My Idea is to create Simplified Graphic Icons to represent Safety Work Ware
and somehow incorporate the word Prepare. This design may be of some interest
to a contracting company in the future.

My Thumb Nails looked something like this…

The Process Begins!

I found some Reference Pictures via Google Image Search, aranged them
on my computer screen and took a screen shot. I proceeded to print, trace, scan,
and vectorize these "icons" and stylize them to suit my needs.

I then Prepared my text... and arranged my Composition to satisfy the eye...

I Decided to take this One Step Further to show, whom ever is interested, how

this design would look like if i were to prepare it for Screen Printing...

I know i said it was to be a Two Colour Design... But... I decided to, while i was 

colour separating this design , create an aditional layer for this screen print. Now 

my design can be printed with 2 or 3 colours!

And Here You Go
Final Concept!!

Thank You for Your interest!

Grounded

I am creating this graphic with the intention to apply it to a T-shirt.
Designed to illustrate the word Grounded, using a piece of illustration
artwork from the past as inspiration, striving towards creating an
interesting, fun, and intelligent, Four Colour Screen Printable product;
I created this Vector Artwork with great enthusiasm and am planning to
try this style again in the near future.


Here is my Inspiration Art Piece
Woman's Day magazine
Illustrated by Robert Jones
February 1961

I like how Robert Jones used the "colour white" to illustrate 

the subject madder, and reinforce the idea of importance.  

The Monochromatic Simplicity in this illustration is what 

really caught my eye.

Here are my thumbnails and illustration development scans

This is my Final Product.

I'm always open to improving my design, so if anyone has any 

productive suggestions please feel free to comments.

Thanks for reading!
