TYPE SONG POSTER PROJECT
The Type Song Poster Project turns Jason Derulo’s “Trumpets” into a bold and energetic poster design. I used AI to create many different visual pieces, then combined and refined them to build the final composition. The design uses glowing typography, curved text, and a dark, dramatic color palette to reflect the rhythm and mood of the song. The final result is a creative poster system that mixes experimental visuals with a clean, polished layout…

PICTOGRAM PROJECT
This project was created for a student-led exhibition, where I designed a series of ten original pictograms based on the words: problems, purpose, promoted, experience, desire, future, kindness, peace, and mindset. The goal was to maintain strong visual consistency across all icons while communicating each concept in an abstract, non-literal way. Using simplified forms and consistent line work, I focused on creating a cohesive system that conveys meaning through design rather than direct representation…

IMformative billboard project
The Informative Billboard Project is a highway safety design focused on warning drivers about the danger of distracted driving. I used Photoshop to combine many different visual pieces, including the driver, phone, airbag, cracked glass, and highway billboard setting, into one realistic final image. The bold headline, “Eyes on the Road, Lives on the Line,” uses strong contrast and simple wording so the message can be understood quickly from a distance. The final design is clean, direct, and impactful, making the safety message easy to read and hard to ignore…

Album Cover redesign Project
The Album Cover Redesign Project reimagines Tyler, The Creator’s Don’t Tap the Glass with a bold, comic-inspired visual style. I created the design in Adobe Illustrator, building the character, typography, shattered glass details, and layout from scratch as vector artwork. The red, black, and white color palette gives the cover a strong sense of energy and impact, while the large type and central punching pose make the album feel playful, loud, and memorable. The final design creates a full front-and-back album package that feels clean, sharp, and true to the attitude of the artist…

LEGENDS & LORE PROJECT
The Legends & Lore Project is a 10-page publication design based on a cinematic sci-fi story called Lazarus Mission V. I created a dark, space-inspired visual system using atmospheric imagery, dramatic typography, and structured page layouts to match the mystery and isolation of the narrative. The design combines story pages, mission-style text, and promotional mockups to make the project feel like part of a larger sci-fi universe. The final result is a polished publication that feels immersive, cinematic, and professionally designed…
