I fought with Photoshop and Illustrator trying to make the Defiance, Ohio patch design. This article, Drawing with Photoshop Halftones should be very useful for some of the things I want to do. Unfortunately, the image that I have to work with is 72dpi so I couldn’t really do a whole lot with it. I need to find the original and scan it in at a high dpi. I scanned in the crows picture and that is a good start. Now I just need to make a logo for the “Defiance, Ohio” text since I couldn’t find any fonts I didn’t think were cheesy. I think I’m going to make the font and then cut a stencil of it, spray it, and scan that. Also, I’m going to find an anatomy book for help with drawing the skeleton for the kids with squirt guns design.
