I began this project by creating a list of the most important memories and traits of my family. I began to brainstorm places and events that are important and symbolize us. The first thing that came to my mind was the beach. My family loves the coast, as well as lighthouses. I knew I needed to incorporate those in my project. I then decided to create hand made sketches of elements that remind me of the beach.
I then knew that I needed to incorporate all of our pets within the design as well. Four cats, Nana, Ketza, Twilight, and Spike; as well as our two dogs, Lony and Bailey.
After scanning my sketches into the computer, I traced them into Photoshop.
I then created a simple shield form by using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.
I then began to incorporate all of my scanned/ traced images into the shield.

My final shield incorporates waves form the beach as well as a lighthouse. The 6 animals incorporated in my shioeld depicts all of the pets I have had over the entirity of my life.
