For this image I had to get a photo from a copyright free app and try to draw on it to see what I could make. Eventually I decided to turn the lady into an elf. Then my teacher said we needed to add lines, a key, something to show time, shapes, and something yellow. And when I finished this ended up being the final project.
Illustrator PSA
For this image we needed to make a PSA to inform problems that are going on right now. And I thought about how it is not just California who is suffering, but other states, and cultures too. I put in my culture because from what I heard from my mom, TJ and places in Mexico have a lot of poverty, so I made this poster to inform that other places are suffering too.
Dear Future
This piece was made in order to inform about ocean pollution. The inspiration was that in my science class we learned a lot about global warming affecting out oceans, but then there's other problems that affect the ocean like pollution. So I dedicated this poster based on another problem we've had before.
Sunglasses (Pen Tool)
For this piece we needed to trace sunglasses with the pen tool and make art out of it. The glasses design was based on my mom's glasses from RayBan. I've always seen those glasses around so I decided to use the design for this piece. This piece was made with Adobe Illustrator, I used the gradient tool to make the lens, and added a glare affect on the lens with a brush.
How to Project
This piece was inspired from a group called Ally Action which helped students stand up for themselves and others. Since we are a small group that isn't recognized much I decided to show what I learned from that group into here. Ally Action will always be apart of me, so I made the poster to not forget the lessons they taught me, and hopefully help others too.
Magazine Cover
In this piece we needed to make a magazine cover. What inspired me was that I've been seeing a lot of 80's trends coming back, like neon makeup, bell bottoms, hair. And a lot of people don't mention this so I based the magazine of how people used to make the magazines back in the 80's. My other inspiration was that I love the 80's, a time where everyone was happier, more social, and fashion was rising.
Mockup
This mockup came with the magazine cover assignment, and the reason I included this was because I like how well it turned out, and looking at my design as an actual cover made me happy because I imagined myself being recognized for my art. I also do see myself using mockups more in my career. Because mockups are used to show how the final product will look like, this assignment was a way to help me figure out how to do it.
Magazine Article
For this assignment we needed to make a magazine article for my graphic design class. The reason I chose to do Keanu Reeves was because my sister is a huge fan of him due to his John Wick movies, so I wanted to make something that would represent her. I believe this piece is a huge success because if I were to look at this in an exhibition I would really think that this was a real magazine. This piece was made in Adobe Indesign and my color scheme was cool colors.
Company Logo
For this project we had to make a logo for a company. So I used Illustrator to make a rival for Amazon. I named it Swifti as in saying that it is way faster than Amazon and the arrows emphasize the message.
