2D Design Part Two

So I got my cereal box back from my teacher on Monday! So now I can show you my pictures!

Here it is from beginning (kind of) to end.

I drew the outlines on my cereal box and cut out some figures in cardstock.

 A few days later, I cut out a lot more stuff AND spray painted the box blue.

I wanted everything to have a black line around them. So I glued them on black paper. (look at the nose.... it's one of my favorites)

This banner is my second most favorite thing ever!

I am most proud of this right here. PandaCups. We had to invent a brand company thing and this is what I came up with.

This is what our living room looked like while I was doing this project (notice the kleenexes... I had a very bad cold)

This is almost everything glued on.

RANDOM! 

But I saw this on pinterest and decided to try it out.

Placed popcorn kernels in a brown paper bag (3 T is QUITE the amount). Fold the top a few times so it stays close. 

DO NOT STAPLE IT SHUT OR PAPER CLIP IT SHUT! METAL DOES NOT GO IN THE MICROWAVE!

So after that, you put the bag in the microwave for 3 minutes (ours actually does well with less) and you take it out when you hear the popping slow down. Then TA-DA! Popcorn! Add butter and salt and whatever funny flavors you want.

Yay popcorn!!

So back to my cereal box! 

This is everything officially glued on. The Nutrition Facts are pretty fun. I changed a lot of stuff.

(I thought I still had the picture on my computer... But I can't find it.)

The words under "Aggie A's" says 'with blueberry marshmallows.'

Here is the back of the box.

HELP LITTLE BLUE FIND HIS WAY TO OLD MAIN. 

(BUT DON'T RUN INTO DISTRACTIONS)

Notice the little icons on the maze :D

This is me letting modpodge dry. 

This is the end result and when I got it back from my teacher (Bytheway... I got on A)

Here is the side of it. Information for Utah State University.

The modpodge made the box not stand up anymore.... So I had to hold it up to get a picture.

Now! I am currently working on my FINAL for this class! And it is awesome! At first I was a little sad. I thought it was going to be stupid but when I really got into it... It became WAY fun!

Our final project is to design playing cards. We have to design a King, Queen, Jack, Ace, Joker and the back side of the card. We can create a number card for extra credit if we'd like.

At first I was going to do Lego Star Wars. Because I love Legos and I love Star Wars! But I was sitting in my Art History class when the thought popped in my mind. Egypt. I'm egyptian. It only makes sense.

So I sat there for the first few minutes thinking of what I can use for everything. My friend Mariana helped me think up my characters and some of my suits.

My sister, Melissa, asked me to put some pictures up but I thought you wouldn't be able to see anything because pencil never shows up in my pictures. But I decided to try and... IT WORKED!

So you can see the beginning of this project.

These cards will be 7.5 X 9.5 inches big. (it is suppose to be 7X10... but I cut them a little off. oh well.) But after drawing only two of them... I fell in love with this project. This will be way fun and awesome to show off in frames later.

Here is my King with the All Seeing Eye suit :D

This is my Queen with an Ankh suit.

 My Jack is a Jackal (makes sense... right?) with a... suit. I don't know what those are called but I know it means 'infinity'.

My Joker was hard for me to chose but my friend Mariana came up with a funny idea. My Joker is Ra. He is know as one of the most powerful egyptian gods. He is the SUN god. So Mariana thought it would be funny to make him the joker. She laughed a long time about the whole thing actually. 

That is all I have for now. I need to cut some more boards to draw on (which I will do tomorrow.) Then I can draw the rest. Now remember... I'm not done. This is just the beginning of my drawings. I still need to add the Letters (K, Q, J, A) and other such things. I'm also trying to switch up my king. He looks a little funny in the middle. I need to find a different way to do it.

But yes! These are pretty cool, if I must say myself. This is a way fun project and I just hope that I can finish them in time.
