back to the basics...

Illustration can be quite frustrating for me. It's been twelve weeks since the semester started and sometimes I wish Photoshop was as 'easy' as it appears...

Craftsmanship to talk about

I am always reminded of how strong my craftsmanship is. I don't want to sound like a big show-off, but I have to admit that when it comes to creating things with my hands, my ability can be impressive. I've always had high standards when it comes to my handmade work, and it certainly feels good to receive nice compliments from time to time.

Today, I was reminded of this project I did for my Package Design class last year. A 100% handmade box for a beautiful traditional Mexican dress that was handmade as well. We got it in one of our visits as we were getting ready to take off at the airport. Since the little girl has grown and cannot wear it anymore, it had been in the closet for quite a while. When I learned about the assignment to design a package for any type of clothing, I could not think of a better item!

As everything, I can't wait to take the time to improve it.
