Illustrator experimentation.

With the drawings I produced to create my screen prints for my taco & butternut squash soup recipes, I scanned them into Illustrator and edited colour into the images. 

 

I like how image trace strengthens the line of my drawing – it gives the images more of a graphical appearance. I think the line weight, and bold colours give the image a comic-like quality – which makes the image more fun and attractive. Again, I really like how the font has turned out after being digitally transformed, it reflects the comical/ fun side of the illustrations.

I think it’s interesting to experiment with the same image in different mediums – just too see what medium is stronger for the piece of work. For the context of my final zine, I felt the screen printed recipes were more attractive and complimented my zine more than these digitally edited illustrations.
