Fashion Show Ad

This is probably one of my favorite works. The assignment was to create an ad for a Spring Fashion Show. I tried to make an airy and light-hearted look. I was really cautious with color usage because of the spring theme, therefore I made sure I didn't use rich or deep colors. I was tempted though... haha. My favorite part of this work would be the leaves and the color variation I made for the word "Color." I used a drop shadows for the flowers for a more 3D look. I used "command + J" to make the swirls. The vector image of the man was given with a list of other options by our instructor. To make the leaves look like they're moving with the wind I used the symbol scatter tool and I played around with the other symbol option to make them vary in size, shape, and direction.

CD Covers (Front & Back) for Kaskade


I was assigned to make a CD cover for a musician. I chose my favorite Techno DJ Kaskade. His music is very ambient and rich with sensual tones; I tried to recreate his music style on the cover. I like what I did but I find it a little too sensual and passionate for a techno album (maybe better for Jazz or R&B?).

Symbol Art (Tension, Scale, Playful, Congestion, & Pattern)





This one of my first projects in Graphic Design. The objective was to create artistic representations of certain words, i.e. tension, only using keyboard symbols. It was a bit of a challenge for a novice as myself at that time, but I was happy with the end result.

Jesus Christ Superstar

Not one of my favorite works... But I needed to put something up... My class and I made these posters for a school play that's coming up. I used a lot of drop shadow and outer glow. Since it was Jesus themed, I though I would make a headphone version of roasary beads...unfortunately I wasn't able to depict how I imagined it. There weren't enough options for rosary beads online. I used the brush tool for the headphone shine.
