Revised Red Barn II.




After having my mom tell me that the concept for the barn door was funny and she thought it was funny even though she's old, (her words not mine) I decided to use my concept because I think it was the strongest one and was an entirely different concept than I had seen from other people. This has been a tricky assignment. Lots of revising. I spent another 2 hours coming up with these layouts.

Revised Red Barn.



This is the second concept I came up for Red Barn. I don't know how I feel about it. Probably going to scratch it. I worked 2 hours revising it.

Final Society of Illustrators.


This is my final S of I mailer. I really like how this turned out. I think it looks professional and clean. It was pretty time consuming and difficult to get all the type laid out on the back side but I think I had ample room to do so while still incorporating some interesting details.
Time revising: 3 hours

Sound Illustration.

These are my first sketches of my sound illustration. We were told to come up with a visual representation of what a sound would look like. I came up with these:



Everyone thought that the squeaky floor was a good idea. I like the alarm clock too but I thought this one would be the most entertaining to make.

Society of Illustrators



This is the revised version of the Society of Illustrators. I think it is coming along nicely. Just some tweaking needs to be done.
Time spent:
2 hour brainstorming/researching
5 hours executing
3 hours revising


Final Guinness Book of World Records Illustration.


This is my final dog illustration. I really like how it turned out. The final poster is due friday. I spent a total of 5 hours on this one.

The text with the illustration so far looks like this:

Practice Airbrush Fruit.

These are my practice airbrush fruits. There cherry was attempt one and the orange was attempt two. I like the cherry much more. I just figured out how to use the frisket so hopefully when it comes time to do my final hello kitty airbrush it will turn out much better than the orange.

Marker Comps

These are my marker comps for the cheesy illustration for the airbrush.

This is my marker comp for the Missouri postcard. I'm thinking gouache.

RED BARN.

My pamphlet, newspaper advertisement, and banner. I wanted to use something catchy and funny. My personal favorite is the zipper one. I think it really applies to the intended audience: college students. I don't know if I could use this concept for all of them because I don't think old people or parents would really enjoy it as much...


This is the first rev of Society of Illustrators. Rusty told me to use the runner one. I also wanted to do a kind of tribute to Bernie Fuchs because he just died and he was one of the most important illustrators of our time. So I thought it would be appropriate to use his illustrations.
