I am a newbie at Illustrator and designing. In an online class I am enrolled at, we were supposed to create a series of badges on a theme of our choice. I picked 'My favorite books' as the theme. This also happens to be my first ever project. Hope to get better as time progresses.
All Badges
Animal Farm by George Orwell
The last line of the book is the inspiration to this.
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
One of my all time favorites. I always used to imagine myself getting lost in this fantasy world. I picked the scar, Hedwig and the Wand because I felt these three items represented Harry in a succinct way.
Illusions - Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
I found this book at a very important period in my life and it has deeply influenced me. In this badge, I try to show a man walking through a wall representing one of the incidents from the book.
Kafka on The Shore by Haruki Murakami
A brilliant novel by an absolutely wonderful writer. Tried to represent key events and people from the book - raining fishes, black cat and Johnny Walker.
The Outsider by Albert Camus
This book introduced me to the Absurdism philosophy. With this badge, I try to portray the nonchalance of the protagonist as he sits reading and smoking right next and away from his recently expired mother's grave.
The Trial by Franz Kafka
When people say Kafkaesque, they usually refer to the idea introduced in this book. The protagonist has been charged with a crime and a trial is underway - but he is not informed of his crime, ever. The man walking into a dark room blindfolded is my representation of the unenviable position he finds himself in.
