here are some pics of what the final packaging looks like. boxes and boxes!

final project - chocolate packaging

so i've been working on packaging for chocolate bars from a fictional chocolatier called montgomery county chocolate company (or mocococo for short). here's the flats for final packaging.

feminism with a twist

i decided to push forward with a different take on feminism by choosing to do an illustration about transsexuals. in reference to the documentary trantasia i wanted to do an illustration that would serve as a spread in a magazine. this spread would be an exposé on how a lot of men (especially younger men) are opting to become women for skewed reasons (to be more objectified, to feel beautiful by being more overtly sexual/hyperfeminine).

to become a woman is to not just feel pretty, desirable, and objectified. going through a sex change should transcend anything superficial and it should be because one would be a psychologically-sound human being that could reach her goals to the fullest potential upon completing the transition. i wanted to have the magazine article have a fold out spread that further explains how men could transition to become women because they would ultimately have a more empowering platform.

here's what the illustration of the foldout would look like:

...and if there was to be a logotype for a fictional organization that would help transition post-op transsexuals, it would be probably be something like this:

EYEZZZ$$$!!!

i have one more coming. will post later...EYEZ!!!

murals

two takes on mural design. might redo them and add more elements to make the context of the pictures be more american.

The New Yorker (Francis Igot)

so i initially wanted my new yorker cover on the egyptian student to look like this:

...but that didn't work out because it sent an ambiguous message. is it for supporting reform/improvements in freedom of expression in egypt or it is against (militaristic subject matter).

so, i scaled down the stark military figures and just focused on egyptian rally goers wearing aliyaa's red flower to signify a protest supporting her bravery in challenging the limits of freedom of expression in egypt. it still seems ambiguous, but not as much as the first cover.

new yorker sketch - aliaa magda (francis igot)

for the new yorker assignment, i did a digital collage/sketch of the aliaa magda on top of a scene of an angry mob. i was going to go on the lines of this when i illustrate it, but this is what i have in mind for now.

indigenous voices (francis igot)

i wanted to make these travel posters that showed a little bit of the cultural practices of the cordillera (igorot) people of the philippines to kind of boost a curiosity in eco-tourism.

love (final) (francis igot)

here are the final scans of my love zine:

sardine packaging templates. when you display them side-by-side (in that order), the spine will form the composite of the logotype:

photoshoot is a'comin'.
