A little photoshop help, please...


Recommended Posts

Hi guys, my school's gymnastics team has asked me to design their logo for them. The coach drew out what he wants, but I'm having trouble making one part of the logo. The logo will be used on a t-shirt / hoodie.

What I need to know is how to make something like this:

circle2401326ed1cd224c8of7.png

It's terribly simple, but it serves as the base as the logo, the rest will go inside.

I realize I could chose a circle brush and hope to make a perfect circle by clicking the mouse a billion times... But I'm thinking there's a somewhat more geometric way of doing this, haha.

Thanks in advance,

Melee

Use the circle tool and hold shift? Make a bunch of circles.. and then make a big circle, change fill opacity to 0% and give it a stroke, and use that bigger one as a guide for the rest.

If that's the only way, I don't mind doing it. I just thought there'd be a more precise way to do it. Thanks man.

First off, don't use photoshop. Using raster for logos is a no-no. (just my opinion, i know i know)

You should be using Illustrator, or any other vector application.

With Illustrator at least, you can move things precisely, and also automate it. Make a long triangle that is long (radius of the large circle design) then put a circle (ring) on the end so it looks sort of like one of the things on NBC's logo. Then rotate it once using the rotate tool and "copy" checked (so it doesnt move the one you made and instead duplicates it with the rotation), and you can just hit ctrl+D (i think.. might have to check.. but it's for move again) and you can have it done in like... 5 seconds. Pull out the extra space (triangle part) and you're done. I'm not in front of Illustator so I may have missed a few details, but the process is really quite simple... just hard to explain.

You can achieve this in Photoshop quite easily, however it is a long winded process using many layers and things, so I wont get into it here... there's about 2000 tutorials on the subject matter if you just Google it.
