Bellus Covers
BFA Project
BFA Project
The following are a series of covers I designed and illustrated for my BFA Project my last year in college. I wanted to do something more than the standard design student does, as I always considered myself more of an illustrator than most.
The idea comes from a marriage of two things I remember most from my youth: My great-grandmother telling me stories and fables from the old world and ancient religions, and the pin-up calendar girls that populated my great-grandfather's workshop. I wanted to create something that would combine these two things and pay homage to these most influential of people.
The design of the magazine's logo, the illustrations of the girls, and the layout are all done by me. The poses are influenced greatly by Gil Elvgrin, one of the kings on pin-up.
