My first Idea was just to do a mirage of triangles making it look big to small, like what I did in this picture. For the words I used ha, so laughing because I wanted my drawing to represent madness. The name of the drawing is chaos since that is what I think of when looking at it. kind of Alice in wonderland like. It was created in a 8 by 10 inches 2023 and I used the different shaped smiles for my irregular shapes. While I did the faded lines for well the lines. the triangles were for the geometric shape and they were the hardest to draw because it took so long to make them, plus if I were to go back I would make them more accurate to each other. I didn't really have struggles since it's so simple and it's the style that I usually draw in. I love art with a busy background but has one thing that you look at first since it's so obvious, that's why I did in this so people would look in the center first. this piece of art is definitely abstract since i'm using a bunch of different objects to convey an emotion. Lastly it's my unique style since I used no reference just my imagination. 

This is the superior logo Idea for Starbucks. It gives off the idea of people of all ages jumping to get their coffee. Excited to get what they want, and what they want is Starbucks. So they should get a great logo to jump for joy with. The original design may have a meaning, but it’s not really obvious or fun. So I made one that people can connect with to draw more people in. The siren idea is okay, but not a lot of people understand and we need to modernize this company to stay in. Please think of my idea, you won’t regret it. 

Megan Daniels "Graphic Collage"

612x792, Illustrator, 2023

My first idea was just the eevee, but as you can see it really evolved (literally). I just got done with it really quickly and I apparently really like this kind of graphic design. I was just really experimenting and exploring with a bunch of different things. Though the original pictures are from things that I like. The squiggly lines on the bottom left is actually from my favorite show, I outlined all of the characters and put their names in. the middle gold one is a really important character and that's why I did it different from the other ones. The one on the right to it is from a really great book that my sister got for me years ago and ive read it to the point of memorization. Though I always thought it could have a better cover, I still don't have it 100% what I imagined but I still think it's pretty good. The one next to the book cover is pikachu, I did that one because I love pokemon and pikachu is just iconic. I put some of the sounds he makes, what type of pokemon he is, and I put his trainers name, Ash Ketchum on the ears. The one above pikachu is that main character I was talking about earlier, his name is Kore-sensei and he dies in the last episode so I thought it would look nice if I put it like some kind of memorial. The one next to Koro-sensei is just something that I did that I thought was pretty, I just put a bunch of stars and used the eraser tool, thought it kind of looked too plain so I added starfall to it like some kind of cover. Over the rainbow was just a strike of inspiration and I put it on, kind of like an album cover. The one above it is the first one I did, the eevee, that one was just me experimenting and thinking it would look cute since eevee is my favorite pokemon. The one next to that is my favorite, I'm gonna have to frame that, but it's Jack Black in the School of Rock movie. It says School of Rock in the guitar his character name is Dewy Fin so I put Dewy in the shirt, the hand both say rock. I don't remember what I put as his hair but I did put ACDC as a top part of his shirt, like the collar part. I did a fun phrase that is in the movie as his pants, it says "stick it to the man". I just all in all love it. The last one is the different eevee evolutions, I put their name on them and words that describe them, also what type of pokemon they are. At first I was gonna do the same that I did for pikachu and eevee, but thought it looked better if I didn't and just added some more design to their character. although, it wasn't all super easy, it got pretty hard to get the right proportions sometimes. So to overcome it I either just excepted that it was not gonna be perfect or try over again and again. If I'm being honest though I don't think that the book cover is fully done. I would have likes to add a lot more things but didn't have time or a quick way to do so. This work is most definitely abstract, and I honestly love that since I almost never get to do that and it's my favorite type of art. I think that it is unique because it's full of thing that I love, pokemon, old music, my favorite show a great book, and just something that I thought was pretty. 

Megan Daniels"Quote"

612,792 pt,Illustrator, 2023

 This is just my favorite quote from this character. I actually made one on paper years ago of this same quote with this guys full body. But a lot more inexperienced. The character is a teacher so I used a chalkboard style for the text, this guy is also very smart so I used that font to portray that.

I just took a picture from the internet about this guy and I tried another type of font that looked kind of like scribbles. Though I really didn't like how it turned out so I turned to the chalkboard type. 

(It really just kind of fits with me since I try to remember that every day that I could have it a lot worse, so I might as well try to make the best with what I have. I really only want people to be a bit more grateful or appreciative when looking at this, and the only symbolism in this is Koro-sensei's head, considering he's the one who says the quote.  

The most difficult was to try and change the font, I really didn't get it just like it was in the example, but I think I quite like this way better.  I really just kept trying over and over again with my endless stubbornness, though if I were to change anything I would probably make the text a bit darker. But that's just nit picking. 

I suppose it's the closest to sureal art, but it is my unique style because I put a couple of things together, like the character I tweaked the style of the font to fit to my tastes. I really just like ho wit all came together using one of my favorite quotes. 

Megan Daniels"Lillypup"

10"x7.5", Photoshop, 2023 

My idea with this is that I wanted to make a collage of my dog Lilly. She means a lot to me and I thought that she would be perfect for this since I have a bunch of pictures of her throughout her life. I also just really love her. I was really just experimenting with it and it came out like this. I was gonna maybe make it really faded but I like this way better. It makes it pop more.  

I remember that I put a lot of highlighting and shading in. That's why my dog is pink while she usually isn't, I also just used the paint tool for the background with the pink and purple, the black and pink dots. It is also the same texture as the shadows of Lillypup so I thought it would mix well. I think that I used shading on the lettering as well, that's why it's got a small shadow and a little bit of lighting in the gray. 

I honestly just want them to feel my love for my puppy. I used the purple and pink because she used to have a purple collar and she currently has a pink collar. She seems to like the color pink, but it's not like I can really ask. You'll notice that she is mostly lying down in the pictures of her. That is because I wanted to show her in her natural state, lazy. In the middle picture she is actually the really young. She must have been two years old, but in the others they were around the last couple of years. I guess I did that because she just looks so innocent in the middle one. You could also look at it in a way that since she's glowing in all the picture's and the background is kind of dark you could say she's the light in my darkness. 

I think that the background was the hardest, since it took me a while to get it right and I don't even know how I got it to look like that at this piont. I really overcame all my struggles by rolling with the punches and experimenting until I got it right. until I got it to feel like my little Lilly. And you know what, I don't think I would change anything. 

I think that it is surreal, It shows my Lilly in a background that isn't actually real or how I put some changes to Lilly's coloring. It makes it my own unique style because she is my dog and well, I created it from scratch. I love it because it represents my dog, I really just  love it because it's about my little girl. I also just think it looks really cute.
