Vector Illustration

I really wanted to challenge myself with this vector illustration, so I chose to create my dog Zoey.  She is a brindle boxer so there are a variety of colors in her fur,  I really tried to capture all the different shades in order to make her look as accurate as possible.  I also spent a decent amount of time making the eyes look realistic.  Overall, I'm proud of the results and  enjoyed working on this assignment in illustrator.

Exquisite Corpse

To continue my theme of sweets, I decided to make my exquisite corpse a baker.  I chose the body builder frog with cooked turkey legs for this assignment because I loved how the simplicity of the head contrasts with the muscular body, and how the turkey legs make the character extra unique.  I placed Brittany, as we named her in class, in front of a bakery store front.  I made the windows of the bakery transparent, so you can see inside, which I think makes the scene more interesting.

Overall, I'm happy with the scene I created and the way my exquisite corpse came out.

Sweet Stop Logo

I created a logo for a fictional company called Sweet Stop.  The company would sell fresh bakery cupcakes to people on the go at cupcake atms.  I chose to make the logo colorful and organic to give the sense that although the cupcakes are packaged they are indeed freshly made.  To go along with my swirly, free-flowing design I chose a cursive font to display the company name.

I chose to make a logo for a cupcake company because baking is a hobby of mine.  If graphic design doesn't work out for me I might just open up a bakery.  Perhaps I could call it Sweet Stop.

Caligramme

For my caligramme I chose to create an iconic two scoop ice cream cone.  My goal for the assignment was to make something fun and playful and incorporate color into my design.  I'm a huge sweet lover so I thought ice cream would be a great way to achieve those goals as well as personalize the caligramme.
