This is my first crack at a sticker design, depicting a headless greyhound representing the poor conditions in which racing greyhounds are kept. I really like it as a design, I still think i might need to isolate some areas a little more (by making more white or something) but I need to ask in the next illustrator session for some help with that.
I've started creating this image in illustrator and I like the shapes I've used and the overall image but I'm not sure it connects that explicitly with the quote I was inspired by (jazz isn't dead it just smells funny). It seems like a bit of a cop out maybe to just have the quote written around the edge of a picture which only relates to the theme in a general sense. The idea which has inspired this sticker (and some other sticker designs I haven't tried out yet) - me wanting the image of jazz music to become less exclusive, and for it to be played in more places such as a bars and clubs as it was in the olden days when it was very much the peoples music, is a very difficult one to express in one simple image. This is probably why Ive been having to limit my ideas to fairly simple, generally jazz related images and hope the quote can help illustrate my point, even if it is somewhat indirectly.
