To Distract, Noisy Studios. For this project, we had to design and illustration flyers for a fictional studio that we create. Along with the 4 flyers we had to choose a theme, and 4 words or sayings, that related to the theme. They had to be metaphors.This was for my Concept Illustration class. This was for my Concept Illustration class. I chose the theme of noise negatively affecting a dog character (Gus) that I created. The “noise” origin comes from my experience with anxiety. “To Distract” in particular, is how anxiety distracts me in real life. In this illustration, we see puppy Gus with car keys in his mouth, distracted by a car alarm going off.
