He wanted the photo to look like a hand-colorized vintage photo, in keeping with the vintage clothing and golfing gear.
I desaturated the image, blurred the background and some of the foreground to match how vintage lenses worked, and digitally painted areas to match similar photos from the era he wanted.")

These are Koi fish, although species specifics were kept to a stylistic minimum. I aimed for movement and flow, keeping the design minimalistic. The client received a variety of color schemes to test for the final shoe design.")

I chose an abstract wave, inspired by Polynesian art, with bold attention-grabbing colors. It added visual movement to the top of the shoe, and accentuated the flow shown in the sole cut outs.")

The client wanted a tree with cut-away earth showing the roots below, symbolizing path choices.")

I painted over about 50% of the photo with solid colors (reducing the gradients across areas) and ran a PSD filter over the remainder to soften it. The text was given a flowing layout to mimic movement in the wind, and the font was drawn over with a cloud-like wispy brush.")

AI was used to get the lighting reference for the dog standing in grass with a tutu on. No AI was used in the actual illustration work. The brick wall is mismatched and uneven as the reference wall was *very* old and had repaired areas, plus areas where bricks had collapsed and chipped badly.")

I used the state outline as a starting point, drawing an abstract landscape representing Nevada, the landscapes and players in the sustainability field (urban, forestry, water sources, farming, mountains and tourism).")

The map had to be reasonably accurate yet still have a hint of style reflecting the period the book is set in (1500s). Buildings representing several towns the protagonist visited needed to be included, and they had to be correct for c.1500.
Note: this was an initial run-through of the map. A later iteration had details added to Ireland, and some design tweaks.")

Certain buildings needed to stand out and be larger than life, with important streets and facilities labelled.
The map is fully vector and can be scaled to any size (poster, tri-fold brochure, etc).")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/125/125633/attachment_125633740 "Portrait for a company website. The client wanted a sketched style with pencil lines and some shading visible.
Initially done on paper with pencil, then scanned. Background removed in Photoshop (standard comic book artist method with an alpha layer), more shading added on another layer.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/137/137214/attachment_137214520 "Client wanted a logo that represented Canada at a glance, and \"pain\". The star-like shape visually gives an impression of stabbing pain radiating out from a point.")
