Hello everyone..
This is basically just a diary of all the graphics work I have done and my progress.
I am doing this for some reason:
+ for inspiration
+ Awareness
+Progress

Would start up then.... My name is Dipo

Please . relax and take a chill pill

Yeaa.. So like I said.. Name is Dipo
And all my skills(if they are worthy to be called that) are self taught or maybe I should say YouTube taught...whichever.. Not sure how long it is that I got my system(laptop) buh it is either its not yet up to a year or its a little past a year.. Before I got it, I saw other peoples designs and just wanted to do mine too.. I love art and also like to make money .. So that could be my two inspiration...
The way I started might make you think I am now an expert, please don't be deceived.. Ayam not rara.. I just want to share my story and in the process get clients too ..

When I got my system.. I remember that “I am going to computer village” became an anthem... Considering the fact that I don't usually go out on my own before then.. I was ‘gingered’ to go.. Went there... Got Pes16 and 15 ( as a guy naa football first) bought controllers too then finally managed to buy coreldraw and photoshop7.0. Got home Installed it.. Football games first.. They installed. Then the graphic programs.. As expected some didn't work

Most of them were just blank discs.. Pes7.0 , illustrator, coreldraw. Only ones that worked

Then the YouTube trip started.. Kept searching... Before I got a working illustrator.. I had the photoshop7.0 first so I was working with Ps7.0 first. . there wasn't much videos on ps7.0 so I just downloaded videos for cs6 and Cc and tried working it with 7.0.. I was deceiving myself..


I was able to design something sha..

Following...

And this...


And Yes.. I am A PROUD member of IACC... That's our Baba Woli By the way

I did one other one laidat sha.. I happen not to know where it is again... So I just completed 3 designs basically and gave up.... I didn't buy any program again and didn't bother about designing... Channeled all my energy to Pes and alas.. I became a God ... I resumed school.. Changed my walking steps to that of someone that now owns a system of his (don't bother asking about this).. Started inviting people for games.. We played.. I won some and I lost most... Until it became I won most and lost some... Leaving Football out of it.. I sha later came to nairaland... I only knew the front-page and the pet section then (also a dog lover).. When I finally came to the art graphics and videos part I was wowed . by the logos section mainly.. I wanted to start again... And thanks to Mtn 25 naira night plan I have gotten somewhere

When I started again... I did this first.. Saw a tutorial on something like that and did mine sha

I almost forgot to mention this.. From here onward I was working with illustrator... Yeah.. Finally got a working one..did all these with illustrator

I know I gbinyanju thank you..

Later.. Wanted to do something payable.. I tried this sha

Horrible right?? Trust me..I know

After doing that horrible job.. I decided to stay away from color...Then I watched this tutorial of a line art kinda stuff sha... Its just drawing with the pen and no color.. Just white and black..

Then

On my celebrity crush

I dinnurh like that one.. So I did another

Then..... 18+ pleaseeeeee

Ayam not putting the real picture of this

Then this

I then made this friend that has been amazing.. She had a page for shoes and bags and asked if I could work on a logo for her... I wanted to do buh I didn't have much idea.. I sha did something.. It wasn't a logo buh I did something

With the stuff I did.. She referred me to another friend that also wanted a logo too.. Her brand deals with weaves and makeup products.. Royalty signatures.. Days passed and I had no idea about what I wanted to do... I thought about doing the typographical logo stuff.. Worked on it too... Added a face and used this

Came up with this

By the way.. I designed all the social media logos myself.. Didn't import...


I didn't like the look and I did more

More

Decided to do more again, a different concept this time around

Sent all the logos to her and told her whichever she likes.. And I actually got paid which I am happy about..

Ever since.. I have been playing around cartoons

Did this today

That's about all my story.. I have questions for the logo designers.. How do you get inspirations and ideas for a brands logo and make it nice ...

And you guys should rate me.. Any other artwork would be posted
