Portraits made using triangular art and pixel drawing techniques, exploring geometric abstraction in digital art. Process: Experimented with different geometric approaches to portrait representation, starting with basic triangular shapes and gradually building complexity. Used both vector and raster techniques to achieve different textures. Technical Challenge: Learning to balance geometric precision with organic human features, finding the right level of abstraction that maintains recognizability. Learning Outcome: Mastered advanced Adobe techniques and developed an appreciation for geometric art styles. This project pushed me to think beyond traditional portrait approaches.

Drawn in Adobe Illustrator and brought to life using Photoshop, combining vector illustration with animation principles. Process: Started with concept sketches, then created vector illustrations in Illustrator focusing on clean, animation-friendly shapes. Imported to Photoshop for frame-by-frame animation, paying attention to timing and easing. Technical Challenge: Ensuring smooth animation while keeping file size manageable. Learning to think in terms of motion and timing rather than static design. Learning Outcome: Gained proficiency in animation principles and learned how to create engaging motion graphics that enhance storytelling.

Alpaca festival landing page design, focusing on playful branding and event promotion. Process: Developed a complete brand identity starting with the playful 'Alpacalypse' concept. Created custom illustrations, chose typography that balances fun with readability, and designed a layout optimized for event information hierarchy.

Poster made using two typefaces and 3 colours, exploring the fundamentals of typographic hierarchy and color theory. Process: Started with extensive typeface research, testing different combinations for contrast and harmony. Applied color theory principles to create visual hierarchy and emotional impact with minimal elements. Design Challenge: Creating visual interest and clear communication using only two typefaces and three colors. Every decision had to be intentional and purposeful. Learning Outcome: Mastered fundamental design principles and learned that effective design often comes from constraint rather than unlimited options. This project taught me the power of simplicity and intentional design choices.
