Mambo Designs

There is currently a competition for a Mambo artist and this is my entry...
As Mambo is a surf make I wanted to work with a beach theme and I decided on turtles. I traced the outlines of some turtles and then added patterns for the shell and the rest of its body.




Colour was added next. I decided to keep all three turtles the same kind of colours so that they weren't too jazzy.

I also added these waves as a background. I kept it various shades of blue but kept an order to them.

All of the components were added together and this is how my final design turned out..

Another Card Design...

This is another one of my designs. I decided to make a new pattern and add lots of shapes, lines and colours. There are some close up of the lines and smaller patterns within, then the final image.





I really like this finished design and i think that it would also look good as a poster or a postcard.

Card for a friend...

This is one of the designs which I did for my friend to give as a birthday card. I followed an online tutorial for the idea and adapted it. The 'Emily' was done on Illustrator and then I used Photoshop for the background and to tweak it.
