McKendree University sent out an email about a contest to design a logo and slogan for the Environmental Awareness & Sustainability Committee. I decided to try as I thought this would be fun and I could improve on my Adobe Illustrator technique. It took awhile to get all the images in my design. I was informed I could not use images found online, but I could trace around them and tweak them to my own taste. If I had to draw images myself without some type of template, I would most likely come out with a bunch of stick figures. I worked for two days just tweaking and changing features I wanted added until I was finally content with my logo, but when I saved it to a pdf file, two of my images changed and had to be redone. I had a too yellow turtle and a too brown sunflower. Although this was a setback, I learned to soften my images in Adobe Illustrator to create pleasant looking images in a pdf file.
I am still not satisfied with the slogan, but for now, I am done.
Here it is:

Ok, so I recently learned about Vischeck.com and I learned how people with color blindness may see images differently, so I took a recent image I did in Adobe Illustrator which was converted to a jpg file and loaded it here and after using Vischeck.com. I have to say, that this is disappointing because so many people do not see a work as it was originally intended like my original Adobe Illustrator image above. See for yourself.
