Fictional Creature

Visual Thinking (year 1)

Delivered:

Graphic Art / Apparel

Skills:

Research / Photography / Adobe Creative Cloud: Illustrator, Photoshop, Bridge

Project Summary

Create graphic artwork of a fictional creature to feature as part of a new T-shirt range.

My Approach

I was given the Danakil Depression in Ethiopia as my environment. I investigated physiological adaptations used by organisms in similarly harsh terrain. We were encouraged to be inventive and playful with our ideas. I mimicked specific traits using what I had available to create similar textures.

Audience

Young children that like cartoons.
