Creating a wordmark.
I created a word mark for my publication project, “NEEDLE”, a magazine that highlights women in the tattooing industry.
Round 1.
Sketching begins, different ways to convey a tattooing needle are explored. I wanted the design to be bold, sharp, and modern.

Round 2.
Sketches are moved into illustrator, many different versions with slight changes are created
