Hi everyone!
Good news - I'm enrolled in Graphic Design Certificate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and I want to share with you my Projects, which I'm creating during my study.
Currently, I divided them into two groups: first one - projects, created in Photoshop, and second one - projects, created in Adobe Illustrator.
Let's begin from the first project I created during my Graphic Design Certificate. It will be my projects, created in Adobe Illustrator.
Part 1. Projects, created in Adobe Illustrator.
Project 1 - Abstract Series (Introduction to Graphic Design)
Task: Keeping in mind the principles of Design, to create the abstract design pieces.
Inspiration: "Monet and Chicago" exhibition in the Art Institute of Chicago, Harry Potter and stained glass windows of the St. Stephen's Cathedral (Vienna, Austria).
P.s.: Middle image is actually 2 rectangles with fancy placement.
Project 2 - Abstract Poster (Digital Design: Illustrator)
Task: Considering basic shapes, lines, and layers, to create an abstract or non-representational poster design.
Inspiration: Flight of fantasy.
Inspiration: Flight of fantasy.
I added grey background in order to reflect the idea of my work - black and white rectangles, different shapes and lines inside (look like they are having a party there).
Project 3 - Postcard (Digital Design: Illustrator)
Task: Create a postcard for a SAIC event.
Inspiration: Works of Keith Haring.
Project 4 - Illustration by Pen Tool (Digital Design: Illustrator)

Drawing this cutie was such fun.

Project 6 - Logo & Branding (Introduction to Graphic Design)

Inspiration: Music.
I wanted to create a logo for a radio station - something unusual and colorful.
Project 7 - Greeting Card (Digital Design: Illustrator)
Task: Create a greeting card.
Inspiration: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, pam pam pam paaaaaaam 🎶
Project 8 - Logo Cezve (Digital Design: Photoshop)
Task: To create a logo for the existing or fictitious company. Currently it's a pending task - I haven't got a final critique for this project yet.
Inspiration: I love coffee, especially made in old-fashioned style - brewed in cezve. So I decided to create a logo for the fictitious company Cezve, which is focused on selling coffee and coffee equipment, such as grinders and cezves.
