Courses Projects

Original Superhero Character Design Project

This project focuses on creating an original superhero from scratch using Adobe Illustrator CC. The student starts with a concept brief that outlines the superhero’s backstory, powers, and personality traits. Based on this, the character's body type, facial features, costume, and color palette are developed. Emphasis is placed on anatomical structure, dynamic posing, and clear silhouette design. The process includes rough sketching, vector outlining, shape building, and applying shading and highlights using gradient tools in Illustrator. Students also design accessories and props that reflect the superhero's abilities. The final outcome is a fully colored character sheet featuring front, side, and action poses along with expression variations. This project strengthens the student’s understanding of visual storytelling and professional character presentation.

Character Design for a Children’s Storybook

In this project, students are tasked with developing a set of original characters for a children’s storybook. The narrative is kept simple, such as a story involving forest animals or magical beings. Each character is designed to reflect their role in the story—hero, villain, or sidekick—using appealing proportions, color theory, and emotional expressions. Students use Illustrator CC’s pen and shape tools to build clean, scalable vector illustrations. They also create character interaction scenes to depict storytelling through expressions and gestures. This project helps students understand how to design characters that are relatable and visually engaging for a young audience. The final deliverable includes a character line-up and selected scene illustrations, showcasing consistency and storytelling clarity.
