About The_MoUsY_spell_checker

I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.

I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.

By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

Not sure if this is the right category...but, I designed this logo on paper and I was wondering what the best way would be to create a digital copy. I do have Photoshop (very old version) on my computer, however I honestly don't know how to use it. I tried looking at Photoshop tutorials and it's very intimidating and I'm not sure where to start. I don't need to be an expert, just want to know how i can create my logo on the computer. Any advice is welcome.

If you already have the logo on paper, one option is to digitise that. If you have access to a scanner, use that. Otherwise, use the CamScanner app on a smartphone.

Once you have a digitised copy, you'll probably have to clean it up. Start with this guide for how to address specific issues. http://purdy.gatech.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/bw_sketch_scan.pdf

To be able to find your more specific information, it would help to know a bit more about the features of your logo. Does it have lots of details? How many colours? Is it more lines or large areas of solid colour? These can be the starting points for you to look up specific guides to things you want to learn to do.

(5) It's a simple animal design. It would just use a dark brown and a light brown color and possibly shading. I actually hadn't realized I could scan it and then fix it up, so thanks for the idea! It sounds way easier than recreating it which I tried and failed haha.
