Adobe Sticker Illustration + Photoshop Project

About the Project

The purpose of this project was to create a sticker deisgn based off of a real inanimate object we have of our choice then put photoshop it into a real space. I chose my ceramic, gold cat figurine that was on my desk and used my wooden pen holder as the space. I could have done an easier object, but I used the ceramic figurine because it was reflective like a mirror or glass which made it challenging. I wanted to see if I can accomplish a difficult task of making a sticker design with a glass-like object. By using Adobe Illustrator and picture reference, I made a geometric illustration of my figurine. The color blending was more minimal to add a cartoonish appealing style. I recreated the glass reflection effects by using more variety of colored shapes and lowering opacity. I even made the color of the gold cat more yellow since the real figurine was more greenish and dull. Because the figurine was reflective since it is ceramic, the illustration relfects my dorm room which was very challenging to keep minimal. This project was actually very time consuming as I constantly revised and refined my piece by using the pen tool. I made the colors warmer and brighter, more geometric shapes for a better blend, softer edges, and lowered opacity as a result from their advice for my final piece. I then took the sticker and photshopped it into the wooden shelf, it was fairly easy since I had experience doingt this in my high school classes.
