STEP 1.
Adobe Photoshop CS
Drew the lion’s head using the ‘PEN TOOL’.
Curved areas of the lion’s head using the ‘CONVERT POINT TOOL’.
Used the ‘PAINT BUCKET TOOL’ to fill it black. This was for the outer coating of
the lion’s head/Maine.
Hid this layer and created a new one so I could make the lions inner Maine as shown
below.

2. STEP 2.
Drew the lion’s inner head/Maine and ears using the ‘PEN TOOL’.
Curved areas of the lion’s inner head/Maine and ears using the ‘CONVERT POINT
TOOL’.
Used the ‘PAINT BUCKET TOOL’ to fill the inner head/Main brown and the ears
badge.
Hid this layer and created a new one so I could make the facial features as shown
below.
STEP 3.
Drew the lion’s facial features using both the ‘PEN TOOL’ to get the outline and the
‘BRUSH TOOL’ to make the facial features bold.
STEP 4.
- Used the ‘BRUSH TOOL’ to do the outline of the face, then used the ‘PAINT
BUCKET TOOL’ to fill the rest of the face badge and the nose pink.
STEP 5.
I then started to unhide all of the layers so that I could put the lions face together. I
then grouped the layers to make them one layer instead of having three different
layers.
I then used the ‘ERASER TOOL’ to neaten edges and add more definition to the
face.
STEP 6.
I then started to add a variety of effects to make the image look more lifelike. For
example I used the ‘Bevel & Emboss’ effect to give the image more of 3D look
mixed with the ‘Drop Shadow’ effect to really make it stand out of the page. I then
went on to add the ‘Inner Shadow’ effect to make parts of the inner image stand out
more and to also make the whole image ever so slightly transparent.
I then used the ‘Inner & Outer Glow’ effects to make the image stand out even more

and to give it a glow, still keeping the image lifelike with a slight glow on the
After adding the effects I decided to use the ‘Paint bucket tool’ to change
colours.
the colour the lions eyes to red.
Fade

3. STEP 8.
To make this background I used the ‘quick shapes tool’ to create a
rectangular shape. I then used the ‘gradient tool’ to blend the two colours
shown.
I then started to add effects to the background. The effects I used dimmed
the colours so they weren’t so bright and also a paint effect so the
background would look like it had been painted.
STEP 9.
I then went on to add the text to my logo using the ‘Text Tool’.
After that I changed the colour of the text to a burnt orange.
I then went on to add effects to the text to make it look 3D and bold. I used
the ‘drop shadow effect’, the ‘Bevel & Emboss effect’, the ‘Drop Shadow
effect’, the ‘Inner Shadow effect’, the ‘Outer Glow effect’ and the ‘Inner
Glow effect’ to make the wording look 3D.
