I was asked recently to create some illustrations with icons of recyclable items for a publication promoting Dakota County's recycling program. The initial cover image (above) was the first hurdle. Once we got approval on this image, I moved onto the chapter illustrations below which focus on categories of recycling. Scott Shore, owner of Lure Design (www.LureDesign.net) gave me some great art direction and will finish the pages with his graphic design details.

Hi Marilyn!
I started out with pencil sketches and scanned them. I played with composition of the tree using the pencil roughs as fpo. Once I was happy with the rough layout, I printed the composition out and re-rendered the tree in pencil. After scanning in that image, I used it as a template and created the shapes in Adobe Illustrator. I then use the shapes as a mask for the photos. Illustrator CS2 is great for seeing what essentially are Photoshop effects... but without the lag time.
