Hi All,
A few questions about a logo project I'm working on: My client wants an image of a hot air balloon, made of stone, in his logo. He wants the stone to appear like a stone wall, i.e. many small stones put together to make the wall. I know this is ridiculously complicated for a logo, but I want to have a go at it and see if it works - if not, I'll encourage him to simplify.
So, what I've managed to do so far is to place an image of a stone wall and use the Live Trace feature to convert it to vectors. I then dragged the image to the Swatches palette to create a new swatch, after which I'll fill the various part of the balloon with the swatch.
My first question: Will this still be a vector image using this process?
My second question: Is there an easier way to accomplish this?
My third question: Does anyone know of a resource where I might find a free, simple vector image of stones or rocks?
Thanks in advance for any input provided. :)
