PROCESS OF WORK
1.Idea Sketch

Digitalize
After sketching, I proceed with the design and digitalize using Adobe illustrator. I design it with most of it tracing and for the font/typo I choose the font which are existing but also (expand in Adobe and slightly make it my own design).

Since all of it there are no colour added, its look like sketches (Mr.Vinod thought the digitalize is a sketching) and incomplete feel without adding some colour elements.
After that, I've message Mr.Vinond in Facebook for some advice. Here are the changes I make. Here are some of my process doing in Adobe Illustrator.
