Here is a thank you card I made on Sunday for people who were kind enough to remember me on my birthday. Thanks, guys!
The typeface is Futura, set in different weights. Everything was done in Illustrator and printed on white, heavy paper and then rubber-cemented to white cardstock, which I folded in half to make a folded card.
This is a frog-type alien guy. There are some things in his life he wishes he didn’t have to do. They are:
5. Exterminating shneekphors. Although they eat his flowers and spread disease, he thinks they’re kind of cute.
4. Going without eating for more than 15 minutes.
3. Fangmorgering.
2. Taking his vitamins.
1. Flossing.
I sketched this out with pencil on paper, then traced outlines in Illustrator, then brought everything into Photoshop to color.
I have a decimal equivalents chart up by my computer. It’s been xeroxed about twenty times and I think I must have eaten some fries off of it or something because it’s definitely seen better days. Disheartened by the seeming dearth of (pretty) decimal equivalents charts on the internet, I decided to create my own. This is probably the first of many, because I see much room for improvement. This will be sufficient for now, though!
I hope I didn’t mess it up! And click the link below to download a hi-res version as a pdf, with crop marks to boot. It’s 4″ x 10″.
Apparently, Tuesdays also make me not want to make patterns. However, hexagons do make me want to make patterns.
Mondays make me not want to make patterns. But I did anyway.
Done in Illustrator, then colored in Illustrator and some in Photoshop.
Similar to Saturday, but blue.
White lines done in Illustrator; texture and color added in Photoshop.
I was making stained glass at work this week. By “making,” clearly, I mean “Photoshopping.” This inspired a little stained glass-y pattern on this fine Saturday.
Black lines done in Illustrator and then I colored it in Photoshop.
