Botanica Landscapes Logo

August 17, 2010

Here’s a logo I’ve made up for Botanica Landscapes in Canberra.

After doing a lot of rough drafts with a Wacom drawing tablet I ended up with this. I find using a drawing tablet with the airbrush tool is a great way to create lots of rough drafts in a short amount of time.

I choose the two hand drawn trees rough as I wanted to promote the idea of hand made landscapes. The customer loved this idea as well.

First concept with earthy colours and a more refined lines.

The final concept. I didn’t think the earthy colours were bold enough so I changed them to blues. I think this will stand out more on t-shirts, trucks and other merchandise. Blue also has the advantage of being the colour of trust.

Botanica Landscapes are very happy with the logo so I’ll move onto the website design in the coming week.

Captains Flat Mine

May 16, 2010

Here are a few photos from a trip out to Captains flat mine. Unfortunately for us, they’ve started demolishing a lot of the old structures, so the place isn’t as interesting as it was a few years ago.
