To create my yearbook spread, I started the same way I start any creative process; By drawing out all my ideas in my sketchbook. I focused on illustrating myself as if I were a character in an illustrated children\u2019s book. It was the most simple, fun, and effective way to deliver my persona onto the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once satisfied, I proceeded by tracing over my drawings in procreate and laying out my design. I decided to go for a classic aesthetic, in which I utilized warm tones to set an approachable, calm, and comforting palette. I wanted even the colors to give a glimpse into who I am. They also give off a tea-stained antique effect that I am quite fond of.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Cat- My lovely cat back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Necklace- I’d be surprised if I was caught not wearing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bird- My adoration for the winged creatures and how I have some of their traits, such as hoarding small shiny items and the way I favour sitting in a perched manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mug- I am an avid tea drinker, although apple cider season is around the corner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my spread, I used a mix of digital and traditional mediums. I added a rough sketch of some buildings from my sketchbook for interest, an authentic view of my artwork and a contrast between the clean look of the digital rendering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find myself fascinated by intricacy, and I wanted to incorporate that feel into this piece, even with the simplistic design. I wanted my final piece to work together as a whole yet have many parts that each invoked their own individuality. I designed in hopes that even the typography would hold enough interest to captivate the viewer for a few seconds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For this project, I\u2019d estimate it took me about 4-5 hours total with planning and execution. I\u2019d give myself a 8.5\/10, taking off a bit for how I could have arranged my writing to be easier for the eye to read \/ less cluttered design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
