WideRight Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hello everyone, great site, some amazing artists.I have been away from this site and its boards for a while now, ever since the shakeup a few years ago. I hung around the Fanhome boards a bit, and I don't post often, but I have been so impressed with the creative vibe on this page, that I thought I would like to post a few things.These are a few designs I made with Corel Draw over the past 5 years for my fantasy football league. I usually average about 40-50% original drawings and the rest copies or modifications of other logos. I figure I will just post the original ones so you can give me some feedback. I am not a graphic designer by trade, just a guy who likes sports and was willing to plunk down some money for a design program (I use Corel Draw Essentials now). I assume that using Draw I am creating raster images, and they tend to come out iffier on the web when I convert them, so any hints about how to improve using Essentials would be great.So, here are some older ones. I am currently working on a 16 team new-USFL or WFL style league, which I eventually hope to develop into a computer based league (totally controlled by me--megalomaniacal laughter here--and which might end up on the net.) These logos are from the league history website that my fantasy league (not just me, 12 guys) have.Most of them are from designs from as early as 1987 and on the older version of Draw.Kansas Twisters: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Midfield/6804/kanlogo.jpgOakland Terrors: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Midfield/6804/oaklogo.jpg and http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Midfield/6804/oaklogo2.jpgOrlando Panthers: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Midfield/6804/orllogo.jpgSan Antonio Express: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Midfield/6804/sanlogo.jpgThese are the most/almost-completely original ones, the main website has the rest.

yh Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I remember running across that CFFL website while surfing a couple of years ago. Yeah, you and your cronies have quite a thing going there. Very nice stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pagan696 Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I assume that using Draw I am creating raster images, and they tend to come out iffier on the web when I convert them, so any hints about how to improve using Essentials would be great.CorelDraw is a vector (lines) based program that will allow you to import and export raster (pixel) images. if you're saving or exporting as *.jpg or *.gif, those are indeed raster files. make it a reasonable web size (ie: not too big) at 72 ppi. also use the RBG color gamut for onscreen display. looking forward to seeing your work here.

STL FANATIC Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 PSP is not compatible with AI, but is vector also. Is CorelDraw compatible with either? JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoneranger Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Hooray-another Corel guy! Hey -you might want to check out the "Requests" board-someone over there was looking for a logo for their team called the "Death" that your "Terrors" logo fits perfectly!
