Metallic Finishes are Hot!

How do you blend elements from nature with the latest style in finishes? Here is how I created this aspen leaf logo with foil finish.

I usually work in Adobe Illustrator to develop logos, but this one was designed by moving the vector leaf shape into Adobe Photoshop and then applying the gold foil pattern and gradients to the artwork and text. I then plopped it back in to Illustrator and created Lisa’s business card with a blue foil pattern on the bottom back to make the text pop and attract the eye of those she hands them to.

She is working on her website next, where this finish has the potential to really shine!
