Finally here’s some graphic design work instead of just random sketches!

In my graphic design class, we had to design a type-logo sort of thing (my prof didn’t exactly call it a logo) out of the words “geometric jazz,” and then we had to make a poster design for it. I have another design I’ve made too, which I’ll post eventually.

The next part of this project is designing a 3D cube with the design as well. I have a sketch of one done but idk if it'll look good yet.

The painting vs the reference

Rittenhouse Square has a really pretty fountain, and when my friends and I were walking through to look at the art sale, we saw these little sparrows bathing in the water. It was the purest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

I definitely didn’t get the proportions or angle right, but I was also listening to an audiobook of Pride and Prejudice for class so my attention was split hehe

I don’t remember the brand of sketchbook this was but it’s on 8x5” watercolor paper and it’s pretty good paper for how cheap the sketchbook was. I think I used only my Koi watercolor set too and a little gouache to get the white highlights and make the brown more opaque

I designed posters and some merch/related items for a fake museum exhibit at the Academy of Natural Sciences! I also redesigned the logo for extra credit (and think it’s much cooler than the original).

The museum used to have a butterfly exhibit, so I felt that focusing on them again for a new exhibit would be okay despite the major focus being on dinosaurs. There’s a lovely stained glass mural piece in the museum that inspired the idea of Stained Glass Butterflies.

I settled on designing tickets, gift shop bags, cafe cups, and a tote bag based around this exhibit. I might add a few more ideas to the line, depending on the time and motivation I have. I’m definitely printing off some sticker sheets of the butterflies I made, but I also might paint some of the designs on a shirt if I can find a good piece while thrifting.

I entered this project into LOCALLY SOURCED, a competition in Philadelphia and the surrounding states! I won’t know till between October 18th and November 17th if I made it in. It’d be cool to see my work in a magazine with other incredibly talented college designers.

I hope you guys like this set of products I made!
