Ever thought of a weird job that you want which also doesn’t exist?

Me neither, but I now have four of ’em.

For this project, all of us have come up with new and interesting jobs, extract the essence of them, and infuse that with a name or initials that represent us.

So, here are the four jobs I’ve thought of for myself:

1. Candy Chemist

 

 

I’m sure there’s a job like this in the real world, but ‘Candy Chemist’ probably isn’t the correct term.

Anywho, by my interpretation, I feel that the essence of a candy chemist would include items like test tubes, beakers, colourful liquids, and of course, morsels of sugary goodness.

 

 

For the font, I feel a serif one would reflect the seriousness of a chemist, and I want to try making it look semi-realistic through the use of textures and masking.

 

 

 

2. Firefly Mechanic

 

 

I’ve never seen a firefly in real life, so this job would be the perfect opportunity to shed some light on how their glowing butts work.

To show the mechanic side of this job, I picked out, circuits, blueprints, and gears as the main key elements.

 

 

As for the firefly part, all I could think of was their glowing butts, so, light bulbs and LEDs.

 

 

For the texts, I want to try going for a 2D vector style (simplistic and flat like a blueprint), and add layers for the various ‘components’ of a firefly.

 

 

3. Secret Stasher

 

 

When told a secret, I manage pretty well in not divulging it to the world. I keep them all to myself in a little safe, locked up nicely for added security.

This secured stash of secrets can be boiled down to items such as safe boxes, locks, keys, chains, and wax seals.

 

 

For the font, elements such as the keys and locks will be merged together to form the letters (not just arranging them as they are, but distorting them a little to fir the shape of the letter).

 

 

4. Tear Stain Remover

 

 

As much as possible, when a friend of mine is down and need some comfort, I’ll be their listening ear and try to cheer them up. They may have cried, but I’ll fight water with water and wash away those tears.

Obviously, cleaning is a big part of this job, so a few of the essential items would be sponges, squeegees, bubbles, and water.

 

 

 

 

 

My first instinct was to do this piece using watercolours, and the fonts will be in a cartoon-ish style.
