Creativity & Concept Development Training

Spring 2024 | Training Course

Received intensive training from a design professional exploring partnership between marketing and design

Identified marketing objectives with strategies to impact targeted audience

Practiced capturing attention using creative design techniques to incite viewer’s response

  • A 6x6" design inspired by Breaking Bad created in Photoshop. The aim was to create a unique and compositionally interesting design.

  • A 6×6” design that explores risograph printing and production techniques, inspired by an image of my cat.

  • Using unique and inspirational imagery, I designed a 6x6" design that narrates the poem "The Tyger" by William Blake, using double exposure layering in Photoshop.

  • I used colorful imagery to design a 6x6" promo for an Elephant Sanctuary with the intent of visually calming and pleasing viewers using a pink/green color palette.

  • A design that accompanies the song "Day by Day" by Godspell Ensemble. I wanted this to rely on nostalgic feel and tone to create an emotional connection with the song.

  • A 6x6" sketch based on the movie poster for Mean Girls, with the intent of using Illustrator's "image trace" feature to turn hand-drawn sketches into vector designs/illustrations.

  • An exploration of Photoshop filters and techniques using the same image, which was a gouache painting I made. 

Past Projects

Nothing Happens Album Redesign

Fall 2023

The objective of this project was to recreate an existing album as a vinyl record and communicate the concept and attitude of the album using photography, typography, and layout design. I chose to recreate Wallows' album Nothing Happens.

Typographic Poster Series

Spring 2023

The objective of this project was to research three historical social movements (Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, Chibok's Bring Back Our Girls, Black Lives Matter), determine a common theme that these three movements share, and to design a typographic poster series that represents and honors these movements to promote a fictitious event.

The theme of this project was "unSEEN". With this theme, my goal was to create complexity and contrast in my posters to enable the audience to better understand the common purpose and “deep hunger” of these social movements.

This theme inspired me to create the best stylistic approach and typographic methods for my posters, which involved a combination of analog and digital methods using opacity, proximity, fragmentation, and paradox.

Illustrations

2022-2023

A collection of some illustrations I have done through my fine art classes. The mediums I used included soft and oil pastels, scratchboard, and printmaking with a collage of recycled materials and textiles.
