I'm in graphic design school, and I've been working with Adobe for 3 years now. I can do great things with digital painting, but I just don't have the skill set necessary for creating winning logos. I get a lot of practice by submitting designs to contests all the time, but I just can't seem to make a logo that impresses people. In school, we are still working in Photoshop, and I go into 3d Modeling next term. I'm blowing right through these classes. But I'd like to get started learning now. What do I need to know to really make some good logos?
I'm about intermediate level in Illustrator. I haven't really gotten much practice in InDesign, but that's going to be a big part of my career. Photoshop is nothing for me. I've recreated all kinds of paintings and done a few of my own, so I've got the creative bone... but why can't I design a freakin logo???
