GRAPHIC DESIGN PROJECTS
Below is a compilation of previous grahic design work from school, work, or that I've done on my spare time. I have used Abobe programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator for all of these projects.
This portrait includes 6 different people in it to make one person. This assignment is a representation of how we're all different people through our personalities and looks, but we all come together as one to make a difference in the world. I wanted to show that even though we all look the same, we are all equal in this world. I made the whole project look like ripped pieces from magazines, replicating how some people rip things out of magazines that they like. Most people see magazine and are in awe or how beautiful one may look in it. I wanted this to show that anyone is just as beautiful as the highly Photoshopped model they admire from a magazine.

Larger File of Menu
This was a final project for my Graphic Design course in high school where we had to create a highly detailed menu of our own preference. I decided to create an urban breakfast cafe called Express Yourself. This cafe was also an art cafe where customers were able to bring in their artwork and the cafe would pay them to have it hung up. Inside the cafe we'd provide blank canvas' as well to give to customers in case they wanted to create something and have it hung up on our walls.
As for the menu, there is a coffee and drinks, bakery, eggs, and house special section. Provided in the menu were the basic breakfast foods served at any restuarant, as well as our house specials which were crepes, and waffles.
This project was very fun to make because I got to be creative and think of a whole new concept for a cafe. I thought my idea was very different, as well did my teacher because of the exceptional grade I recieved from this assignment.
Larger File of Ad
This is an Ad I re-created to represent an expectation verse reality comparison of Mcdonald's food. On the left is the original Ad, and on the right is the one I re-created.
The slogan is changed to "Fatten up... & feel disgusting!" because in reality, Mcdonald's makes you fat and you will always feel gross after eating something from there. The fries were changed from golden and crispy to a pale and rotten look because I wanted to inform others that it is kept stored with chemicals until ready to be re-cooked. On the left the burger is beautifully topped but in reality we usually recieve something that looks more like the burger on the right.
Although Mcdonald's is delicious and very addicting, it is very unhealthy. This is one of my works that I am most proud of because of the meaning behind it.
Larger File of Ad
This piece of work is made up of two components: a typography ad and a visual ad, both representing the same idea.
The meaning behind both these ads represents feminism. Women are equal to men, and we don't need a man by our side or have to be told we can't do a certain activity or job because we're women. These ads are about gender equality and that women should not be downgraded because we're not men.
Larger File of Invitation
This invitation was made for a family friend who asked me to make birthday invitations for her son's 5th birthday. She wanted an invitation that included where the party was and a photo of her son in it, as seen. After creating the invitation for her, she was very impressed and now asks me to make invitations for all her kids' birthday parties.
