Movie Poster

Sadly, My jpg of my final movie poster was too big to upload so I had to post a picture I took. I liked the revision of my poster more than my original idea, imagine that.

pattern project

Once I got the pattern swatch printed on fabric I decided to make a cute little bag. I enjoyed deciding  what to make exactly and in addition it was cool making the pattern.

In addition to using the fabric printed with my own design WHICH WAS AWESOME!
I found the matching color lining.
Totally awesome :)

Movie Poster Ideas

For my movie poster I wanted to create a film noir styled project.

I wanted to go for a type of thriller and here are some of my favorite posters I have seen  

Pattern Swatch

Our Next assignment was to create a pattern swatch that could be used as a fill. I wanted to do something whimsical and I loved the little mushroom guys I used in my 1st project. 

We also got a chance to use Spoonflower and get our swatch printed on a yard of fabric! 

This was very exciting and here is my swatch! 

Print THIS!

Hello all! 
Okay after a little more lab time, this is my final. 

So far

I had my character finished Tuesday and printed but my shadow for my flower came out too light. I also added another flower in the corner but my prof. suggested adding a shadow. I needed to add a few minor details but this is what I have so far. 

Such a sad little guy

I like his little mushroom friends.

Crazy Petals

I have been trying different tools to create some petals for my flower character. So far things have looked kind of strange. Although it is the look I am going for I don't like the way some of them look. My favorites so far have been the ones I created using the pathfinder unite tool.

Sketches

I have made some doodles just to get down my ideas for my character out. I am happy with the range of emotions. I think they are kind of cute and scary at the same time.

Character Research

In class we have to create a character using illustrator. I have always loved flowers and I wanted to create a flower character. I was inspired by Murakami's Flowers.

I also really liked the flowers in Alice in Wonderland and found them inspiring

I'm not sure what I'm going to name my character yet and I think I'm going to create a less happy little flower.

Artist A Day

Browsing through the Artist A Day website I was drawn to the piercing eyes in these illustrations by Bec Winnel. The eyes looked incredibly life-like and seemed as though they had dimension. These porcelain faces have subtle expressions at first glance but with further examination their eyes hold deep and puzzling emotions. At first I thought they looked kind of lost but once I really studied them, these women looked serene and confident. I believe what pulled me to this artist is the fact I am a fashion design student. I am constantly trying to achieve certain facial expressions in my fashion illustrations and this artist gave me a source of inspiration.
