ART PORTFOLIO

“The wind is rising. We must try to live.” - The Wind Rises, 2013

My older brother graduated from university this year and the family is hosting a tiny jig to celebrate. Naturally, my parents asked me to design the invite, and naturally it was a rush job because they’re well informed of how design works :))

Spontaneous lettering turned into vectoring! I'm hoping I could do simpler pieces like this for a while despite the hectic schedule.

I'm a marketing student. My home academic org in my university approached me to design a poster for their series, Ad Quote of the Week, that features quotes from revered advertising, marketing, and communications gurus. I chose a short quote that was simpe, yet spoke in volumes. I chose a short one because I'm lazy, too. I haven't designed anything in the longest time, so I had so much fun just playing around with this until 3am.

This is so ironic; I didn't feel the slightest merry feeling making this. There are so many things off here. As an artist, I think the saddest feeling is being compelled  to make something even though you know not a single thing will work the way it was priorly planned. It's like being tied down to a vehicle of some sort about to run of a cliff. It's alright, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.

My dear friend needed some encouragement.

First time to path text! It was pretty difficult since it was hard to align the text properly with the shapes. Plus, I'm annoyed how the banners are pixelated, even after converting those into Smart objects.

A (really late) birthday gift to one of my absolute-st dearest friends. She was given the nickname "Little Miss Sunshine" since she had this gift where everyone would be drawn to her without her even trying. Elegance.

Three (3) posters I made for the UA&P Media Management Committee. I didn't do anything, but this during the weekend. It was fun.

A little something to return the favor to my photography mentor. The photograph was taken by her, and it just looked so good to put type on. I didn't do justice to complement the photograph. 

This was done using (the incredibly difficult) Photoshop CS6 Portable.
