In-house projects like this Chili Cook-Off poster have always been a favorite of mine. This poster started with a series of hand-drawn, pen-and-ink, simple graphics that were brought into the digital world using Adobe Capture. From there it was simple to drag the icons from my library into Illustrator and apply a simple color scheme. For the color, I wanted a 50's era feel. I used my iPhone and Kuler, now Adobe Color CC, to capture a color scheme from a 50's era package that I liked. The other pieces are award certificates for the winners.
