Intro to GIC - Jazz Icons

Intro to GIC was one of my favorite classes. Here's one of our first projects, including process work, that resulted in a set of stamp designs.

We started out with a few sheets of paper with shapes printed on them, like circles, triangles, and squares. We had to draw around those shapes to create images we saw in every day life. From those pages, we decided on a theme for our final selection. Mine was Jazz, so the final shapes I chose dealt with musical instruments.

 

From there, we took our sketches to Illustrator and created two styles based on simple forms and classic Gestalt principles.
