GFX My New Avatar (unless I change it in the future)

Goggwell · May 21, 2015

I was looking for some free fonts to download, and I came across one called 'GOGOIA'.

Looks amazing! And the design preview I looked at for this font on Behance was simply jaw-dropping.

It looked juicy and vibrant, and flat. I like flat.

So I tried to do my own spin on an avatar with that font (using inspiration from the preview), and this is what I made:

This was sharpened with a High Pass filter. I also have one that isn't sharpened so it looks considerably juicer (and maybe flatter, who knows).

Too blurry? View it in a New Tab.

These are some sexy flat curves Did you create that light bulb using circles and rectangles?

Sweet Did you do all this in Illustrator or Photoshop?

It's easy enough to do in Photoshop

More complex flat shapes will take place in Illustrator. That's why I now trace images in Illustrator instead of Photoshop, cause I really like the Pen Tool there.

Thanks I guess I will need to switch to Illustrator when creating flat images. I still can't get used to the shortcuts and the way this program operates.

EDIT:

When resized, the bulb isn't visible
