Michael Martin-Smucker:

For my latest digital illustration project, I have been using Adobe Illustrator to draw a set of custom icons. Many of these vector drawings are used on this website, and many more will be added as they are completed. Eventually I hope this project will become as complete as an operating system icon theme, but for now I am only adding to it when I have need for a specific icon. The work is freely available under a Creative Commons license. The compressed download includes Illustrator .ai files and .png images.

I created these Save the Date cards early this year before my wedding in May. The flower vector graphics are drawn with Adobe Illustrator, and the project can be downloaded as the original Illustrator file or a PDF. The Illustrator file may have font dependencies.

Square 1 is a mock board game company that I created during my second Graphic Design course at Goshen College. During the course, we created logos, graphics, business letters, product prototypes, advertising, and much more for our mock companies. The final project was to create a graphic design user manual, which explains to other designers how fonts, colors, and graphics should be used in relation to company materials. The design manual is included here in its original form as an Adobe InDesign file as well as a PDF.

This self-portrait was one of my first complex projects using Adobe Illustrator. The image is a vector graphic - meaning it can be scaled to any size without losing quality - and is made up of many small shapes filled with a gradient (using Illustrator's gradient mesh tool). To see the individual pieces that make up this image, you can download the .ai file. If you only want to look more closely at the final product, I have also posted a larger png image.
