Concept Evaluation
"Intelligence is remembering what you are interested in."
Michael Mabry is not only a graphic designer but also an illustrator.
He has dedicated his career to creating visual images that challenge the mind and touch the heart.
One of his clients includes The Land of Nod, kid's bedding and furniture store.
In the end of his talk at AGIdeas, he actually showed us how he created his illustrations.
The process was:
He starts working on computer first to decide the composition, and then draws some sketches.
Then brings them into computer and divide them into hundreds of layers.
To create a nice warm texture, he used paints, sand paper, sticky tapes, and many more things.
The outcomes appear like these:

Although he uses computer largely to create these images, the outcomes have very nice hand-drawn-like feeling. The images are very fun and lots of animals and insects appear, which kids definitely love. There are many tiny things hidden in his illustrations, so I found that makes people feel like taking a closer look at them. I remember I always felt happy to find tiny things behind the main characters on the story books when I was a kid.
I was very inspired with his works and I reconfirmed that I would love to be involved in these types of works in the future.
