DVD Signs


Using Pen Tool, Paint Bucket and Blend Mode 


In terms of the DVD logo age certificate and Lionsgate logo, they are all vector but the age certificate is not. To create these vector graphics I used the method to create the dripping blood for over my image. I created them using the pen tool and having the image behind to trace of but the image behind being a low opacity. I used the pen tool which was the best tool to use for this in my opinion,I placed points where I needed where it was curved this tool allowed me to create these curves. I noticed using less points for example to create a O like 2 the shape looked better and more round. 
From doing this first as like practice, I did the Lionsgate Logo without the trace and it looked just as good.
I had to change the colours of the two logos as I had a black background and the colours originally were not suited to a black background but this was easy to change.  


As for the age certificate, I used the same one as I have on my DVD Cover, except when I pasted this it brought a white background which I did not like so I removed this by going to Object > Expand and deleted the outside part. I thought that the logo with colour didn't go well with the DVD logo and Lionsgate Logo which were both black and white so I changed the blend mode to Hue which made it black and white and this fit well with the other symbols.
