Header Picture Project: Take a Ride With Melissa Chaib

melissa chaib

It’s a new month, so it’s anoth­er iter­a­tion of the Head­er Pic­ture Project! June’s illus­tra­tion was cre­at­ed by the love­ly Melis­sa Chaib, whose work I’ve fea­tured on Brown Paper Bag before. I think she cre­at­ed a super fun and col­or­ful image that per­fect­ly cap­tures the mag­ic of summer.

You can own a gor­geous mini 4″ x 6″ print of this work for only $8!

Here’s a short inter­view I con­duct­ed with Melis­sa about her work. Thanks, Melissa!

Name: Melis­sa Chaib
Loca­tion: Mexico
Web­site: melissachaib.com
What was your dream job when you were 7 years old? I don’t remem­ber actu­al­ly, but I’ve always been into cre­at­ing things, as far back as I can remember.
Your pro­fes­sion now: Graph­ic Design­er & Illustrator
What’s your favorite thing to draw? Women going on adventures
What was the inspi­ra­tion for this piece? I think life in gen­er­al was my biggest influence
our jour­ney explor­ing and seek­ing answers to the many doubts that rise up in our every­day life with the curi­ous feel­ing that there is more than we have been told to believe.
How did you cre­ate your illus­tra­tion? Was it any dif­fer­ent than your reg­u­lar process? It was real­ly excit­ing to col­lab­o­rate with a blog that I admire so much
I always want to push myself with every project and make sure I am learn­ing some­thing new along the way.

I tried out dif­fer­ent ideas and lay­outs, cre­at­ed a mood board with image ref­er­ences and colours.
Which place would you go to on this block? I think I’d get my nails done. Me too, and then I could seri­ous­ly go for a huge choco­late cake across the street. Yup.
