These are my two posters. Representing women empowerment- I wanted to create something that stood out and resonates with both women and men. Using pictures of myself, I wanted to capture an emotion that is usually hidden within- and masked on the outside.

My gradient mesh project was one of the most challenging. Being able to get every inch of the original picture replicated to a mesh duplicate was very frustrating. One of the elements that I worked the hardest on was my necklace, my hair, and my clothing strap. Showing the shades in color reflected in the mesh image took time, but turned out well.

Business cards- Updated and re-done While designing my business card logos, I wanted to portray the three things that define me. Patience, organization, and dance are the three most important aspects of my personality that make me who I am. During the creation of my business cards, I wanted to come off as both professional and creative. Building a design that was specific to each trait, yet appealing to the eye as well. The use of bright colors, simple designs, and creative layouts allowed me to achieve that goal.

Business Cards Final

This is my calligram. In remembrance of the lives lost in the parkland shooting, I wanted to portray an emotion through my piece. A look of concern, loss, and sympathy. Using the names of each life that was lost is what makes this project so hardening. It is a form of paying respects to each of the people that lost their life that day- as well as a way to pay respects to the friends, families, and community that were affected by the shooting as well.
