Let's Rock?


Original version

When you looked at this symbol, did you think of a rock concert? That's what I was going for. I'm rather proud of this one. I really like the purple outline and the three colored lights at the top. I couldn't get the microphone to look quite right and I'm not sure if I like the placement of the music notes. But overall I like my little symbol. I'm definitely getting better with the pen tool.



Edited versions

After the feedback I received on this symbol, I went back and revised it to better reflect the concept I wanted to portray. The left symbol is more geared toward a Hannah Montana or Taylor Swift concert because of the sparkly, pink guitar and the lighter, brigter colors of the lights and music notes. The version on the right is the one I tried to give the more hard rock feel. The colored lights are not as bright and the brushed border gives it a more grunge feel.

A Fight Between Fish

This is my final product of attempting to create my own digital woodcut. The inspiration behind this was the astrological sign Pisces. The sign is often characterized by two fish pulling in opposite directions of each other, symbolizing the conflicting motivations and desires that those under this sign deal with. Whether or not you agree with the philosophy of astrology, I thought the idea of two parts of a whole pulling against each other for something completely different was interesting to say the least. But beyond that, I thought we all might be able to understand the message of an inner struggle.

Let's forget that this shows that I have zero drawing ability, kay? >>
