Diploma of Commercial Arts

Class progress made

October 21, 2011 By Paul Yeatman

After two weeks of fluffing around I decided to use an old cartoon rabbit as my 50’s expo cartoon mascot. Now all I need to do is give him a James Dean look.

Still pondering what to do for the pet and owner pic. Maybe something like the Doris Day pic where she has all the coloured poodles.

In the illustrator class where we concentrate on the gradient mesh tool, I have begun to reproduce a rear derailleur. I figure I will create all the shapes first then worry about meshes, gradients and fills after that.
