This was my first full vector project using Illustrator CS5 – this graphic is 100% vector with no PS fix ups so is infinitely scalable (take THAT 300dpi!). You can click the image below for an even bigger view.
I absolutely love CS5. It’s such a step up from CS4. The new “draw inside” (read: FH’s Paste Inside) is process-changing and really does enable a lot more flexibility.
This was my first attempt at a family crest… and I think it turned out pretty well. The surrounding fabric is referenced heavily from the Grand Royal Coat of Arms of France. See {HERE}
