Exploration is the key to developing the best ideas.
My digital illustrations are a collection of mock editorial, commercial, and concept based images I completed while earning my M.A. in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design.
Stop Bullying Illustration & Poster.
This illustration was designed as part of a “combat bullying” campaign for an organization within a school district. The goal was to design a poster that promoted a culture of kindness throughout the community and school.

Sketches.
My sketches explored design ideas that would illustrate the importance of kindness. Continual brainstorming helped to refine my ideas and develop an idea that was more appropriate for the intended audience.

Comps.
Narrowing down my sketches, I digitally rendered multiple tonal comps using Adobe Photoshop to generate an idea of the final visual outcome. Through this exploration I decided on a sketch to move forward with for the final poster.

Final.
The final illustration visually conveys the message in an eye-catching, colorful and positive light. Using Adobe Photoshop and a Wacom Intuos Pro, I digitally rendered the hands and elements. The final application of a unique textural overlay gives the finished illustration cohesiveness.
The type was added as part of the final printed posters that were displayed.

My final illustrations visually convey the triggers of social media on the perceptions of the female body in particular.
