my current portfolio



a portfolio website designed to be very interactive and fun. i wanted everything to feel organic, which captures the style of some of my work. 
a poster on the theme of "rhythm," which led me to another thing...


cover.
back.

inside panels.
194 recordings presents "from the highs to the lows" cd packaging design. a friend who started a student-run record label at NYU approached me to design the cd for their first release. i showed her a previous piece that i created on the topic of music and rhythm, which she loved and asked if that could be the cd cover. everything else came from there...



i sketch a lot when i'm bored, which is mostly done when i'm at work. i took some of those sketches and applied them to my collages...




three pages from a book compiled of work done in communication design class. these collages were based on the idea that inspiration comes from everywhere.  the created settings are surreal, which can be a real place or in one's mind, which is how inspiration works. 

one of my favorite pieces. a psychedelic-inspired poster with an emphasis on typography. the topic was relevant in that Darfur's situation is today's 1960's or 1970's tragedies. 




the layouts consist of given images and type(captions, headlines, bylines, etc.) the placement of photos, cropping and addition of graphics were the techniques i used to creatively make the layouts more interesting and to add an element of surprise. 




this series is a combination of two artist's work, Adreas Gursky and Uta Barth. the project was to create a portfolio for two chosen artists. my decision on the two artist was based on their style, one photographer being sharp and complex, while the other photographer captures a facade that is blurred.  





these are a series of patterns on the topic of "past, present and future." the project was to create three layouts based on the given topic and i chose to create patterns using letter forms. 
top to bottom: past, present and future.

gosh!! anyway, yea your hand drawn work def. has a organic quality thats great. The challenge is placing hand drawn work vs. photography. Thats something you should explore. ps. i didn't choose those tee colors. Thats what american apparel wants me to do and some crazy horse woman.

i really like the organic/delicate quality of your hand drawn sketches..although the hand drawn type and imagery needs to be refined more. i especially like the "past, present and future." patterns because although they're computer rendered it resembles your hand drawn style.

really like the trippy hand drawn lines, they convey the rythm of the music nicely

Nice using black-white color and positive-negative space especially the last one. I like it.
