Title for cereal

I started to design possible colours, texts and names for my title of my cereal brand. After looking at my designs, i decided i would take forward the name Chewy Louis's. I would have it in some sort of a rainbow coloured text, signifying the 'fruity hoops'. I then went into illustrator and started on my design.

I started off with writing my text using the text tool (below) Then scaling it to the desired size i wished to have it.



                                              

I then created the outlines of the text, by clicking on type > create outlines




I then drew out a rectange, with a a colour of red, then i dragged a duplicate by holding the alt button, to the bottom of my text.







I then did, whilst selecting both rectange, Object> Blend> Make, which gave me a line of rectangles covering my text.
 








                                                             Loads of rectangles covering my text


I then created a new shape setting its default Background and Outline colours to Null. Then i went Select> Same> Fill & Stroke


I then clicked on the rectangles and deleted
all the parts that surrounded my text, which i did not need.

Lastly, once i had all coloured rectangles within my text.



Project Development

Today i created my animated character that i will place on the front of my cereal box. I also may place it somewhere else, but a small version. I created my character by simply tracing the image, using a pen tablet. I used the pencil tool, to trace the image, and the image below shows you this. After creating the image, i literally filled in the different shapes/parts of the penguine with colour. You will see the pencil tool is highlighted.
