Vernissage
At first, I wasn’t to confident in myself with this project. But with a little push of encouragement and determination, I created something super charming in so little time. The idea of my concept is a Capybara passing down the torch. Very bizzare I know but hear me out. Capybaras have sort of turned into our Micromedia program’s mascot over the years. Like our inside joke for the program. So I wanted to pay homage to that. We are the last students in Micromedia, now that Multimedia is the new and improved version of our program. We aren’t many students, about 20 or so in our section. Us being the last remaining capybara’s passing down the torch to all the new capybara’s coming into the new program in the forseable future. It is indeed their turn to continue our legacy as Multimedia students.

Final Illustration Design
With my capybara passing down the torch idea in mind, I had to make it work despite how silly it was! I couldn’t keep my mind off it. So I got to work! I always do big illustrations but this time I wanted to cut back on the illustration and focus more on the typography of how my poster design would look like. But I love drawing so much I had to do something with it. So I made a ballance between type and illustration. I really wanted the text “VERNISSAGE” to look like flames, so I went and looked for fonts that would fit but there really wasn’t anything for me. So I drew up all the letters in “VERNISSAGE” in the style of flames. But I couldn’t just have it say Vernissage in flames and call it a day. So I drew up a little capybara holding up a yellow torch. By drawing the capybara with the torch in hand, I wanted to make the text “VERNISSAGE” form an actual flame silhouette so it looks like the fire is from the torch itself. And with that, the final design of my concept was ready. With that finalized, I can create the rest of the required elements for my Badge, pin/button, invitation card, website mockup, as well as a 3D model figure.
