Quick Sketches
Inspired by a recent job posting, I practiced creating a newsletter mockup in Figma experimenting with the companies branding, utilizing stock images, modified Adobe Text to Vector illustrations, and generated text. The theme of the newsletter is to celebrate team members across all departments, inform each department of each other's accomplishments, and encourage employees to take advantage of benefits available to help reach their New Year's resolutions. Leaning on the concept of a penguin branded newsletter, I quick sketched a couple of versions of the page and initialy above a lofi sketch while I played with the silhouette of a penguin. Once I backed down to the basics I found a flow that I favored.
Experimenting with Text to Vector
Experimenting with Adobe's new text to vector, I was able to work through several prompts and modify the end result to produce an inspiring image. Text to Vector has potential but I find that it takes practice and trial and error to recieve workable illustrations but once generated can be modified to quickly create custom illustrations. Illustrations are intended to showcase a penguin reading by a cozy fire reading an inspirational book, celebrating the new year, and the final illustration is to illustrate a couple sharing a fire reading together on a long winters night.
