SYMBOL PROJECT #2

In my GRAPHIC DESIGN IV class, we explored the use and methods of symbol making. For this assignment, we were asked to take a celebrity/famous person and use what made them famous in designs meant to capture that celebrity's fame. I chose Jim Lee (C.E.O. of Image Studios) who is a former penciler of comic books and now uses his knowledge of the business to operate the second largest comic book company on the market. I chose an illustrated solution to this piece, showing my own talents. Done in traditional comic book style, this freehand illustration is meant to show the explosive desire Jim possessed before setting out to start his own comic book company. Accompanied by the many logos that make up his business, his former employer is seen rusted and fallen in the foreground.
