caricature

Caricature i like this art form,
but it needs a lot of practice.
For me it is still a hit and run.
That is why i am always captivated
but those artist that can do it so well
and easily, it just amazing.

Anyway this is just something i did.
Unfortunately cannot post the
subject picture for comparing due to
personal privacy blah blah ....

Mmmh ...still need more practice sigh.

trucks and such

I think i mention before somewhere that
i like cartoon style of illustration, like those
stickers found in the car shops?
Very stylize,exaggerated portion and solid colors
type?
Anyway this is the one that i made , and i think
it is pretty close to the real deal :)
I sketch up the form and shape in pencils,
then ink it follow by cleaning up and colouring
in illusrator software.

A web tea shop logo design

Company Logo design,
Bread and butter of a freelancer i think,
or at least for me!

Most of the client know exactly
what they want ,from colours to
fonts.
If not they will show examples
of what they like.

After a few question skillfully
place ,usually the design
parameter will be realized.

Below is a name card and logo
i did much earlier.
The client like the turquoise and brown
mix and the script fonts style.

Since the logo is the also the type face,
i created a custom font for this
logo and as for the colours it is as the
client directed.

Change of address post card

Mmmh ..this is a change of address post card.
Not so common in singapore but i understand
it is common in japan . Not sure where else
have this practice.

The design parameter for this card is to be simple
like out of a comic style illustration.
And feel is to be light and cheerful.

And because it is printed by a print shop instead of
a traditional printing factory,there is no minimum quantity
per colour way. So taking of this advantage,
there is in total four colour variation.

postcard on the right

Customize Birthday wrapper design

Following my earlier post on birthday party logo,
another great idea is customizes wrappers.

Simple use of colours and creative usage of font can
create nice wrapper design.

Below are some wrappers i did earlier.

Of course this in not limit to wrappers only,
can be use for other decorative craft as well.
