Design in a Day: Graphic Design Utah

From Pencil to Illustrator

This is a little out of my style, but this wasn't originally my idea.

About a week ago my friend Mauricio Pablo posted a picture of one of his drawings on fb, we talked and he made a sketch so I could make it digital.

So here it is, I made some changes to the original sketch based on my abilities, and what i thought it was best for the design of the sketch. by the way this made me remember why I always try to keep it simple, it is a pain to be drawing every little detail, specially because if you know me you know I am not good at drawing, and it takes me double the time t

o come up with stuff like that, but I was really happy with the overall result, what I like the most are the cracks on the heart.

I posted a picture of the progress, It started with Mauricio's sketch, when to Illustrator, and finished details in Photoshop.

Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo was a Mexican painter, and to be honest I don't know a lot about her, I have seen many of her paintings and self portraits, and I know she is an icon when it comes to Mexican art.

This is the first one of the Munequito series that has eyes, a mouth, and the body shape that all the new ones will have, it took me a long time to finish this one, I was really happy with the result.

Heroes Among Us

As you all know I work with a non-profit called Latinos in Action, well their annual conference is coming up in March which I am very exited about.

I was asked to come up with kind of a teaser poster/image, the name of this years conference is "Heroes Among Us", when I say heroes what comes to my mind are SUPER heroes, so I thought why not make it as a Comic theme, I created the logo and an image hopefully students, teachers, and the LIA staff like my idea.

Polecia de Yekotitlan

Going back to creating characters with shapes, and after almost a week of not coming up with anything new, I give you POLECIA.

Its suppose to be Policia, but back home people who are stereotypical from a lower class or considered not educated use pronounce the word like this.

This guy is a clingy cop from Yekotitlan the name of a town I invented.

Yeko Studios (Typography)

I've been really lazy, the last couple weeks, holidays, work, portfolio, family and all that cool stuff, but I am back.

Yeko Studios is what I would want to call my business when I get to that point, i saw something like this somewhere but I don't remember where, and I thought well that looks easy and cool, so i went at it, i wish i would have picked a different font cos this one is kinda thin, but oh well i think it looks good enough.

I finished this at Barnes and Noble while waiting for a client, thought it wouldn't take more than two hours to complete this but i was wrong

This was by far the longest design yet, I wanted to do something with text that looked cool, and tried a few different things until I came up with this, It was done in Photoshop and letter by letter, I created an action and played it in every letter, there were little changes to make to each letter but nothing major.

Evil Huevo

Today's design was very special, because it was inspired by my son Ale, he drew it on a piece of paper, and we both traced it on illustrator.

He was very exited about it, everything started super cute, and lets do a cute huevo (egg) then I dont know if it was the fact that he is not over halloween yet, but he wanted sharp teeth and a crack on the egg, he even wanted a sword but we ran out of time maybe I can put one on later, when it was done he goes "PAPI THAT LOOKS EVIL" so thats where the Evil Hu

evo comes from, I had alot of fun doing this with him, he keeps talking about being a designer and wanting to make cartoons like his dad, happiness.

I also included a picture of the before and after, Ale loved it!

Day two of Design in a Day, i was thinking about making a JellyFish, but SOMEONE Im not gonna say names (Adriana) Recommended that I illustrated my Facebook status, I was thinking about doing some characters to illustrate it but that would have taken me way more than a day, so i just decided to use typography and had fun with it, i hope everyone likes it, at some point im going to upload the PSD in case anyone wants to use this file

oh BTW my Facebook status was...

"Dance like the photo isn’t being tagged, love like you’ve never been unfriended, and status update like nobody is liking."

Here Comes the Sun.

This is the first (i hope) of many designs I will be doing to keep up my skills.

I decided to pick this tutorial to improve my illustrator skills i also loved the colors used for the sun, they are bright and very eye catching, and it looks very simple but nice, there are a few things I think I could change but this was good for now. I hope Ya'll like it.

I found the tutorial in some website, I wanted to give credit to the author but i couldn't find it, oh well.
