As part of my Illustration class, I was given the assignment of designing a deck of cards with a front and back design. The challenge was to incorporate three words - an adjective, color, and noun - into the design. The words assigned to me were "joyous," "pistachio," and "beard." Additionally, the design had to feature a monochromatic color palette. To meet the challenge, I chose to depict a cheerful man shaving his beard using pistachio-colored shaving cream in a bathroom with pistachio-colored tiles.
