Farmer's Insurance Logo


This is the logo I created for Farmer's Insurance. The design is simple and clean, yet represents the wholesome values of the company. The logo is simpler and fresher than the old logo, yet maintains a sense of seriousness and elegance. Below the final logo are some other fonts and symbols I considered using.

Expression


This artwork, created in Adobe Illustrator represents me as a person. The shades of blue in the gradient represent how I am usually a relaxed person, but can sometimes be very energetic, or very deep and philosophical. The purple words, such as "creative", "compassionate", and "Texan" also define me in not only in the literal sense, but also in the way they are arranged. The things that people notice most about me or I associate my self are easier to see. For example, the word "artistic" describes me very well as I have been teaching myself stylistic-realism and photo-realism for about a year now and love to draw. However, not many people know this about me, so the word is in a deeper purple that is hard to see against the dark blue of the background. Many of the words are rotated ninety degrees to draw the I downward, toward my face and name Also, all of the words that define me best are far away from my picture, to express how what people see about me, and what's actually there, are separate.In addition, the negative space between the words and my face serve to draw attention to the most important part of the piece. Finally, my name is next to my face, illustrating and identifying the picture as a an extension of myself

Snowboarder

This is an image I created on Adobe Illastrator using this tutorial {http://layersmagazine.com/vector-effects-in-adobe-illustrator.html}. I couldn't find the exact font they used, so I used an alternate one. I also took some artistic  license with the background pattern and wavy lines

Lilies in a Pond



This is the scene I created using Adobe Illustrator and this source {http://vector.tutsplus.com/tutorials/illustration/beautiful-lily-pad/}.This most difficult part of this project was creating things with the pen tool and making gradients within the shapes created.

Quidditch Player


This is my cartoon man I made on Adobe Illustrator. He was originally supposed to be  a basket ball player, but Quidditch is cooler, so he's holding a quaffle.
