Icon Design Tidy Art Triptych

The following book documents my projects as a design student at Flagler college. I am currently studying both graphic design and international business, hoping to one day reach a level of creative director or member of an editorial board and ultimately be traveling extensively for said job. These works are the first stepping stones in my career as far as developing my skills and testing out various styles of design. The following projects came with a challange and my own approach to solving it - as a more business minded person, these have been vital to hone in on my own creative style. In the future I hope to find my niche as a woman in both business and graphic design to prove the two worlds of art and mathematics together can

CH AL LENGE Create a minimalist triptych using three sentences to illustrate a story for the audience.

My unique sentences were: “ As I pulled in the thick rope connecting my boat to the dock, I noticed it was lighter than usual. As It came into focus instead of my boat being at the end of the rope it was a severed arm with an eccentric moth wing pattern tattooed on the forearm.

Not only was the arm severed, it was growing translucent fish scales.�

S OLU TION

Using mostly pen tool and some effects in Adobe Illustrator, I created a grim scene portraying the same imagery as the story.
