Role

Graphic Design | Illustrator

This was an Illustrator based project to create a final composition that combines high contrast and silhouette and/or abstract. The assignment was to select an object, gather a brief study on it's history and qualities, then create several interesting pieces that are accurate to the object.

I chose the SLR camera. Aside from my passion for photography, I've always found cameras like this to be attractive and impressive. I was stoked to explore it graphically, there is plenty to offer from it.

Final Composition

Brief Camera Study and Reference Images

Hand drawn thumbnails - High Contrast

Hand drawn thumbnails - Silhouette and Abstract

High contrast composition progression. Moving left to right, left is the first drafts and right is the final. The comp become more realistic in details while maintaining a smooth graphic look.

Silhouette and Abstract composition progression. Moving left to right, left is the first drafts and the far right is the potential finalist. from here, these four comps had to pass the texture testing to find the two finalist.

Textures made by hand with various tools and objects with paint. Once dry, these pages were scanned and uploaded to illustrator for use.

Pantone Selection

Texture Testing was for the silhouette and abstract comps only. Per assignment requirements.

Color testing for high contrast comps. The film green color was a risky but bold choice. All of these colors represent the SLR Camera base and film. Two are "expected" colors and two are "unexpected" colors.
