It naturally takes a good bit of thought to get an idea to gel. I always keep a piece of paper in my pocket so I can jot down notes and ideas that might come while I'm on the run. These first thoughts were done while I was having lunch at one of my favorite restaurants. The top two depict stars and stripes with the lettering integrated. Not too interesting, but a start. The next one shows people yelling at Uncle Sam, not bad. The fourth rough shows people yelling at an elephant and donkey, symbols of our political parties, I thought that this idea had possibilities.
When I got home, another idea occurred to me, people opening the capital dome and yelling at congress, this was it, it told the whole story with a simple graphic.
I developed the idea with a more detailed sketch, it looked like this idea would make a great visual symbol.
Several further developmental sketches were drawn as I worked out the idea.
A few sketches of heads were drawn until I developed one that worked well.
A drawing of the capitol building was done next.
I assembled everything on the computer where I also added the lettering, finishing the design. Be sure to check out this site at letsventamerica.com and put in your two cents worth.
