Overview
This self-initiated vector poster captures a funny, bold, and relatable scene: a middle-aged woman multitasking while getting ready for a date. From mascara and hairpins to a lit cigarette and chaotic patterns, the artwork celebrates the humor and reality of everyday womanhood with a playful, pop-art-inspired style.
Creative Approach
Entirely created in Adobe Illustrator, the piece showcases my love for colorful pattern design, layered composition, and character-driven storytelling.
Bold Vector Technique: Clean lines meet layered textures and expressive color blocks.
Pattern Play: I used custom patterns throughout the piece to add energy and visual contrast.
Humor & Personality: The subject’s exaggerated pose and facial expression bring a light, comedic tone.
Character Focus: A celebration of age, beauty, and the chaos of getting ready with personality and heart.
Conclusion
This project highlights my strengths in vector illustration, humor, and visual storytelling. With over 15 years of design experience, I love crafting images that connect, entertain, and stand out—whether for client work or personal expression.
