Assignment 8: Bonne Homme-age

Here is my version of a Paul Frank poster.

This is an actual Paul Frank design.

Assignment 7: Visual Onomatopoeia

Here is my visual onomatopoeia I created. I am so sick of typing that word. When I was first starting this assignment I wasn't really sure what to do. I kind of just typed "sketchy" in as a filler word because it was the first word that came to mind, and then I guess I just went with it. It's kind of a double entendre and I used both meanings in the piece because I wanted to show the real meaning and then the slang meaning of it. I tried to merge them as seamlessly as possible and I think it went ok, I like the hooded guy that is scribbled in and mad shoutout to Scott who showed me that feature in Illustrator. Overall, I like this project and I think it is my favourite thing I've done in this class so far.

Text Assignment

I had a lot of fun doing this assignment. I am excited to be working more with colour now in this class because it gives you so much more options. I picked this font because I thought it would be fun to kind of make a satire of, and poke fun at, girly, cutesy fonts. While I still did that, I kind of also went in another direction by making it very romantic-ish. The creator said that he made it for valentine's day so people could use it in their cards to each other so I decided to make it portray a certain "puppy love" feel, if you will. I also used a custom candy heart generator to help give a Valentine's Day effect. I also used french because "cheri" is a french word and I worked it in there.
