The Twelve Olympians

Student illustration project

Brandon Thacker

The Twelve Olympians title composition

Twelve stories. One visual system.

I translated the attributes of twelve Greek deities into a family of illustrated symbols. Each icon has its own character, while shared geometry, color and composition make the whole collection easy to recognize as one system.
