Doing My Own Logo Design Was Not A Good Experience

I don’t know why, but for some reason I fancy myself a bit of a graphics artist, even though I have no formal training in the discipline. It think it’s just one of those careers that always sounded cool to me, and I wish I had taken it up at a younger point in my career when maybe I could have gotten better at it. It sits right up there on my wanna-be career list with computer games designer, marine biologist, rock star and professional beach bum. Seriously, wouldn’t those be great jobs. I’m still holding out hope for the professional beach bum, but my finances are not supporting my aspirations at the moment.

Anyway, all kidding aside, let’s get back to the title here, which was being my own logo designer. I have a few websites and I figure doing logo design can’t be all that difficult since it’s only a little graphic. It’s not like I’m trying to render a 3d graphics scene with Maya or anything. Any, as it turns out doing even the simplest of graphics can be tough if you don’t have a sound understanding of the basic principals. And don’t get me wrong here, understanding design principals doesn’t mean you have the entire menu of Adobe Photoshop memorized, and can recite the manual forward and backwards. Basically, if you understand the principals you can do an amazing logo design with a pencil and paper. Well, maybe a few colored pencils would work better. So, my lesson has been learned, time to go looking for a good logo designer.

Unfortunately, it’s physically a very high impact game, and can be hard on the muscles and joints. You will need to spend time with a few online massage schools grads to help in the healing afterwards. Getting older makes it a bit harder to play the game, and the top massage schools online know what it takes to get you back in shape for your next game.
