October Projects: COERLL and Spring 2026 Roster Poster

These past few weeks with the help of Shanda I worked on a book cover for COERLL, which involved making a text logo and map graphic. using mainly Illustrator for this project, I was able to figure out many more small and useful tips for my workflow, especially when it comes to working with vectors and customizing fonts.

-Spring 2026 Roster Poster-

At the same time, I have been working on the Spring 2026 Roster Poster, and have been experimenting with various styles for a main title graphic:

So far, I have chose to continue with concept #1, but I will also try and see how concept #2 could work out. This is also my first time using a Wacom tablet, so I am slowly learning many new things that you can do in photoshop which I hadn’t known previously. Furthermore, this project has also forced me to get back into my illustrative mindset, which I haven’t tapped into in years. (I stopped drawing in like middle school or earlier)
