

GRA130: Type Trace Garamond and Baskerville

Can't say this was the most fun/creative project I've done, but certainly harder than you would think. Had to trace each letter from a sheet provided by the professor, make sure each letter is placed on a level line, manually set the kerning so that the characters flow together and then outline and/or fill in the letter. The hatching on "Garamond" was the most time consuming and the most intimidating one.

More Illustrator pen tool practice

You can tell that I'm having WAY too much fun with this crap....

Vancouver Canucks logo trace

Just more boredom on a Sunday night. I traced the whole thing in about 3 hours, with no breaks, just straight work. It's another basic logo that can still turn out pretty sweet. Plus, they're pretty much the only decent Canadian team in the NHL.
:P

I was bored....

So I ended up tracing the Oklahoma City Thunder logo. This logo is fairly easy to trace, I knocked it off in under 3 hours. They're one of my favourite NBA teams, so what the hell.

Character Design: Final Piece

So here's more or less of the finished product. There may still be one or two things I may have to tweak, most likely the shading, but other than that, this is basically the final product. Enjoy.
Time spent on project: 9 hrs

Character Design: Illustrator Trace

So here's my character traced into Adobe Illustrator, hopefully I can get started on the colouring this weekend.

Logo Trace #2: San Jose Sharks

Since I had so much fun tracing the Cavaliers logo, I decided to trace a second logo. This time I chose the San Jose Sharks. Again, not an incredibly hard logo to trace, but it can still turn out pretty bad ass anyway.

Happy Canada Day everyone!

Logo Trace: Cleveland Cavaliers

So this is the Cleveland Cavaliers logo that I traced in Adobe Illustrator CS5. I printed out on my shitty ink jet printer just to get a preview of what the logo will look like, to make sure everything is okay, no missing elements, correct colour etc. It's a pretty basic logo, but it can still turn out pretty bad ass anyway. The final logo should be ready by this weekend.
