Illustrating with Humor: Creative Techniques for Vector Illustration

Illustrations with Humor

“This course is coming to an end, and I hope it was a fun process for you. The most important thing when we are creating illustrations with a good sense of humor is, well, to be in a good mood and to feel good doing them. Remember to always trust your ideas and your conclusions about the briefing: the process I taught here does not need to be followed to the letter and should not be rigid. Use this course as a guide to help you dig out the best ideas that already exist within you and that derive from your own repertoire. I'm sharing with you an example of how I'd like to see your project process: Briefing Write down the key words from the briefing and the project in a two-sided matrix with opposite meanings. Create relationships between them and scribble symbols next to the words.

Ideas Write down ideas that bring together concepts from both sides of the matrix, choosing the ones you like best. Make small sketches to test compositions and visual ideas. Clean up your sketch, look at references, and think about your line drawing approach. Finalize your vector illustration. The illustrations Make final adjustments to the set and create a presentation for the work. Once the illustrations are approved, prepare your files for digital viewing (RGB) and printing (CMYK) Once your project is ready, share it on the forum by clicking on "Create your project". I will give you feedback as soon as possible. Don't forget to check out and comment on other students' work: it's a great way to see how each student can interpret a brief in their own way! See you soon! ”
