Model Perfection

Here is my illustration of a perfectionist for Interpretive class. It's heavily based on Leonardo Da Vinci's "Vitruvian Man." The idea is the symmetrical perfection of a male model. When models are in photos and on the catwalk, there's a perfectionist quality about them.

carbonmade

I have created a carbonmade portfolio recently. It's still in the early stages of development but I'm happy with the results so far so I thought I'd post about it.

Here is the link to my portfolio: http://garethadamson.carbonmade.com/

Synthetic Velvet (CD Cover) Revised

Previously I posted this CD cover, but it's been revised since the last time. I have also completed the inside, back, and spine so far. The project is still on-going and will also include a poster.

I will post the rest and the finished result later on. For now, here's the final CD cover for a taste of what the inspiration for the rest of the project will be.

Best Buds

Here is my most recent illustration. We were to illustrate a new subscription card for The New Yorker magazine using the Monocle Man symbol. I also included the butterfly in my design. It's designed to be kind-of humorous and charming.

We had to choose a section of the magazine to illustrate for, and of course I chose the humor section.

Synthetic Velvet (CD Cover)

This is my CD cover for Graphic Design class. I'm really enjoying design and positioning type and using strategic font families and such. As you can see I'm really into Helvetica right now, haha.

Hopefully I'll have some new illustrations to upload by the end of the week.
