Alien Abduction!




Children's Book Covers
Considering my "Pollilop" book company, these are my book covers for "Alien Allen". I had to have three final options for this week with slight differences in each and one completly different. I decided to use the whole children's book and run with the idea of including textures, foil, cloth, and wire. The other two are similar with differences in font and illustration. This was a three week long project that I'm so glad its done. It was a stressful process coming up with three ideas that satisfied both me and my teacher. I have to pitch my ideas to my class today so wish me luck!

Splattered Sarah



Self-Portrait
Adobe Illustrator

This took a lot longer than what it looks like. I think i've finally finished it with all the shadows and highlights. I was allowed to add my own background, so i splashed a few bright colors in. I actually really like this one and i like how it turned out.
Let me know what you think :)

(If you don't know what Illustrator is- Basically, i looked at a picture of myself and drew shapes of shadows and highlights with the pen tool on my computer. Then chose the right colors to appear like my face. I had about 10 different layers of skin tones and hair colors. )

We Will Rock You!


Lancaster Music Festival Logo
(Digital Drawing)
I had one heck of a time rendering this type but I finally fixed it with help from a friend. Adobe Illustrator and the pen tool drive me nuts, hence the simplicity of this design. Its definitely not one of my favorites since it was giving me such a hard time.




Queen Band Logo
(Typography)
Helvetica and Big Caslon are the two fonts I mashed together to create this logo. This is all drawn by hand and I still don't know if the sharpie fumes have effected me yet. I was told to keep it simple and try to reflect the band's style in the logo. I hope this represents Queen well, considering they're classy and bold all in one.
As Always, I love feedback. Let me know what everyones thinking.
(I have a critique in the morning!)

Leobra/Zepard

Giftwrap.
Horrible picture, i know. This is for my digital drawing class which is basically adobe illustrator. We had to design our own giftwrap and replicate it in illustrator. Not too interesting but it looks good considering this was my first time using illustrator and i think i did pretty well.

Lollipop. POP!

Children's Book Company Logo.
All hand drawn, I came up with this silly idea of a lollipop for my logo. For some reason Pollilop kept popping in my head every time i said lollipop. I believe someone used to say that when they were younger. But here I am using it as a company name. My teacher seemed to like the idea and so I ran with it. This is one of the three final pieces for that logo, this of course being my favorite. 
Gimme feedback people :)

ps. if we ever start writing children's books, we'll be set mom!
