In this week’s free Deke’s Techniques episode, Deke turns the logo he created in his latest full-length course—-Creating and Adapting a Logo—-into a three-color job by assigning spot colors in Photoshop.

While the RGB version may look great in backlit settings (like the web), for print, there’s nothing like assigning specific ink recipes to get consistent reproduction of your logo

If you’re a member of lynda.com, Deke’s got an exclusive follow-up movie in which he creates some interaction between those same three colors to create a more colorful and textured effect.

If you’re not a member, and you’d like to check out the exclusive movie as well as the entire Creating and Adapting a Logo course (not to mention the entire lynda.com library), you can sign up for a free 10-day trial at lynda.com/deke.

Blast off, my dekeStronauts.
