Designing and Producing a Logo Graphic

I have been asked by a Turkish football company called Galatasaray to

design and produce a logo for their website www.galatasaray.co.uk.

I must produce the company logo graphic to meet ‘Galatasaray’ design

brief:

· image must use Colour

· image must incorporate text and graphics

· image must be no larger than 3 inches square

The company is interested in seeing my skills so I should make sure I

demonstrate that I can use:

· drawing tools (e.g. line, shape, text, brush, Colour, spray)

· attribute tools (e.g. fill, line thickness)

· manipulation tools (e.g. move, size, copy, paste, flip or mirror,

rotate, zoom)

I will be making the bitmap logo in Paint. I will show my steps in

screen shots and explain how I made my bitmap logo in Paint.

What Is a Bitmap Image?

A bitmap is a collection of pixels (dots) that describes an image, in

human terms, a complete picture. A bitmap can be of various bit depth

and resolution. Basically, a bitmap is an array of pixels.

What is a pixel?

A pixel is the most basic component of any computer graphic. Pixel

stands for picture element. It corresponds to the smallest thing that

can be drawn on a computer screen. Every computer graphic is made up

of a grid of pixels. When these pixels are painted onto the screen,

they form an image. This grid of pixels is called a bitmap.
