Two important features of this picture: editing that took me quite a long time and a NEW LOGO! After reading several design magazines and seeing the breath taking editing, I decided try my hand at artistic editing. I took a regular picture of a rose and turned it into something that I would be proud to hang on my wall as artwork. Believe it or not, the editing on the background took me longer than the rose itself. First, I recolored the background due to the fact that it was a much darker green than what I desired. Quite a few brush strokes and filters later, I had a finished background. The rose stumped me for quite sometime. I feared the rose would blend into the background too much. My goal was to have the background compliment the vibrant tones in the rose. The outline around the rose blended the whole picture together to complete the image.
As for the logo, I originally was going to go with something more round. However, I am pleased with the final product. I plan on editing the colors as needed for each picture. The original can be seen below in a grey version. I am really excited to finally have something to brand. You can be sure that you'll be seeing this little guy in the future.
