Full Process
My task was to design an illustration symbolizing my self-interests. First, there was compiling a list of different ideas and likes of mine, plus research into styles of avatars. Then, came the thumbnail sketches for the initial visualization of the design. In pencil and marker, different sketches were tested out for different contrast. And on Adobe Illustrator, creating digital drafts of the avatar was next. Along the way, the color palette and illustrated details took some tweaking. The avatar includes me with a camera, as photography was one of the aspects of design that interested me. With the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, in the background, which represents my geeking out for science fiction. Lastly, the globe beside me is signifying my want to examine the world around me more closely. Through these subtly contrasting colors, my wants, likings, and interests are conveyed to those who would be curious about me or would like their own interests visually communicated.
A college project in “Icons/Symbols” class to make a representational illustration of oneself. Along with some of one’s own interests or hobbies.
