Ciao Evgeniya,
I completely enjoyed your class and had a lot of fun making out my illustration.
Below a little description of my project.

I started working on this "illustration" I made during a workshop of Gyotaku, a technique used by japanese fishermen while selling by the market in order to illustrate the type of fish available on a certain day for sale, (our current discount commercial!). So I decided to work on it.
Below the final result of the workshop, literally a squid smashed on a piece of paper :D

I tweaked settings in order to try out several possible outputs that would have emphasize the graphic look of the illustration (below the results).

I loved them all but thought that some would have worked better than others for different purposes so I made some trials about possible results. For example, a pattern could have worked perfectly for a graphic poster as well as for a wallpaper (I'll consider it while decorating my next living room ;)) or textiles and interior decorations.

In the end I decided to use all the graphics as fictional cover books. Several colours with the same graphic can convey very different meaning so I gave to each color combination a different theme with a specific cover. You can see them below.

I had so much fun in this class and I really learned how to deal with a new technique, thank you.
I will look forward to receive your comment!

Edit after comments:
I just tested with a new illustration according with your previous comments. This one looks definitely great and suggest and emphasize more the origin of such illustration. Thank you!
