The Last assignment....DUN DUN DUN

So here is the last assignment of my school career. This is an info-graphic about the history of the world, which has been very condensed because of the amount of information that there is about the history of the world. This is the last assignment I have to do for my finals for Professional Illustration at Algonquin College, and then Im out and into the workforce. Enjoy this little history lesson.

A Great Accomplishment

I think this is one of the biggest highlights to my year. Back In may I was featured as the cover artist for the Life section of the Ottawa Citizen. I was selected to do it for the Race Weekend issue of the Ottawa Citizen. It was a fun experience, hopefully I can do more things like it in the future.

Nerds, ive always been a fan of them, and secretly being one. but nerds have always been mighty, just look at revenge of the nerds movies. With this as my inspiration, i created the following:

Cartoon Assets

As we all watched cartoons as a kid on Saturday mornings when we were little, I never stopped watching.  In cartoons, the characters are just as important as the backgrounds and the assets in the show. Below are some cartoon assets that I designed. They were all done in Adobe illustrator, which is my preference to work in.
