After successfully scanning the image, the next step is to increase the resolution. Technically the higher the resolution, the better the image will look. For this logo we need to increase the resolution to 600. The following step is to select the grayscale color mode. The final step in the prep is to adjust the scale to 100%. Save file as Tiff.
Clean Up:
Once the Image has been prepped, while still in Photoshop the next step is to adjust the blacks and the whites so that the image becomes a lot sharper and without the patchy spots.
I then changed the image size to 8400 while keeping the image ratio. Save Image as PSD and JPG
Live Trace in Illustrator:
Using Illustrator is a viable solution but I still like to use Photoshop a lot better. By using the black and white live trace preset the image really becomes sharp and at this point it looks like it could be the final product.
Logo Reconstruction Using the PEN Tool in Illustrator:
This was my first time using the Pen Tool in Illustrator and It was tricky and awkward at first. After getting the hang of it the bat logo that was traced came off of the original and onto the new logo.
File Format:
When I scanned the image I saved it as a Tiff file because it provided the best image quality.
After prepping and cleaning up the image in photoshop, I saved it as both a JPG and a PSD.
While using Illustrator the file automatically saves as a Ai file so then we must export stand turn it into a PSD and a JPG.
Advice on Vector Creation:
I think that the most important part of this project was to be patient and do everything step by step.
