As part of the final year of my Illustration degree, I illustrated a vector portrait of every classmate on Illustrator.
The University of East London added these illustrations to the end-of-year magazine. Additionally, I offered these high-quality illustrations to my classmates so they could keep them and use them as they pleased.
Process
I asked my classmates to send me their profile photographs as references for the vector illustrations I was planning to do for the end-of-year magazine.
Once I illustrated them, I asked for their approval to use the finished illustrations for the magazine. These are the final illustrations:
These illustrations were then distributed in a nice layout to add some information and be nicely distributed on two pages.
I was happy with the final results, and my illustrations were used on many online platforms and printed materials.
Other illustrated portraits
I was asked to create vector illustrations of a family for an A3 personalised poster.
Conclusion
I enjoy working on vector illustrations because of the cartoonish style and the quality of the images. Also, people enjoy looking at their vector portraits, which is a rewarding result.
If you are interested in a vector portrait, feel free to contact me.
