Happy Stickers: A Junior Illustration Project by Elli Lahdesmaki (2020)

For the Illustrator project, we were given a variety of options to choose from. Personally, I chose to create stickers. I saw the most artistic freedom with creating stickers, while also creating something physical that I can use for different purposes. I created a bunch of different stickers based on the things that I like. I love drawing, and two of my favorite things to draw are eyes and hands. So, I created stickers of hands and an eye sticker as well. I also created an elephant sticker, a sun, a flower, and a sticker for my little sister. I like how I had a lot of freedom with this project to illustrate anything I wanted to, while also learning a lot more about what I am able to do with Adobe Illustrator. There isn’t really a specific message that I am trying to spread through this project since there are so many different stickers, but I wanted to express my artistic freedom with this project and see what I am capable of creating on Illustrator.

I learned a lot through this project. When we were initially introduced to this project, I was scared because I didn’t know if I would be capable of making anything good on illustrator, as I was still unsure of my skills on Illustrator. I was also struggling deciding on which project option to create, but I’m glad I decided to go with the stickers. With the Illustrator practice that I had already gotten from my Design class, I was able to get used to Illustrator pretty quickly and be able to create what I wanted to. I actually found myself working on this outside of class because I enjoyed it so much. I got a lot more confident in my Illustrator skills after finishing this project and I was able to learn a lot more about what Illustrator offers. Related website
