Jared Shofner & Jason Harvey

Renowned web designer, Jason Harvey, entrusted me with crafting a unique character for his personal brand, SomeFolk, during its rebranding phase. Jason sought a vintage-inspired character, subtly mirroring his own persona. The final design showcased two distinct full-body illustrations: one of Jason hand in hand with a computer, and another depicting him struggling with a monstera plant.

NOTE:  Jason wanted the character drawn with motion and humor to create more dynamic illustations.

HOW IT WENT

Following the completion of the project, the illustrations emerged as vibrant, dynamic, and meticulously crafted pieces that breathed life into Jason's brand. Their playful yet professional appeal truly resonated. Jason expressed his delight with the final outcomes, affirming that the designs exceeded his expectations.
