Cool, I can't wait to see what you come up with! That JDEX (is that right?) logo is pretty out there. That must have taken a pretty significant chunk of time to create.
It's so cool that you younger guys have access to this software at such a young age. I was in a graphics program in high school and we did almost EVERYTHING by hand. We had 5 Macs for 20+ kids
And they were primitive. I think we were learning Corel Draw? It would have been in 1994/5. I can't recall exactly. Either way, I hated whatever software we were using. I stumbled upon Illustrator about 4-5 years later and just started tinkering with it and was pretty impressed with it. I didn't have a clue what I was doing though, and had to pretty much teach myself, which means I didn't get to the point you're at until I was well into my 20's. The whole digital transition cut the time it takes to create logos and grpahics into a tiny fraction of what it did when it was all done with slide rules, Rapidograph pens, and rubylith overlay. What a pain in the ass that stuff was.
