Teapot Candles: From Grandma, With Love

"I'M FREE FROM EXAMS!"

All my hard work and studies finally paid off. It's December and colder days are coming!

My digital illustration class is finally over :( I really enjoy this class because I feel so productive during this past 3 months. My instructor, David Hohn has done a really great job in assigning projects, I LOVE THEM ALL!

This is my final project and I was suppose to design a candle box. My brand is Teapot Candles because I was obsessed with silhouettes of teapots during this past few weeks, not even sure why. I just thought teapots are cute. From the start of this project, I knew that I wanted to do something very authentic or "family style".

"Every Christmas, our grandma always visits us back home in Asia and brought home scented candles to burn in our homes. The word ‘Teapot’ is inspired by our lovely granny’s hobby, drinking Chinese tea from her favorite ceramic teapot. Every afternoon, she would drink her tea while enjoying the smell from the burning scented candle.

It has been a tradition since the grandchildren were young, and it was heart-warming for us to have such lovely granny. We would like to share this tradition with you. Most of the scents we sell are our grandma’s favorites. We hope that these candles will bring you closer with your loved ones just like it does for us."

Cooking Club Organization Logo

It's been quite a hectic week for me, especially all the things happening after midterm. More projects assigned, more time spent on Illustrator, and catching due dates. After the Jayesslee Poster, my instructor assigned another 2-week project. The objective is:
Create a logo for an organization. The team may be any athletic or activity based club but is must be a realistic and substantial category that has a possible national representation (ie: sailing, sewing, literature, jogging, biking, film groups, chess, craftmakers, arts union, etc). Focus on the imagery and execution, and keep the name and readability clear and simple.

I decided to focus on a cooking club focusing on Italian food called "Bon Appetit".

Week 3: Digital Illustration

This is a 2-week and 3-color project. We had to pick whoever band/singer we want to design the poster for. I picked Jayesslee because they're my favorite duet. They are korean twins named Janice and Sonia Lee, they are in their 20s.

I wish they'll come to Portland for real, the date and venue aren't real
