MAKING OF THE LOGOChin Wah Lai
STEP 1
First I typed the text, and colored the top left of the text light green and the bottom right of the text dark green. I did this to that the text would seem to have a source of light. I colored the text green, as green is associated with the environment.
STEP 2
Next I drew a leaf shape using the pen tool, and colored it the same way as I did for the text.
STEP 3
Then I split the leaf into two, adjusted the gradient of the leaf, and drew a stalk using the pen tool. This made the leaf shape look more like a leaf, and gives a stronger sense of depth and lighting for the leaf.
STEP 4
After this I drew a water drop using the ellipse tool, and placed it on the leaf. I did this to add detail to the leaf and to make the leaf look more natural and healthy. The image of a healthy leaf suggests that ETI takes care of the environment.
STEP 5
Next I copied and pasted the leaf onto different parts of the letters.
STEP 6
I then used the ellipse tool to draw a circle and put spots on it, to create a shell for the ladybug. A gradient was added to make the ladybug look more realistic.
STEP 7
Afterwards I used the pen tool to draw the antennae and head, and created a drop shadow for the bug. The shadow was added to give a sense of lighting to the bug.
STEP 8
Then I placed the ladybug onto one of the leaves. Like the water drops, the ladybug also helps to give a sense of a healthy environment.
STEP 9
Next I drew other types of leaves using the brush tool.
STEP 10
After this I used the pen tool to trace the top section from a picture of a light bulb.
STEP 11
Then I used the line tool to draw the bottom section of the light bulb.
STEP 12
Finally I combined the drawn outline of the light bulb with the generated text. The light bulbs was also colored like the text, to create a sense of lighting. Lighting is emphasized in the logo, because ETI makes and installs light bulbs, which provides lighting.
