One for Environment and the other is for Innovation. I decided to produce two vector images, a tree and a light bulb. I have two colours to work with, P286 & P364. I'm ok with the light bulb but I can't draw a frigging tree! I have been tracing photographs of trees all day and they all look too detailed as the Innovation light bulb is very simple.
I think I'm struggling because I'm under pressure. Helpppp!!! I haven't even started designing the layouts yet and the clocks ticking! Anyone with any suggestions on drawing a nice simple two coloured tree?

Deciduous or coniferous?
I have that Neubauwelt book at work with lots of tree vectors (and leaves for that matter) but at home now I'm afraid. Maybe draw a few different tinted leaf shapes and create a scatter brush in illustrator to get a bit of volume and randomness. The trunk shouldn't be too difficult after you get the leaves right.
