Gaining Graphic Design Skills

So I recently remembered that I had acquired the new Adobe CS6, thanks to the licensing agreement UC Berkeley has with them (I GET IT FOR FREE!). One of my friends is trying to start up a business and has asked me to input some logo designs. "Of course,” I said and right away started to brain storm some ideas. I have only been using photoshop because that is one of the only programs I have learned but thought I would test out Illustrator. So I did what any normal 21st century person would do and Googled how to use Illustrator. I came across some handy tutorials and decided to take a whack at one of the designs.

Stayed up till 2 in the morning and this is what my final product:


Original Website’s Version vs. My Version:


So I decided that I wanted to create my own image, with no tutorial and just use the skills I had just learned doing the bunny. Although I did use some of the same techniques to make the bunny, I tried to create my own original design. I thought I did a pretty good job. Now I have some creative juices flowing and I am excited to explore this software. Here is the Elephant I create, what do you think?
