Fresh and Fruity: A Junior Illustration Project by Jeannie Vongfungfoo (2020)

I chose the T-Shirt option as my Illustrator Project. The title I have chosen for my Illustrator Project is ‘Fresh and Fruity’ as said on my T-Shirt. I chose this title or slogan because on my art, there is a flamingo in a box with fruit on the floor.

There is not a message to be given to my audience, but I want people to look at it and feel like they’re in a better mood because of the colors I used for my Illustrator Project. The background is a light purple and the letters are in rainbow, giving a light and happy vibe to it. When I eat fruit, I feel refreshed. I would like people to look at it and feel refreshed as if they just had some fruit.

I really valued being able to do whatever I wanted with a project of my own choice. It was so fun to be able to draw and think of ideas. I chose the T-Shirt option from the very beginning, but I was having trouble trying to think of ideas and how I would create those ideas with my limited abilities. My first two designs were based on the idea of body positivity and loving yourself, but there were either too many details that I couldn’t put on the design or it simply looked too easy and worn-down. The third design I came up with was on a whim - since I was getting annoyed at myself for not being able to stick to an idea and design. It was a simple smiley face drawn with fruit. Entering a new school year, Freestyle changed our English and Digital Media classes. I was separated from my best friend, so I was not able to talk through my ideas and receive criticism from her. I was completely lost on what to design. After school, I asked my best friend for help. She loved flamingos and I absolutely wanted fruit on my design, that was for certain. So, I combined the two and thus, my final design was created. It was of the flamingo in a box with fruit. Related website
