Redrawing an embroided logo

Hi all

I'm back again with some cool tips on using Photoshop and illustrator. Today I had a client who misplaced or lost his original company logo art file so he provided an embroidered logo shirt. The art was an outline of a car which made the tracing a bit easier on me.

To redraw the logo, I placed the shirt nice and flat on my scanner and scanned at 300 dpi. After scanning, I placed the scan in Adobe Illustrator as a template with opacity at 50%. In wireframe, you can begin to trace with the pen tool around your logo. Hope this helps a bit on redrawing a logo. More to come

Making a watermark backdrop image in Photoshop

Create your image in a new layer in Photoshop. At the top of your layers palette, you'll see the opacity slider. Slide the opacity to about 25% so that your image is faint. Add text over you transparent image. There you have it, a watermarked backdrop image.
