Fugløyafestivalen 2016

The climbing club in Bodø has, for the past years, arranged a climbing festival on Fugløya, outside of Bodø. This year my bf was part of the committee planning the festival so I ended up getting roped into helping out.
Such hardships I endure!! ;^)

Their request was a Lundefugl (or Puffin), native to the island, wearing some climbing gear. I first did some quick sketches on a sketchpad to get the ideas down and, when satisfied with the idea, did a simple and "clean" sketch in photoshop.

The "glorious" PS sketch and finished illustration.

The festival doesn't have a logo and let whoever is designing the t-shirt and poster to do what they want, so the whole affair is pretty relaxed. I had to improvise and do a quick logo that was a little cleaner than the illustration (for readability), but still matched it.

Here's the finished t-shirt with the illustration! :^)
The sketch was vectorized in AI for a clean print!

I also did a poster for them in A3 so they could print it themselves- It has a white border so that they didn't have to do any cutting work for easy printing. The background color was matched to this years T-shirt (100% Cyan!) and I incorporated a photo of Fugløya they wanted to include.

I heard the festival was a success and from the stories, I think they had a pretty good time. My bf said he got compliments on the T-shirt, so seems like a job well done! It was a fun project to do outside of work and I enjoyed working on the illustration while getting tips and good conversations from the Ketsjup crew! Thanks for the motivation guys!

Thanks for looking!
