"Tell me, what was your first design?"

Post by antzfx »

Since my school days, I have done a lot of art -- cartoons and posters. My digital age started in the year 2000. Recently, I read a blog entry by a designer who interviewed others about their first designs. A lot of interesting stuff came up. Inspired, I dug up three designs from my back-up CDs belonging to the time 2000-2001.
One of them is this:

Do you have any interesting first designs to share? What was your first design?

This is not an ad but one of the first projects I did in Corel Draw 5 on a 486 machine with 4 or 8MB RAM.
I copied this illustration from some ad in a tabloid called "Express Computers". Don't know if it exists anymore. Anyways, take a look...

@Desh Premi
That design is interesting. What was the year in which you created it?
@pixelfiesta
From the description, I assume that the design is done in early 1990s.

Thanks for sharing the files.

certainly not my first, but some of my earlier work. perhaps from 1999 or 2000. We used Macromedia Freehand and Adobe Photoshop running on Apple Macs. In fact I have been lucky to not have worked on any windows based systems! it used to be such fun...
