So I started with google searching news logos and backgrounds that are actually being used in the real world. I realized that they usually are simplistic and clean. I wanted mine to stay "simplistic" but I wanted it to be something cool to look at; not necessarily "clean". Mine has a more "rough look" to it I would say, it still looks sharp (because I used the sharpening filter (lol)). Throughout making it, I had multiple different concepts and originally was trying to make a logo until I realized it had to be a background. I checked out a camera and took photos of equipment we have and surrounded the equipment around Francis Tuttle's logo for my original design... then I had to scrap it bc I realized I was making a LOGO and not a BACKGROUND. So I took my original idea and went along with what I had and made this. I am very proud of it and think it looks very cool and is satisfactory for the project; hopefully my instructor agrees too.
