AdventOfProgress Day 08
Today is a creative one. I like working with Jippity on logos, so I already made 2 logos in the past with this process.
For a logo, I mostly have a clear vision of how it should look in the end. So I can write clear prompts for what I need and tell Jippity what it needs to do.
For example, for my Pelletyze app, I had the idea of merging wood pellets with a bar chart. The logo in my head was so simple that Jippity and I could do it directly in SVG. And after some back and forth, the current logo on the app was born, and I’m happy whenever I see it.
For the new one, I tried the same approach, but the logo was too complex to make it directly. So I told Jippity what I imagined, and we worked on a basic image first. I also did some research and provided 2 examples of how some Specific parts of the logo should look like. Providing images of something done or self-drawn seems to help it a lot. We ended up with an image of the logo I wanted.
Now Jippity needed to transform this bitmap into a vector, which, I thought, would be a piece of cake for it. 🤷 After some back-and-forth, I told it that we are stuck and the results it produced are garbage. We needed a new approach. Then it told me that it is incapable of tracing the bitmap into a vector. Fine for me. So I loaded the bitmap into Inkscape, made some adjustments, and there it was: the SVG version of my logo I'd imagined.
I’m not the best with graphic tools anymore. Some years ago I was, with GIMP on Linux, but these times are over. And I don’t have the patience anymore for this kind of work. 😅
With the result, I’m happy, and I’m excited to integrate it into all the places. When this is done, I will present an image.
