AppleMacfan95 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Hi, Im trying to create a uniform/logo concept for the Houston Rockets and a new uniform concept for the Houston Astros. Houston has so much history in sports, I just want to incorporate old iconic colors and new uniform design together. I was wondering what software people use to create such uniform and logo concepts.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 GIMP works well and it's free. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOppenheimer Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 CS is expensive and Inkscape works just as well as illustrator. Also for like 30 bucks you can get Corel Paint Shop Pro, which isn't much worse than Photoshop. I thought I saw somewhere that they were giving away Photoshop CS2 for free, so you may want to look into that. Ignore what Jaker52 says about Inkscape, I've seen many people make better concepts than he does with it.

drdougfresh Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Software doesn't make the design. So instead of worrying about what's "best" (no program is going to make great art for you), focus on learning the required skills in one program, and work on improving your quality and efficiency. I've seen work done in Paint that dwarfs what some people do with Illustrator. It's all in how you learn and utilize the tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake88 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 For about the most user friendly, and easy, design program, I highly recommend Paint.net, it's about as easy to work in as Paint, but includes layers, and other higher program tools. It's what I use.For a tutorial (yes I know its hockey, but these are the basics for concept making) here,http://www.hockeyjerseyconcepts.com/p/paintnet-tutorial.htmlGood Luck on your search!

pianoknight Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Drdougfresh is dead on. I'm a notorious Paint user, but I try to be detailed as hell and put thought in my design instead of just turning up the lens flare filters in PS or Gimp. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

pianoknight Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I also use Pixlr.comIt's a Photoshop-lite that's entirely in the cloud. Advantage - no install, always in a browser. Disadvantage - have to save your work offline, can't continue from a previous session easily. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.
