icon

Icon practice.

Took a tennis ball and made it a square icon. 
1. First made a rough outline in Illustrator.
2. Then colored it in. (I like doing a rough color in Illustrator because they have a color guide. Work smarter not harder!)
3. I took the vector images into Photoshop and added some textures.
4. Then added shading to make it more realistic.
This is the third Icon I have created and it just needs to be more fuzzy.


I went to two French Exit shows this week. One at the Blue Star and one at Duke's House. 
Discovered two pretty awesome bands. 
The first one is Signals Midwest _ here is a link to their CD  http://signalsmidwest.bandcamp.com
