During my collaboration with Estudio Cría, I worked on developing illustrations inspired by Argentine icons, applied to products such as keychains, magnets, earrings, and pendants. The project's focus was to capture the visual and cultural identity of Argentina through a unique graphic style that reflected its essence and symbology. The products will be marketed on a large scale in retail stores.

In addition to creating illustrations, I participated in preparing files for printing, ensuring that each design was correctly adapted for laser cutting and printing on acrylic plates. I also worked on optimizing graphic materials, achieving final pieces with high quality and production precision.

This experience allowed me to deepen the connection between illustration and graphic production, refining both the creative and technical aspects. Furthermore, it provided me with an introduction to the process of designing products with identity, adapted for commercial physical formats.

I was responsible for vectorizing illustrations intended for printing on acrylic plates and laser cutting, ensuring that each design had the necessary quality and precision for its production.

Part of my work included creating the circle for the hardware, ensuring that the hole was correctly positioned and adapted to the final product format. This adjustment was essential to ensure that the keychains and pendants had proper functionality without compromising the design.

This experience provided me with practical knowledge about the relationship between digital drawing and physical production, ensuring that the files were technically adapted for manufacturing processes.
