I fail amongst all of you

[Dominerd]

I live in a small town in mexico, I've been here a few years because my mom is an english teacher... I love flash and drawing, and I am the best artist where I live... yet compaired to you guys I suck.

I have done logos for beauty contests, and I've made a few logos for a local DJ ( the only DJ in town )... But still, compaired to you guys, I fail...

I plan on going back to Canada and doing some schooling in the graphics art, so I might have more of a chance, but I'll probably end up comming back to mexico because... there arn't many others who works here in this area, so I'll make more money.

I'm slowly building a web site on my home computer, where I'll show what little skill I have and profit from small Mexican companies who don't know people like you guys exist...

I think I'll name my studio either Mountain View, or Domiknows ( Dominerd is a character from Megaman)... Now, I don't want you guys to create a logo for me... but I would like some inspiration... I feel as though the abbility to create my own logo will make me feel batter, but my mind is blank... It's wierd, I can create other people's logos, but when I start thinking about the symbol that will represent myself, I'm blank... So please... any images or sites with inspiration, or tips you have for creating a modern logo for Mountain View, or Domiknows... please drop them here.

well, my first step is always to brainstorm....

so, mountain: high, peak, snow, tough, climbing, icepick, majestic, goat, grassy, alpine

etc.

then from there you often get some cool word/idea you hadn't thought of and run off on a tangent :)


and i guess it'd be alright, but maybe the fact that there's no-one in your area doing graphics work is because there's no demand for it so they've moved to other more profitable areas?

Although you're right, that if there WAS , they probably moved else where...

Nobody got where they were by putting themselves in a bubble :) I highly recommend you get out there and surf as many design sites as possible, and very soon you'll get ideas on making your own style. :thumb2: Don't quit because people are better than you, if we all did that, there would be no designers or programmers. :lol: Good luck in your progress :kommie:

I'm trying to check out a few school online, to see if it's worth the huge wad of cash to go back to Canada to learn... any suggestions for an art school thats main focus is PC art?
