Illustrator Patterns

Here are some patterns I made earlier in the year for a brief, I found out about it quite late so it turned out quite rushed and not all the patterns are seamless. It's definitely something I need to improve on for next year.

Illustrations 14/10/2012

For my illustration class we had to illustrate a book on a topic we chose ourselves. My favorite band right now that I'm listening to non stop is The Killers so I chose to my book revolve around them. For each spread there was an illustration of one of their songs. I looked at the lyrics and tried to create ~*imagery~ from that. Although it was a bit hard sometimes because some of the lyrics are a bit vague.

Imaging Poster

Crappy poster I made that actually got a high mark (I don't know why?) The aim of the brief was to find a design-related quote and choose from a list of designers that were on the list they supplied us.

Interactive pdf

For multimedia we had to make an interactive pdf based on a topic of our choice and to include 3 wikipedia articles  based under that topic. I chose to do music festivals.  It was a pretty long brief (went on for around 6 weeks) and much time was spent procrastinating.  If I were to re-do this again I think I would re-think the concept behind it as it's not the strongest bit.

Finding content like images was pretty hard because we needed CC licensed images.

Update

I haven't posted on here for a long time, I have been busy with homework (currently at RMIT studying Graphic design) so I've forgotten to post here. Here's some of the stuff we've been doing:

This is my Positive Posters 2012 entry which is also a class brief we have to hand in.

We also had to generate a ice cream packaging character. I named my ice cream product 'Strawberry Fields' and created a cutesy girl character to go along with my packaging.  This isn't the finished product, I think I'm going to change the product logo because it doesn't work well with the rest of the design.
