The Design

About Ryujin Primarna funkcija: Ilustracija

Besedilo knjige: Ryujin je ilustracija, navdihnjena z zmajevim božanstvom morja iz japonske mitologije. Umetnina je bila ustvarjena od začetka in sledi minimalističnemu pristopu z močnim poudarkom na podrobnostih. Ozadje prikazuje valove z japonskim navdihom, ki odražajo značaj lika. Koncept je bil najprej skiciran digitalno, nato so bili dodani vektorski obrisi, senčenje in barva, končne prilagoditve pa so dokončale podobo. Ilustracija je natisnjena na plakatih, voščilnicah in majicah. Cilj je bil prenesti moč lika skozi tradicionalno japonsko podobje v kombinaciji z osebnim slogom.
