These early ideations were done in illustrator, at the request of our professor. At first I wasn't too worried about using illustrator- it used to be my drug of choice, after all, ages ago- but 15 minutes into the project I was ripping my hair out over the damned program. It's funny how utterly dependent we become on the programs we prefer. Those programs won't always be there; computers crash, licenses expire, sometimes clients prefer methods that simply aren't our preference. Fluency in a wide variety of mediums is the best way to ensure quality and consistency.
It doesn't look it, but these stupid concepts took me hours and hours and hours. I could have modeled them and rendered them in 20 minutes. But it was good to revisit illustrator. Even though it's evil.
