J210 Unit 2 logo information

I probably could have talked about the logo I created in my first blog post, but I didn't.  So, to complete my J210 Unit 2 blog posting assignment, I thought I'd quickly share some information about my logo (which you can see at the top of this blog's homepage).

I knew I wanted something whimsical with a dash of color to it.  While I am taking the class and assignments seriously, I did not want my blog to be overtly serious.

I used PhotoShop to expand the canvas from my original photo to the right of the portrait, to give it a more rectangular view, something akin to a business card.  Exactly what I wanted.  This was saved as a .jpg file.

PowerPoint was used to add the font.  It was as simple as starting with a blank slide, and inserting a picture.  It took a little time, and some trial and error, to get the font I wanted, and the size I wanted it.

I changed the font and color for the word "Warp" to give it something that stands out.

This was all then saved as a single picture, in a .jpg format.  This allowed me to easily upload it to my blog as it's logo.
