MULT 122 Final – Holiday Card

Aug 7 2008

This is the Holiday Card I made for the final. The specifications were for a generic holiday card greeting and we’d been going to the beach just about every day of the week, so I felt inspired to share the joys of being in San Diego for the holidays :P This illustration took the longest out of the 4… I spent an entire day + a few more hours for touch ups and this was the first of the four that I finished. This card was pretty much my experimentation starting point for all the Illustrator tools, since I was starting from scratch, without a set of base files to go off of like in the HW assignments. :)

MULT 122 Final – Illustration

Aug 7 2008

This is the illustration that I did for that portion of the final… I wanted to create a wallpaper and I figured it’d be easier to create my own illustration rather than recreate a photograph. This illustration started with my experimenting with the rotate tool and feathering, which resulted in the sun (which I felt I needed to use). There are 2 different textures overlayed on top of the illustration itself. Without the textures, the whole image seemed very smooth, which didn’t look that bad, but I liked the added depth the textures gave it.

The birds, which bothered me the most, were created with a scatter brush I made (needed to use differing techniques on all my projects for this class).
