Raccoon Postcard

       For this project, I had to follow a tutorial to create a raccoon. It was a very descriptive tutorial, and even told the RGB numbers for each color that you needed for the raccoon. It was easy to follow, except for some functions within Illustrator that we needed to use. The tutorial used an older version of Illustrator, while we had a newer version, where some of the buttons changed places within the program. Other than that, doing the tutorial was really fun, and allowed you to have some creativity while doing it, even while following the instructions.

       When we had to create the postcard, I figured I would do a bachelor's party, because I had put a suit on my raccoon to meet the something you did yourself requirement. I figured I should have a black background, with white text saying, "you're invited, Bachelor's party." I also decided to add circle-like objects, that looked like spotlights in the back. I also added a mustache to the raccoon, to fit more into the bachelor theme.

       The final project had the raccoon I designed using the tutorial. I added a suit to the raccoon, and a mustache. Following the tutorial for designing the berries, I added berries, and made it look like the raccoon was holding them in his hand. I made some handwritten typography, and Mrs. Smith helped me scan it into the computer to add it to the postcard. I made it into white text and added it to the postcard, with the raccoon, and added the spotlights to the front of the postcard. On the back of the postcard, I used the provided template, and put six spotlights in a pattern, with more berries in between them.

      This project was also my first one posted on Behance. I feel like the Behance project turned out really good. I added each design I made with my raccoon to it, and added the finished postcard to it. I added a description to the beginning of the project, and put captions under each piece of the project. I also added my signature to the bottom of the project so it is like an official project made by me.
