<br />
For this illustration I wanted it to represent myself in some way, so I decided to add my pug Bella into the mix. The pug illustration itself is not mine, but I reproduced it from scratch and added my own twist to it. I feel the glasses make the image as funny as it is and I'm sure anyone that catches a glimpse of it will get a good kick out of it.<br />
<br />
I started the illustration off by working on the background a bit, I wanted the background to have the same look as the main illustration so I made a solid green background while adding some blades of grass.<br />
<br />

<br />
I then added a layer by putting the base colour of the pug down from which i will work from.<br />
<br />

<br />
After laying down the base colour, I added the key features and other colours of the pug including the glasses I added to the illustration. <br />
<br />

<br />
I finished the pug illustration by adding the black outlines, wrinkles, fur, etc.<br />
<br />

<br />
To finish the illustration i added a blue sky with some clouds and a sun.<br />

<br />
For my third post I illustrated a concept for "whisper". I thought hard about what I wanted to illustrate for this concept, I decided to create a business card for a hair studio. I wanted an 80's style look for the card.<br />
<br />
<br />
I found references that I thought would fit best with the concept.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629458854/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.03.47 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8253/8629458854_76653153db.jpg" width="500" height="262" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.03.47 PM"></a><br />

<br />
After finding images that fit best, I illustrated from the images to create vectors I would use for the business card starting with the whisper image.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629459834/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.05.23 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8240/8629459834_ec9d3ae96c.jpg" width="500" height="265" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.05.23 PM"></a><br />
<br />
Then the listening vector.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629459568/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.04.17 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8250/8629459568_7c198c7c18.jpg" width="500" height="263" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.04.17 PM"></a><br />
<br />
I positioned the 2 vector images into the business card layout.<br />
<br />

<br />
Continuing to build the layout I added a black box to hold the business name.<br />
<br />

<br />
I created a font I felt would best represent the look of an 80's hair studio, then positioned it inside the black background.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8628353267/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.15.20 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8250/8628353267_75cc9f24f5.jpg" width="500" height="260" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 2.15.20 PM"></a><br />
<br />
Final information was added to the business card to finish the layout.<br />

<br />
For my second post I decided to do an illustration for "myth". In keeping with my childhood and seeing how this myth as been around since then I decided to do the myth about the effects of pop rocks and cola.<br />
<br />
I started by creating a black background for my pop rocks package.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8628363565/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.57.42 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.57.42 PM" height="262" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8239/8628363565_583c21f5d3.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I then started putting in the red elements of the package.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8628363143/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.57.50 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.57.50 PM" height="262" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8544/8628363143_7f6fd25d9d.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Some text and other elements added.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8628357731/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.58.02 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.58.02 PM" height="263" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8532/8628357731_d256b49698.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Starting of the branding logo added to the package.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629465112/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.58.24 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.58.24 PM" height="262" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8540/8629465112_063b737cd6.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
The finished illustration of the Pop Rocks package.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
The second part of the illustration involved creating a vector cola bottle, I decided to illustrate a glass cola bottle since the myth dates back to when glass cola bottles were used, also because the glass cola bottle is more recognized.<br />
<br />
<br />
First step was to create the background colour in which I would work from to create depth and contrast.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8628358615/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.10 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.10 PM" height="262" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8255/8628358615_02d16741ba.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Black was added to represent the cola and shadows in the image.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629465766/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.26 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.26 PM" height="265" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8533/8629465766_3bc0c8ac3f.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
Red was added for the low lights of the cola.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629465958/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.37 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.37 PM" height="262" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8523/8629465958_56dce8e866.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
White was added to highlight the bottle and give it dimension.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629466156/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.47 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 3.56.47 PM" height="261" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8545/8629466156_4dacdea7fe.jpg" width="500" /></a><br />
<br />
I created a simple silhouette of a person> <br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8629466928/" title="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 4.04.03 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8118/8629466928_34ee55a6b6.jpg" width="500" height="262" alt="Screen Shot 2013-04-07 at 4.04.03 PM"></a><br />
<br />
Then created a blast vector on his stomach and added a sad face.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm converting a design I created for a movie poster into a book cover design. The springboard for this design project is the word "Ocean."<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1.</b><br />
<br />
I took my design idea into Adobe Illustrator, I started my process by making vector silhouettes of the men in the poster design. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8475614773/" title="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 11.12.34 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 11.12.34 PM" height="432" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8246/8475614773_4d1c005d3e.jpg" width="309" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Step 2.</b><br />
<br />
After completing the silhouettes, I needed to add highlights and lowlights to the image so it didn't look flat.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8475614769/" title="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 11.12.50 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 11.12.50 PM" height="433" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8371/8475614769_8a5a74379a.jpg" width="306" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Step 3.</b><br />
<br />
I felt i needed to add colour into the image, I decided to make the "11" stand out by colouring it a bright red.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8476704968/" title="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 11.13.02 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 11.13.02 PM" height="429" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8085/8476704968_4261142590.jpg" width="306" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Step 4.</b><br />
<br />
When looking for a book to put my illustration on, I wanted the old leather bound look, I just felt it would add character to the design.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8475615865/" title="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 10.48.11 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 10.48.11 PM" height="432" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8248/8475615865_2043ba6a55.jpg" width="337" /></a><br />
<br />
<b>Step 5.</b><br />
<br />
Once I found the book cover I loved and wanted to use I layered my design on the front cover of the book using different overlay techniques.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/creativemindsgd/8475614819/" title="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 10.47.27 PM by creative minds design, on Flickr"><img alt="Screen Shot 2013-01-25 at 10.47.27 PM" height="436" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8108/8475614819_fa83472452.jpg" width="337" /></a><br />
