FOUR PAGES + cupcakes

OF SHIT TO DO. Well, probably really only two, since a bunch of these are going to be deleted or I haven't decided. But still...a lot of work to do before May.

Anyway, here's my initial writeup of all my projects:

Our logo:

Also, the beginnings of a cupcake brand book.

This title page will hopefully end up with some basic custom typography instead of just this boring (but easy) font.

The kind of style I'm feelin':

fish habitat workbook progress title what

Here's what's going on right now:

Still have to finish the demersal background, and then finish putting in content. And finish the cover. But I'm pretty confident about this...it's happening.

Potential habitat posters? I'm not sure if I'm still making a series, but I figured I'd keep my options open in case one of my other tools sucks...

Fish posters.

Some fish posters. I'm thinking about making another one with more of the habitats than just pelagic/tropical... Also maybe one with a thought-out color scheme so that purple isn't so random.

Ugh this one's rough.

Aaand my teacher's guide for the cards:

I suppose I'll add more more to that to make it less sterile, even though it's not meant for the kids. Maybe add some coral or something? Idk.

sweet paint ad + skate posters

A skate poster. I'm liking the color overlay, but it needs some more work before it's done, definitely. I have a couple other skate things in the works; hopefully I'll be super productive tomorrow and get those done and posted.

 

 

 

 

My new press kit workspace :| This time I'm using Pendleton's color palette, and just kind of going with it. If this one doesn't fly....well, whatever. Probably gonna end up clean lines (who saw that one coming?) and maybe some "street art" illustrations with thick outlines. Perhaps some lost type thrown in there for funsies.

I'm still not sure about the middle of that spray paint logo. I hate to backtrack this far, but I'll probably make a different one of those. Especially since I got the punctuation wrong :/

red fish, blue fish, kill me.

My Deep Sea background for the worksheet:

Pretty simple. That's probably going to be the easiest one, since you can't see much when it gets that deep. Really, if I were being completely accurate, I should just have put a black background, but I figured I should connect to the cards.

My in-progress Open Ocean background:

Not done yet. But still, pretty low-key. I'm gonna try to make that top right corner pretty impressive, but the rest is just gonna be those sun rays and the gradient.

These are the easy ones. The river and the coral reef....oh man. Those'll take a while.

EDIT: an update... the "finished" ocean pelagic and started demersal

This...is getting a little crazy.

Some more fish:

And, get ready for it: the first freshwater fish that actually looks half-decent:

So it turns out these take about 45 minutes each. No wonder this is such slow going.
