Print design, branding, freelancing
As a graphic designer, my passion lies in using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign to design captivating visuals. Working with companies to develop brands that resonate deeply with their audiences brings me joy. This can include logos, flyers, business cards etc. I like printmaking, whether it’s designing intricate cards, captivating books, or eye-catching posters. Adding special finishes like foil or decorative elements elevates my practical work, infusing it with a touch of uniqueness. Adobe Illustrator is my toolkit, where I shape my design ideas into real-world creations. Recently, I’ve discovered a new passion for packaging design, which links with my work for companies. Crafting visually striking and functional packaging solutions presents an exciting challenge that I like to take. What I love most about graphic design is the ability to blend creativity with practicality.
Oxford University Press book cover series
The Oxford University Press project involved redesigning three book covers from their 'A Very Short Introduction' series with a space theme. The goal was to create more engaging covers to attract readers interested in space and our solar system. The new designs feature gold foiling for a glittery, starry effect, enhancing their visual appeal. Each cover includes flaps providing additional details and a quick introduction to the author and the book, making them both informative and visually captivating.
Euphony magazine
The magazine project featured female pop stars, focusing on significant changes in their music careers, their departures to explore new ventures, and their triumphant returns to the industry. The design aimed to capture their dynamic journeys and enduring appeal, with inside pages showing featured articles. Additionally, the project included creating a series of covers for two other issues, showcasing consistent and engaging design themes across the set.
This is Aviation newspaper
My newspaper project for the Advanced Editorial module focused on aviation, covering the latest news from the industry, including aircraft, airlines, mysteries, and more. It featured long-read articles and listings of 2024 air shows worldwide. The design aimed to provide in-depth coverage and comprehensive information for aviation enthusiasts and professionals.
