Jack is looking to expand his imagination and knowledge through different means of art. Below is some of the work Jack has done for college.
Album Cover Assignment
Assign Date: 11/7/24
This was one of the assignments where I got to try out my cartooning skills. I wanted to create a virtual band, so I drew out what one of the covers would look like. The art style is inspired by the talents of Bryan Lee O’Malley, Jamie Hewlett, and the late Edd Gould. This would be a prototype cover as I haven’t completed my cartoon band yet.
Comic Panel Assignment
Assign Date: 11/21/24
This is a prototype panel for a graphic novel/comic for my virtual band. In this assignment, the teacher wanted us to use various brushes in Illustrator. I didn’t know what she meant, so I came up with this. I used a sketch from lined paper and scanned it to my computer so I would have to trace it out to prevent inking as it would bleed through the paper.
Book Cover Assignment
Assign Date: 10/17/24
This is a prototype cover for my comic. When it came up, I was excited. I was in a rush, trying to complete it within a day. This cover was inspired by the front covers of graphic novels Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life and Jason Derulo’s UZO. The art style is inspired by the talents of Bryan Lee O’Malley, Jamie Hewlett, and the late Edd Gould. The novel is still in the works, so this might get updated.
Magazine Cover Assignment
Assign Date: 1/31/24
This was for an assignment that allowed us to design magazines without using photos, just illustrations. I created a fake topic to match the class where I made this, called Illustrator’s Digest, which is a catalog for Adobe Illustrator users. The original idea was to create a cover for a giant-size comic magazine, but after finding out about a different type of magazine, I changed my mind due to timing.
Animal Landscape Assignment
Assign Date: 11/7/24
These three pictures I made were part of one of the first assignments from this class. This design has three variants alone as part of part two of the first assignment. These designs are inspired by the three cover variants for the Gorillaz album Plastic Beach as they show a daytime, evening, and nighttime variant of each one.

Comic Label Logo Assignment
Assign Date: 10/10/24
These nine logos are for an assignment that allowed us to use pen and pencil tools. These logos are different variants of each other to showcase what it would look like if a company changed its logo over time. The logo I chose was an independent comic book store or studio, inspired by my obsession with creating comics as an independent career.
