Stage 1

In the beginning I found it difficult to figure out what would go on the logo whether it would be all writing or I would use the idea from other logos to use the face of the Brothers. But eventually I used the idea of the face and once I had found the picture I used Photoshop to help edit the picture a little using the lasso tool and some airbrushing.

In Illustrator I used a vector which helped me to highlight different parts of the face and change the colour and look of the image. However I felt that the vector limited certain things I wanted to do with the colour on the image. But so far:

As you can see on the Image I have highlighted apart of the image to see how the vector has pinpointed certain parts of the face the limitation is really because the smaller parts that you can see on the image are harder to put colour on that's why the image still looks half unfinished because I am deciding whether to leave it as it is or continue adding more colour and shade. Besides the image I thought about How I am going to input the writing : the logo and the extra information about the joke shop. At first I was just going to use the head and put the writing at the bottom and the top but that would look disorganised so decided to make a circle to make the basis of the design and put the face inside.

The colour choice of the circle was orange and grey because I felt those two colours who compliment each other because looking at the earlier research I did on many of the logos for the joke shop orange was an essential colour to use. I chose Grey because I felt that the orange is a bright colour and matching it with grey which is a quite neutral colour would help the writing and the central image to stand out.
