Sid's Art Space
Saturday 2 August 2014
Initially doodling started off as something i did when i was inclined not to pay attention in school .Soon it developed into a hobby then a passion .There were times when my tutors wished they could handcuff me to stop me from drawing all the time , on the books , on little scraps of paper and even my own clothes at times .I have always tried to draw without a subject in my head .To let my hand move the way it wished to .
"The sunflower left his sunny meadow ,
to go to a place which was ice cold , mean and not warm yellow ,
there was no sunshine there , no love there and so he wilted down,
till he died at last with a frown,
he wasn't sad that it didn't work out ,
he was sad because he knew he had tried to make it count .."

The problem with starting off with a logo is
the fact that there were so many ideas buzzing around in my head .The challenge
was to find the few elements which would come together to create a simple image
that would resonate with what I was branding myself as .ie. an artist .
I wanted to do something with the letter
“S” so I started off with writing the letter down on a piece of paper and
playing around with its structure .
I knew I wanted to do something with the
color blue , but I didn’t want to choose a shade that would be too mainstream
but at the same time It had to catch the eye of the people looking at it and
give off a “chilled out” feeling .
I played around with watercolors till I was
able to find a shade which I liked , I had combined blue and green to create a color
of my own which reminded me of a clear blue sea and that is where I got the
inspiration to create a wavy pattern around the “S“.
My first idea was to leave the logo the way
it was at that point but I couldn’t shake off
the feeling of something being missing from it .When I looked at my
drawing book I knew what I needed to add to complete this piece .I saw my
pencils lying around and I knew they had to be a part of my logo .I took a
picture of a freshly sharpened new pencil and created a frame like effect ,
symbolic of the fact that art truly does complete me .
After that I used Adobe Illustrator to bring
all the components of what I had created together and then added on to the
saturation of the colors to create a glossy effect , and that was the end of
the logo making process .
