Poster Illustration for Feel-Good Interiors

Begin the course by getting to know editorial illustrator Adriana Quezada. She talks through the creative journey that led her to pursue a career in illustration, along with the influences that inspire her work. Then take a look at what you can expect from the course.

Dive into the purpose of a poster and the different elements it should include, from color to layout. Learn how to collect inspiration for your art from the space around you. Then explore how to come up with a theme and concept for your illustration.

Time to create your poster! Begin with the visual research and decide on a color palette, using a mood board for reference. Look at the materials needed to create your project before diving into general composition and lettering. Adriana guides you through her personal illustration process, from sketching the layout on paper to combining all the graphic elements.

Scan your final sketch and trace it using digital tools in Adobe Illustrator. Start with the basic shapes before moving on to characters. Then trace the lettering elements of your design before adding the finer details like texture and pattern to enhance it.

Review your work using Adriana’s poster checklist, then export it ready for printing. To finish the course, Adriana shares her advice for framing your poster and decorating your home with furniture and other prints that complement it.
