VANS HALLOWEEN EDITION (PROJ 6)

-
I have chosen one creative piece to explore which is the pattern from paper technique done in May, 22. The reason for choosing this is because it was exciting to create a pattern using folds and cuts of paper and aligning them right to create this continuous pattern after using Photoshop. So with this, I want to create a new pattern with this technique.

 Halloween is nearly upon us as the ghouls and witches are ready to scare any on their victims. This was lead to the theme and concept of creating a Halloween special edition pattern for Vans. They already have a customization section of their website to customize your own vans shoes on any shoe style. Already on the Vans website, they have released the Tim Burton edition for Halloween. My style is very different and simplistic and is created using the pattern on paper technique. 

 However, I want to further explore the customize section by creating a new designed box that is the shape and colour of the chosen shoe. My design is not just for me but to be added to Vans shoe collection for a limited time such as their other designs made in the past.  

 I chose to do a sun and moon for this pattern as I already drew them a while back and wanted to use them for a good purpose. They are drawn using fine liner and stippling technique for the shading. After putting them in photoshop, the drawings fitted really well with each other. As there was open spaces, I added black bats and positioned them around.

 I chose two simple colours, blue and purple, as these colours are unisex (in my opinion). The front of the shoes will have the sun and moon illustrated pattern with added bats in between. The bats were added to fill up the gaps. The side and back will have the bats dotted around so the main focus of the shoe is the design in the front. I tried adding the main design on the back but it did not show the pattern clearly. I could only get this particular mock up to show the designs on a shoe but it works well and a slip-on style is part of Vans. 

 I am pleased of the final outcome as I explored further with the pattern technique and it works well for Vans shoe designs.

ICE CREAM TUTORIAL - VISCOM

-
Image
We were all given links of tutorials that we could do. There were different ones like Star Wars and barber shop tools. I chose the ice cream tutorial to do as the patterns, colours and shapes weren't my usual illustrating style.  Following the steps were quite challenging as i didn't use the tools needed before and I was slow getting around illustrator with these new techniques. However, through the process, it kind of left you to remember the first two steps which I had to go back and remember. It was fun using new tools and techniques and creating something that is not my style but I can use for future works. What I learnt: - how to make a grid - creating my own shapes since my illustrator does not have the tools - creating highlight/shadow - using layers correctly Tutorial URL; https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-set-of-ice-cream-icons-in-adobe-illustrator--cms-24360 This is my final outcome using the Ice Cream Tutorial

ISOMETRIC SUSHI ICONS (PROJ 6)

Another task I explored further was the 10 things I cannot live without icons posted on May, 29. I used a different style of illustration called isometric by creating a grid and drawing 3D objects on Illustrator. I wanted to challenge myself with this as I did not enjoy the process last time.  I went back to how to create a grid on Illustrator which started me off. The icons I have created are of different types of sushi but not round and organic, they are geometric, straight lines. The reason behind this was to show the isometric feel, more in a geometric form. I have been inspired by many different isometric illustrations and most are geometric. The only elements that are organic are the sushi filling and the salmon.  I used basic and softer colours that I believe represents the different parts of a sushi roll. The colours positioned are identifiable for the viewer such as green is avocado, light pink is the salmon, red is fish row and black is seaweed. After adding...

PORTFOLIO - PROJ 3

During my 3rd and final year of becoming a graphic designer, I have slowly been identifying myself with a style of simplicity and a natural flare. I do not go with the crowd so I identify myself as an Indie who is someone who thinks independently and starts their own trend. I am inspired by nature which is shown through my designs and creative solutions. For project   of Visual Communication, I created a simple portfolio designs that expresses myself style with the idea of becoming a graphic designer after my studies. I created a box that held different aspects of my journey through the  years of studying and the theme of simplicity and a natural flare. In the box had 3 A5 series books called photography, freelance and specialisation. They were bound with a little sleeve called 'book series'. Each book had the same style and colours through out. Stickers and my CV was added inside too to show my illustration skills and a bit about myself for future jobs. The CV was done as a...
