For this project the client had a photo of an iconic member of their family. I biography had been written and they wanted to somehow create an icon from this image so that they could foil deboss the image on the cover of the book as well as use the icon for other purposes that a photo wouldn’t work for.
To do this our artist needed to capture the likeness in a simplified form. Removing as many details as possible while still maintaining enough details to be completely recognizable to the family as to who it was portraying.
