Rihanna

After looking at what students have done previously for this project, I decided to choose Rihanna because I think she is a talented artist, and beautiful. She has many features that I wanted to highlight in my Illustrator project, for example her cheekbones. I am also not good with faces, so I wanted to work on my weaknesses and challenge myself. After many hours and learning new techniques along the way, I think my image turned out pretty well! For my lack of experience, I am thoroughly pleased with the way Rihanna came out. She is obviously not identical to the original photo, but I added my own artistic approach to the image to make it my own.

Super Bird

Logo

This is my logo for Styliner decorative garbage bags. At first I was creating sketches that resembled a garbage bag, but later I decided that I wanted my logo to be simple and elegant. I went this route because decorative garabage bags are directed towards a higher class. I chose to make it a circular shape, because it sort of resembles a bag, and I created a thicker outline to symbolize a "liner" within the circle. I chose the colors because they are fun and fresh, demonstrating the twist to the class garbage bag. 

Umbrella

I was inspired by the recent rainy days when making this calligram. Within the umbrella is a repeated quote about rain. I tried to change the colors within the umbrella to create shadows and dimension. I am happy with the way it turned out, and it was a fun way to practice the tools!
