For our final project this semester, we had three weeks to complete three projects, spending one week on each.

Portraits.

The first project I decided to do was the portrait brief in which we had to create portraits based upon the photography of the @earthsworld instagram page. The whole point of this project was to trust our gut and get to making finals quickly so I only spent a small amount of time developing ideas before moving onto finals.

Cereal Box.

To create my cereal boxes, I began by collecting together image research using Pinterest. 

I then made a list of potential names for my own cereal, as I wanted to completely make my own rather than basing it off existing products. I then began sketching up quick thumbnails for some of the ideas I had. 

I then took the thumbnails I was happiest with and dealt with them on eat a time.

Magic Crispies.

To start my first cereal box, I took the thumbnail into Procreate and worked colours onto the sketch so I could figure out what works best.

I then began creating what I thought was my final at the time.

At this point, I thought that I was finished, but the box design still didn't feel right. Then during feedback, it was pointed out that it looked more like a book cover rather than a cereal box. I then went back and played with the scale of the design elements, and reconsidered my logo slightly so it stood out more.

Then after some further feedback, I added a little bit more cereal into the bowl and adjusted some final details.

As I was happy with my process for my first cereal box, I also went through the same steps for my second and third one.

ABC Book.

For my final chunk of these quick projects, I decided to take on creating pages for an ABC book, basing my alphabet on breeds of cats. I first decided on the cat breeds that I wanted to use for A, B and C and then began my Pinterest research.

I then collected together some reference images of the cat breeds I wanted to use.

Thumbnails.

As I had really gotten into a rhythm at this point of my process and how I develop my ideas best, I used the same process for all of my pages for this project. I began, with thumbnails, then worked on top of them to decide on a colour scheme, and then finally created the finished art work.
