After class we had some critics from the instructor about Active Planet Kids illustrations for Gorge. I in particular was asked to improve my backgrounds so they reflect a better perspective. The other one need it to reflect a more iconic place in India were the Dalai Lama is being welcome. I decided to add some more detail to my first background were is suppose to represent the inside of the temple where the Dalai Lama prays. I made some changes to the mats where the people pray with him so they play a better perspective on the scene. I also add some more contrast to the design texture added to the throne so the one is the background doesn’t mix with it. I added some wood texture to the floor because is the material is build the temple, well at lest the floor. For the second background I had at first a plane mountain background. To give more Indian feeling to that region I’m trying to illustrate, I research some images from the region and I found out that building big temple like houses on the edge of the mountain is a common practice in there. I decided to illustrate the same practice they do by adding temple like structures to my mouthing I previously design.
Bellow are the samples of the revise background designs for Gorge:

We have continued working on our Active Planet Kids project, and we have been splitting up the work between each other. This week, I was in charge of creating the elements for Dalai Lama. I created a vector of different things associated with Dalai Lama and Buddhism.

We finally hear back from professor Perchuck with all the new information to complete the rest of the posters for her speaker lectures series. I have finished the second poster for her completely, she already saw the preview it just need it the room number at the library. We suggested her to include the CI disability statement on the bottom of the design to create awareness about this services the school provide and also to fill the negative space on the bottom, a win win if we could say that. I currently working on the 3rd poster, it should be ready before next class.

Below is a image of the finalize poster number 2:

We are now done with our logos designs for the GraftGroup online stores (Biking, Working Out, and Hobbies). Same, one of the owners of these stores, have approved our logo designs. We are now waiting for their final decisions between the options we gave them for each website. Since our last post the designs of these logos have gone through some changes. The first image is from my last post, which was the second revision. I then did two more revisions, with the fourth one being the final one.

After creating sketches for Driffills graduation and spirit shirts, we had a critique and chose the designs that were the best fit for the school. We took those sketches and created vector graphics based on the sketches. We have also created a brochure and banner for the school as well.

After sending out logo sketches for the Channel Eye-Lands Pre-Optometry club, we got approval for the sketches. They decided to go with sketch #3, which I created Three slightly different variations. One with an empty center, and two with veins(one of which has a hidden dolphin).

A total of three backgrounds were finished today. The backgrounds were related it to Abraham Lincoln, for the bubble head provided by Gorge’s children book. The fist one is a design similar to Abraham Lincoln Memorial, it is not exact as the real one but it gives a sense to it. The second one is a illustration of the place Abraham Lincoln was born, a wooden small house, I try to show some texture on the design to show the wood in the house. The third one, is a landscape showing Fort Abraham Lincoln, I chose this image to develop because the shape of the fort is original and not common anymore, at the same time it will show some history behind him and the kids would be carious to learn more of this unusual building. I posted my design for review from my teammates and I got really good comments, no adjustments to be made for now in these backgrounds for Abraham Lincoln.
