For this project, I created multiple variations of my original digital artwork, which features a distorted circle with cutout elements. I used Adobe Illustrator to bring this concept to life, starting with an autumnal color scheme and then exploring various other palettes and effects.

The main subject of my original artwork is a distorted circle with unique cutout features. I was inspired to create this piece as an exploration of form and color in a digital medium, starting with an autumnal palette.

Creating these variations was an enlightening experience. It showed me how different effects and colors can dramatically alter the mood and appeal of the artwork. Offering diverse options allows me to reach a wider audience with varying tastes and preferences.

I plan to use these variations in my print-on-demand shop, envisioning them on products such as phone cases, tote bags, pillows, and wall art. The feedback from this class will be invaluable as I refine my designs and offerings.
