Messing around with new logo ideas.

Every so often I like to change my logo on social media, especially as I noticed that my icon on many social media platforms was circular and my usual logo just didn't work. So I was doing a tutorial on Tutsplus and changed a few things around and came up with this, which looks great in a circle as it looks 3d. Here's the link to the tutorial, https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/hazardous-red-background--psd-7 and here is the logo in use on my Google+ page. BB media G+ page

Practicing layer styles in Photoshop.

I find the learning process never ends with Graphic Design. Especially when it comes to Photoshop and Illustrator. But I also have to go and refresh my knowledge about subjects I already now about, so every so often I delve into the Tutsplus archive to find tutorials like this. The tutorial is about layer styles. Something I new about but I never used, after this tutorial though, that just might change. So below is my version of the tutorial and here is the link to the original.  Enjoy learning. http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/metallic-styles-in-photoshop--psd-5
