This project was pretty cool but pretty hard at the same time. I had never done anything with illustrator before so I didn't understand the interface. It was interesting to see what you could do with just circles. If there was anything I would change about this project is probably just the basic shapes of stuff like the mustache and hair. I changed the hat just because I can.
I picked the product I did because I wanted to make a slightly obscure movie reference. To design my piece, I thought; "How do I get my product to sell in the market? Go way over the top." So the background color is a blue-ish grunge texture, with an explosion revealing the title on top of the epic back to the future shoes. If that doesn't catch a consumer's attention, I don't know what does. The most successful part of this project is how everything blends together. If I could change anything, I would make the title smaller so that it can be read easier.
Technology is being stupid so the picture isn't on here yet. Boy I can't wait for the robot overlords to take over.
This is my cheese castle. This is the fortress of the milkman. I came up with this idea because I wanted to make a really ridiculous structure. I decided to make a dairy castle with a milk lake next to it. To make it look realistic, I had to add a lot of shadows. The most notable being the shadow of the milk splash. Speaking of the milk splash, the cookie splashing into the milk was just added to show that it is milk. I played around with just making the water look like milk and it just looked like a white space. If I could change anything, I would add some more castle parts to the cheese, and probably add a bridge, but who knows. Maybe a castle with know way to reach the door is the best defense of them all.
This species is known as the Scorpicrocodillo. it has the body of an armadillo, the head of a crocodile, and the tail and pincers of a scorpion. I came up with this idea by thinking: "what if the crocodile was more mobile?" so i gave the crocodile a shell that it can roll around in. But then i thought it needed to be even more intimidating, so I gave it a scorpion tail and pincers.
my biggest problem for this project was getting the added pieces to look like they belong there. Fortunately, the armadillo has a distinct shell, so I used the shell texture and clone stamped pieces that I felt would have that shell texture, like the tail and the top of the head. If I could change something, it would have to be that realistically, the tail would need to be bigger in order to sting anything, but I think it still looks good at this size. Some of the problems i encountered during this project was that the pictures didn't line up all that well. it wasn't too hard to fix because i could just keep getting rid of pixels until it looked okay. Another problem I had was coming up with a decent idea. I decided to go with playing soccer with myself. If i could change anything about this picture, I would add one of me in the far background in that gap towards the left center. I would also add a goalie in the foreground with just his hand visible in order to better show that I am playing soccer, and to give the pictures more depth and intersection.
