Final thoughts and evaluation

Im really pleased with how this project turned out and how my illustrations turned out most of all, I always wanted to learn to do vector art and for my second...or third attempt it turned out quite well. I have done it in my own style. This was risky and i found it really frustrating as im not all that familiar with vector art/illustrator, but it was worth the risk.
I would rather fail at trying to do something a little bit unique and something i would be proud of than just live trace photos off the internet with one click of the mouse. I would of liked to do more parts to the mural, but having spent alot of the last few months with head ache its not gone smoothly.
I wont talk about the work anymore as i have evaluated all the way through this blog and i would just be repeating myself.

I really like the way this leaflet turned out its my favorite part of my work for this project i think the illustration works great with the leaflet shape. This may cost a fortune in printing/cutting the leaflet but i think it would be worth it as it makes it alot more intresting than a square cut leaflet that most people just throw away or throw into a bag without reading. The shape and fun illustration will make more people take notice.
The half price bus fare is something that i stole from the train company, you can get something called a plus bus ticket when you buy a train ticket were you can travel from the station for next to nothing.

Final Menu








The final menu isnt much different from the draft but iv taken away the shitty grean and yellow swirly thing, added the new mini and done some subtle rearanging of some bits. I have gone with the same colour coded thing as YO! sushi did for the prices but i have kept it really simple to go with the illustrations (and so i didnt have to download and edit dozens and dozens of pictures of raw fish).

One more drawing (mini cooper)

I wanted to have another car to go with the bus and i thought what better than the classic mini cooper.

 This is the sketch.
 Some quicky colour tests using the boring fill tool for everything.
The final mini colourd using the same method as everything else so far. I went with red to fit in with the bus and the queens guard.

The Menu (idea)



This is the first menu idea, i have gone with the Yo shushi colour coded system but i have chosen to have them in a list insted of using pictures of the food. The front page will change the thing behind the logo was an idea but i dont like how it looks.
