Because I am a professional photograph restorer, and have both programs. Occasioanlly I use both, they are part of the same package, the CS2 package. Just incase you were wondering, that ivesons file was a jpeg, so I couldnt just open it up and change the colours I had to re build one in the same way. As you can see the stars positions arent perfect but in another 20 mins I could have had an identical replica of the same colours/text/size etc etc, Luke

do you have any before and after shots of your work in photoshop luke. i like to look at other peoples work

LWC has some good work

Your talking to me like I know nothing I am a Photoshop professional, I just prefer photoshop, I have all the professional equipment. Very expensive graphics tablets etc etc. I use illustrator regularly but to do this it was easier just to do it on Photoshop, Luke

[Captain Scarlet]

Yes I have a portfolio of my work. I did consider following it as a proper career when I left school last year. Now I don't have time to do it as much as I would like to practice my skills, Luke

if your a professional then you should know what the best application is to create a logo?

Yes I do, but Photoshop is adeqaute for what I needed to do and another reason why I used it was because all those blue/orange style gradients are Photoshop only so I couldnt have used them in Illustrator. If your trying to get on my nerves your succeeding!

[Captain Scarlet]

From the way your talking you sound quite expereinced in this department so why don't you post some of your work on here. I would genuienly like to see it

I ain't trying to get on your nerves. Photoshop will produce logos but only to what size you create it at. the memory would be to big as well. how would you make a logo bigger if you needed it?

you can gradient in illustrator as well. all the tools are still the same as photoshop

Here is a very early example of some restoration I did. This pictures is of my dad when he was in the atc. This picture went through a house fire and as you can see is very badly damaged. As I said this is an early example and I didnt employ many of the skills I since learnt but it was on this computer so it was easier to upload onto Picasa!

My speciality isnt logos, but I'm getting better at them all the time, infact I've been doing quite a few lately, Luke

here luke a little insight into why you create logos and graphics in illustrator and why you use photop for editing pictures

Understand that Illustrator creates vector graphics and vector text. Vector graphics consist of lines and curves that contain mathematical objects called vectors.

Understand that Photoshop creates bitmapped graphics. Bitmaps consist of tiny dots of color. The eye fills in the spaces between the dots so the color appears to be solid. Bitmapped graphics are measured by the number of dots per unit - usually called dpi (dots per inch).

That looks the business to me - as a layman

I'm not talking about gradients, i'm talking about styles that can be applied to shapes. Heres where I got some of the styles for the ivesons logo:

I'm confused as to why you need styles for shapes, could you explain a little further? cheers

[nat]

when i'm on my mac i'll post some piccys up. i'm on my laptop so none stored on here

[Captain Scarlet]

the style applied to the shapes/text creates that border and gradient around the edges, its sometmes a quicker way than designing your own stuff! Luke

I love looking at other peoples work, I learn most of my techniques from doing this. A  brilliant site for looking at other poples photoshop/illustrator work is here:
