Banner for the halloween project

This is a personal project inspired by halloween being seen more as a holiday than just an event. I created a bunch of different design ideas and tried three different ones as practice. My first idea was to make birthday donuts, before moving onto the idea of halloween cards. The reason donuts were the main feature of my cards was because I was inspired by a donut shop in Ouseburn, Newcastle - the idea was to create cards for that shop specifically, which then moved into a general idea of making halloween cards for different treats.

Then I looked into making ideas for toy designs, my inspiration for these (top two) were jellycats and dog toys. I then made 3D models of these designs. ​

Then I made some stickers based on the halloween card designs I made, one of them is included in one of the final cards, and the other is included in my wrapping paper, which is below. For the wrapping paper, I wanted to make it similar to the style of the cards but a little more simplified. So, the shading was similar but the art styles are more of a "chibi" version.
