Vector People

I just finished some work for Positive Promotions.

They had detailed sketches (created in-house) that they wanted me to finish off into vector graphics for an exercise booklet they were doing. They were good sketches. I think, with very little finishing, they could have just used the sketches in the final project. The problem was that the sketches were line drawings, which was not the style they wanted. So, that’s where I came in.

I used their sketches, took the color palette from their samples, and redrew them in the art style that they wanted. Not my usual work, but I think they came out well. And, more importantly, the client was happy.

Created using Adobe Illustrator.
