Bird Icons

In this project I was challenged to make six designs that while different still followed a coherent theme. They all need to look like they fit together. I created these designs by using Adobe Illustrator.

These six icons were inspired by birds. They took me about two weeks to make. I went from sketching up pictures to opening Adobe Illustrator and creating the icons. This was my first big project using a Illustrator and the first time falling in love with the program.

Watch Project

In this project I was challenged to make six designs that while different still followed a coherent theme. They all need to look like they fit together. I created these designs by using Adobe Illustrator.

This project was probably the hardest that I had to do for my vector graphics class. I had to complete a direct realistic copy of a watch. This took me over 40 hours to complete.

Gig Poster

In this project I was challenged to make six designs that while different still followed a coherent theme. They all need to look like they fit together. I created these designs by using Adobe Illustrator.

I was given the challenge to create a gig poster for a fake band. I worked on creating a cohesive and interesting concept. I wanted to make a poster for a more grundy band. I chose colors that would cause the main character to be the focal point of the poster.

This is my sketches for this project. I was playing around with a few different ideas. I knew I wanted to create a more grundgy poster.

This is my first draft on adobe Illustrator. I was trying a few things with design but didn’t really love the way I was going with it.

I kept trying to change things but I realized that I didn’t like how the poster was laid out. So I scrapped this layout and created a new one.

I was a lot happier with this layout of my project. Having the character face forward in the poster made the angling of everything else easier.

I worked more on the vial in front of my witch. I was still trying to figure out if I wanted something coming out of the vial or if I wanted to leave the vial alone.

I added green smoke coming out of the vial and a skeleton in the background. This made the design a little more busy than I wanted it. I shrunk the witch down and that fixed the spacing. My design didn’t feel super cohesive to me.

I created a more cohesive design by having the smock leaving the vial create the skeleton. I also added some typography. 

This is the final product. I enjoyed creating this project. I think I would change the typography now that I have more experience.

Bug Icons

In this project I was challenged to make six designs that while different still followed a coherent theme. They all need to look like they fit together. I created these designs by using Adobe Illustrator.

These Icons were made for my Vector Graphics class. I was challenged to make 12 cohesive Icons. I chose to create bugs with big cute eyes. Well the designs are Similar in some ways I tried to make the bugs each have there own character to them.

Sticker Project

In this project I was challenged to make six designs that while different still followed a coherent theme. They all need to look like they fit together. I created these designs by using Adobe Illustrator.

My goal was to create a three designs that i felt were strong enough to become stickers. I replicated the look of stained glass.
