Check out this award-winning student illustration project!

This illustration was done for a class project where we were tasked with creating two illustrations that convey two different emotions. This was one of them I created to convey the emotion of “happiness”. I wanted to convey the emotion through the colours and textures, as well as the expression on my face. This illustration was done on my iPad, but I still tried to give it a more traditional look to make it feel more personable.

This was the thirteenth year of the contest, but far from unlucky for Bachelor of Design students: First Place went to Megan Barry (IDEA Grad 2023), Second Place went to Janelle Momotani (IDEA Grad 2022), and Third Place went to Jamie Kusack (IDEA Grad 2023).

In addition, no fewer than seven IDEA students placed among the Top Ten: Alina Sandu (IDEA Grad 2022), Jason Low (IDEA Grad 2023), Janelle Momotani (as above), Joyce Chan (IDEA Grad 2023), Raha Namdari (IDEA Grad 2023), Alison Johnstone (IDEA Grad 2021), Aleksandar Jones (IDEA Grad 2023).

A clean sweep in the Illustration category!
