With elephants being my main subject matter in my work I wanted to incorporate it into something that you don't see every day. I as I was walking in a clothing store I saw a bow tie and the two ends reminded me of the ears of an elephant. I took that concept and first sketched it out by hand and adding sapphires as the eyes. When making in Illustrator I used the customary colors of a suit and tie attire and then blurring the back to add more emphasis on the bow tie.

Going back to the idea of graphic design I wanted to play around with typography. Sticking with the subject of elephant it is obvious that I would use that as the word. But instead of using the whole word for say the head or the body I broke it up by using the letters E, L,E, P, H, and A and the head with P being the center point serving as the elephant's trunk. Then N and T were used to make the body and the tail. I didn't put a background because I felt that if I did it will distract the audience from the main subject, the elephant.

Another object that caught my attention were glasses. The shape of each lens again reminded me of elephant ears. So I based the rest of the drawing around the glasses in the sketch and when illustrating it I decided on the color scheme. I chose the same colors as the previous typography elephant because it's a color that I personally liked and wanted to use it again. This time I didn't want to put a whole lot of emphasis on the object that makes the elephant but rather the elephant itself so I made the ears the same color as the body to blend in while still making the lens a bit transparent so that the glasses concept won't go away. To make it more humorousI decided to give the elephant a pair of glasses as well.
