Made a logo for a classmate.</p> <p>Her name is Blackbird in Dutch, yes we have such a gorgeous name, and she wanted something either ink-y or sketch-y, not girly and not to graphical and futuristic. She also once tried to make herself a logo with the facts about the bird, but that didn’t worked out. So I tried that instead! <br/>One colour besides black and white. Hence the double nest Merel. The lower nest is with one extra colour. First I made the little legs Merel, but I thought the nest would work better.. But the teacher wanted to see the little legs finished too. So tada, Merel liked it.</p> <p>(Merel’s making my logo.. haven’t seen it yet so I’m curious!)</p>http://appelillustrations.tumblr.com/post/48711081039http://appelillustrations.tumblr.com/post/48711081039Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:37:30 -0400school assignmentlogoMerelBlackbirdphotoshopsketchnestbirdappeltjesgroen<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/000ce85085794c9a72405e14c8ad8fd2/tumblr_mjkfuadtKs1qi84mho1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>School assignment - Editorial Illustration</p> <p><em>Angry?
