Hi. I'm new boy at this site, but i'm using Paint.NET since 2.xx version. So i learned some tips and technics.
I prepared a lesson about making "Logo"s. But before, everybody needs to learn simple things.
I have 4 lessons more, i'll post it one by one.
Let's Start.
1- Logo's size are generally 256x256 or 512x512 pixels.
Canvas Size must be 512x512.
2- We will create elipse logo, so select the "Elipse Select".
Then, pressing Shift key, make a circle.
3-We want to create a 3D image so we will use lights. Making light effects are simple, using "Gradient Tool"
Select the "Gradient Tool" and select "Radial"
4- Then do the color works, same as in pictures below.
Default
Then, we change the colors like that.
5- Now, use the Radial Gradient like that.
6- But as we see, there is a wrong here. So, do that.
---------------------
And, Done. Looking good.
7- Now, we will do small touch ups.
Some Blur,
And some Glow.
8- For the sides, ( pixels are maybe looking bad ) we will use Super Sampling
Resize the image, 256x256.
And optional you can make a shadow. But you can't make a shadow, skip this, i will teach that to you, in other lesson.
Done. The Result is:
I will open new topics about that lessons.
