A graphic design I did back in late 2023 I think? An experiment on typography and a bunch of other things lol. I wanted to see how far I could push type, to see if I could make something that doesn't really have a purpose, other than to exist.

I also used a bunch of stuff I've made and found. Some of the textures are stuff I've scanned, or taken photos of; while others are things I've had for eons. I've also used some brushes from CSP, effects from PS, and used InDesign for the typography.

A poster design I drew for 2023 (I removed the year to make it neutral for all years xD).

I made this using Illustrator, so it's all vector based. Urk, the file is huge now because of all the layer effects. I was also very inspired by old Jazz posters, with a bit of Bossa Nova for that fun look! Her hair is confetti and her dress glitter, btw~

As for the pose/body, I loved the idea of combining her body, dress, and instrument into one. And yes, I made the pose very intentional. I wanted it to have a sensual feeling to it, because music can be very intimate! As for the font, I used another as a base and drew it myself to have a more fun/random feel to it.:-)

I don't share my graphic designs too much, because I find it difficult to find a space for them online (unless they have a specific purpose, like a banner for a theme, for example). But, I'd like to try posting some.

An old one. An experiment with the lasso vector tool in Photoshop. I also used a photo to trace over, as I wanted to see how far I could push the stylization, as well as still keeping certain features. I tried to incorporate typography in there, but no matter what I did, nothing worked; so I decided to keep it as is. It was a lot of fun though! Initially this was all a neutral brown, but I ended up going nuts with colours lol.

A drawing + graphic design I did several months back. I was in a pretty bad funk, and didn't feel like drawing (hence why it's a bit wonky), but I really wanted to design something with a drawing (from scratch), so I forced myself lol.

I did the drawing and some texturing in CSP, and the typography, effects and additional texturing in PS. I also used some very old brushes that were a huge fav of mine when I was younger! (If you recognize them, I love you lol)

While this was fun, it is always a struggle to get me to make designs from original drawings. Give me an already made illustration/trace, screencap, or hell, a picture of a pickle; and I can work with it. But a drawing I made from scratch? oof.

Mmmm I feel kinda iffy sharing stuff like this online, because it's nothing amazing or wow. It's pretty simple; both in style and execution. But it's something I had a lot of fun making, and definitely want to make more in the future.
