Graphic Design Experimentation
This collection showcases a series of personal graphic design projects. These experimental pieces explore the art of designing for current events while blending digital applications with traditional media. Each project serves as an opportunity to refine my design skills and stay creatively sharp. All pieces were created using Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
Older aesthetics like Y2k and Frutiger Aureo have hit the nostalgia cycle in design and become trendy. But their popularity is not just a trend; it is also a resentment towards the overly minimal, boring, and lazy flat design corporations have been producing worldwide. To celebrate and push back against flat design I’ve explored learning what makes these areas so special by creating my own pieces.

Book Cover Redesign - American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
I redesigned Herman Melville's Bartleby the Scrivener to offer a fresh and visually engaging interpretation of the classic story. To achieve this, I incorporated real shredded paper into the design by digitizing and scanning it. This element not only symbolizes the constant presence of papers in Bartleby's life but also introduces a more analog approach to the design.
