Adobe Illustrator!

I FOCKING LOVE ILLUSTRATOR!!!!!!

Im having to use illustrator part of my university work...and I must say, probably the best design program ever created, i've done previous work on illustrator before, but nothing on a big scale (I used to...and still do small t-shirt designs in it)

but part of the university subjects is to create a fully vectored Self Portrait!

LOVE IT...

total freedom to create anything I want
there are like....no limits at all

its such a dream...

but with all this freedom...and the ultimate dream for designers
also comes the nightmare

"is this too cluttered"
"argh! I cant think of what to put there"
"do I need anything there"
"what should I do with that"
"oh god that looks awful"
"wait, thats stupid"
"FFS WHAT AM I DOING"
"dude...what should I put here"
"whats that doing there"
"WRONG COLOUR"

you get the picture...

anyway heres some of the work i've been doing on it...

This is one of the most recent designs that i've come up with, includes my personality (Proud), and some of my most favorite things

Flying Thing = God of Death (Ryuk) from Death Note
Ribbon = Taken from the 3rd book of the Twilight Saga (Eclipse -my favorite of the whole saga)
Forest Skyline = I love the outdoors :E

I am thinking this is a real competitor for the final piece that I actually hand in, but like ive said, with all the freedom you start asking youself questions...and one of the questions was - "Should I put something in the bottom right corner?"

so, I took that thought onboard and placed something of my interest in more than one way in the corner :D

As you can probably tell...

That in the bottom corner, is a woman...getting undressed - I can admit to liking that!

This is relevant because - The actual image of the woman, is taken from an album that I put in my top10 albums of all time (that are on my ipod) - which is "Cute Is What We Aim For - The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch"

and obviously...because I like woman...getting....naked... yeah

but having put this in the bottom corner, I thought the image as a whole looked a little crowded (DAMN YOU CREATIVE FREEDOM!)

and now, here I am...making a blog about the work i've done thus far....and ultimatly not having a clue which piece to present - the logical choice would be to show the lecturer both and get his opinion!
so thats probably what im gonna do :P

Blogger Over and Out!
