dragon series
Role: Design Lead and Art Direction
Collaborator: Sean Christopher - Professor at Cal Poly Pomona
Objective: To use animal familiar as a vehicle to illustrate self-identity. Consequently, to use the same animal familiar to illustrate one of the seven capital vices and seven capital virtues as part of the identity
Materials: Selected gold dragon as the animal familiar as it is my Chinese zodiac animal. Chose “gluttony” (middle illustration above) for capital vice and “patience” (right illustration above) for capital virtue that I identify with
Outcome: Successfully portrayed self-identity and culture using non-literal means
Tools used: Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop
PROCESS
The gold color was used for the dragon because of my birth year. The other colors were selected as they complement the gold color of the dragon.
