For this final assignment, i was tasked to create an illustration of any kind that included 2 of three elements which are typography, illustration and photography. (I chose typography with illustration)

I began with an initial sketch of my idea.




















































1st I opened a new A4 artboard and added my sketch image into it. Then i traced the 1st shape which is the typography.

















Next i traced the cone. Then a added more cone-detail and color to my design. Note that i also resized it a little to make it bigger.

















Then i traced the little dog on the design.

















I gave it the same color style as the ice cream cone.

















To add more of a whimsical effect, i added falling ice cream i the background and copied and pasted it a few times to increase the numbers. Finally i added a background color. I used the gradient tool to give it a unique look as well as contrasting colors from the typography to make the words more obvious. Note that i also corrected a spelling mistake in the sketch.
