I saw the tweet for their contest thought it was a great opportunity and excuse for me to use Illustrator and Photoshop. Admittingly, I'm still testing things out and illustrator confuses me a lot more than Photoshop but I learned that they both go hand in hand very well and I am loving it! A friend and mentor of mine is planning on giving me some tutorial CDs soon on illustrator and I'm totally stoked about learning soon! Until then, I'll rely on your constructive criticisms on how to make my designs BETTER.
So the point of this contest is to make a background for Barney's and the only requirement is that it includes their logo. In this design I used illustrator to draw each building and then photoshop to add the logos and windows.
I did three different versions where the difference is just the color of the "barneys new york logo." My personal favorite is the one with Purple, Orange and Blue but my sister liked the yellow one too so I submitted both. And then submitted a black and white one cuz maybe they'd like it to be more neutral and cool.
Anyhow, that's my first twitter background design ever so the size might not be exact but I made it so that it's ok to chop off a little off the top and it will still look good. I know that the tweets are in the middle but I prefer the city to be continuous instead of chopped into two pieces with an empty space in the middle so that when you scroll ALL the way to the bottom, you'll know it's one continuous city. What's also nice is that it looks good as a desktop background too! It's currently mine and I like the color change when it switches through each version.
