Martial Arts Badges Project

The Project

The client gave me a lot of creative freedom for this project. The briefing was "custom drawn badges". From there it was up to me to design the bagdes. I used Adobe Illustrator after finishing some loose hand drawn sketches to realize the digital design.

First Sketches

For the Ninjas, I aimed to convey a feeling of motion, agility and strength.

Sketch Ninja Kicking
Sketch Ninja head and Fists
Sketch Jumping Ninja with two sticks
Sketch hovering Ninja with one Stick

Final Ninjas

Background Elements

Then I started experimenting with background options for the badges. To support the Martial Art theme, I wanted to give the background look an Asian touch.
