Tshirt Series

In my Illustration class the last project that we did was a series of 3 tshirts. The each had to relate to each other, and I chose to do that by basing my illustrations on a bible verse. The verse I chose was, Psalms 91:4, He will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. We had to do a Form, type, and pattern based tshirt. Enjoy!

Editorial Illustration

In my Illustration class, aka Art 210, we did an editorial illustration project. This had a very quick turnaround, 2 weeks. We had to choose an article to read and create an illustration for. I chose the article about pulping of the rainforests in Asia, http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/02/08/activism-at-its-best-greenpeaces-push-to-stop-the-pulping-of-rain-forests/.

I did have a little trouble getting this how I wanted it, because my first idea did not work :P But here it is!

And here is the illustration within the article.

First Project Overviews

As the first week of school has ended, I have started on my projects for my design classes already! WHOO! For both my 225 class and 210 (Digital page design and Illustration) we are doing animal projects. For my illustration class we are making line, gestalt and closed shape illustrations of an animal of our choosing. I chose to do the Adelie Penguin. When I think of a penguin I think of the iconic cartoon black and white penguin, which mostly resembles the Adelie Penguin. Emperor Penguins have yellow on them, therefore I dont think of them as the most iconic penguin. You can see below some of my process work for that project. :)

The project for 225 (I have yet to start), will be info graphics about an animal of our choosing. Which, of course I will also be using the Adelie Penguin :) Penguins are my favorite animal, and I am happy I can include them in my school work. Updates will be put up once I start the project :) Thanks for reading!
