Illustration class – Final project – Alice in Wonderland book cover

Final project is supposed to be the most challenging and most involved project of the semester, and it really was. For several reasons. In the beginning – because I wanted it to be special.  I didn't just want a scene from the book to be the cover, I wanted an idea, something original, a different spin, a different point of view. So I was looking for that idea for a while. And later on it was challenging because it was simply huge (30x20") and therefore time consuming, and also because I had some technical difficulties while working on it.

Story of one dress.

Making my own dresses to go to friends' weddings became sort of a tradition for me. Mainly because I hate shopping and I am way too picky to find anything that I like.  And, of course, it's a chance for a creative project. But I never felt like writing about any of them. This last dress I made though, was pretty special, so I thought I'd tell the world (the little world that surrounds me) about it.

Illustration class - Invisible Cities

This project was based on a book by Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities. Entire book consists of 50 or so short descriptions of different imaginary cities. Some are pretty abstract and bizarre, but most are more or less imaginable. We were supposed to choose one and illustrate it.
