My sister has set up an online petite online last year on facebook and she asked me to design a banner for the shop. This is quite challenging because she is looking for a cute style like shown below and I need to meet my customers need. The characters are mostly likely asian who is the shop's target audience and the style of the clothes are girly and cute. This banner attracts me because of its use of colours which is creamy and pastel and there is no harsh out line on the characters so it is very comfortable to look at.
This is like a job so I do not want to mess it up. I planned very carefully by studying the sample she gave me and divided the character into layers like hair, eyes and clothes.
The finished products are these. Obviously the characters are not as good as the sample which makes me wonder how they have done it. I am not happy with two characters because their clothes do not look fashionable therefore I look at some trendy clothes online and search for patterns that can be put onto the clothes.
I am so proud it is used on her facebook page!
This is last year halloween special banner. I reuse the body of the characters and redesign clothes for them.
I would not say I am absolutely loving this job but I am happy that I had a chance to help someone's career and present my art online. There are a lot of things need to be concerned when making an illustration for commercial use like the copy right, the size and the content etc that I have never noticed before. After all this is an useful experience and it is good to practice illustration skill using photoshop out of the animation class.
