Deer Business Card/Postcard Designs.

Part of Illustration II's final- we were asked to do something self promotional, so I decided to create a business card and postcard design for myself since I had been meaning to do so anyway.
For some reason all I could think about was deer. Here's the finished versions of the two card designs I have been working on, and the setup of my information for the backside.

Cobra Starship Poster.

Finally got a little time to work on my Cobra Starship piece, since the final review is tomorrow and I wanted to have a finished product that had been edited from the original to show. So here they are, in all their glory- ended up doing two different versions with the main factor changed being the text placement. I think I prefer the first- more readable. Very pleased with the color scheme- it's way better then the one I had originally turned in.

Date used is an actual concert date- I recommend going to see them if you're interested in doing something in mid-May (if the tickets haven't sold out already..) and like alternative dance/punk pop.

Cobra Starship Poster Linework.

Linework for my band poster design assignment. I ended up unhappy in how it ended up being colored- it really downplayed the linework- so I will be re-doing it at a later date.
We were asked to reference (but not strictly copy, of course) any bizzare older photo we could find online. I discovered this photographic treasure.

....On a side note, the scales took me an eternity.

Sobe Energy Label.

For Illustration II we were asked to create a drink label in acrylics. Been a long time since I painted with them so it didn't exactly end up how I had planned... I'm not a fan of how the flames turned out.... Anyway, I ended up choosing Sobe's "Energy" drink, and went with a phoenix motif since they tend to go for a mythological-Aztec vibe with their bottles. We were allowed to tinker with it digitally, so I fooled around with hue/saturation. Not sure which I prefer- currently leaning towards the one in the middle. First image is the original, second and third are the digitally edited version. Finally made a decision. Going to place the Sobe name in there eventually, just need to decide where is the best area for it.
