3D GENERALIST AND MOTION DESIGNER

HAMBURGER

I started this project just as a chance to try out some new Adobe Illustrator techniques I had learned, like "3D illustration" and "Gradient Meshes".

I took a photo from my library of a hamburger and fries and then created each element using a variety of illustration techniques.

I modeled bun and elements of the burger using a gradient mesh technique

I created the french-fries using 3D shapes with texture mapping and then shaped them further using mesh warp.

I hand-painted the ketchup blob and made the plate out of blended circle shapes.

For the shadows, I created multi-point gradient fills and placed them under the fries, plate, and burger.

I added textures and grain to the image and heightened the saturation and contrast in Photoshop for this final image.
