Isometric Drawings in Illustrator
In this video I will share an experiment I have been exploring in Adobe Illustrator trying to make isometric illustrations using the 3-D “extrude and bevel” effect.
Animated Daily Logo Challenge
About one year ago I tried my hand at the Daily Logo Challenge. My approach (which you can read about here!) was to create 3d renderings from my sketches. After I started building the first few designs I realized that, if given the time, I could also animate the designs in a fun and whimsical…
