Leisure

All work and no play, makes a dull designer!

Even though design is a huge part of my life, I try to take time enjoying other creative activities. Below you can view a few of my favourite works.

Quick Q&A (Leisure Edition!)

Q: Other than design, what another creative thing you like to do?
I like photography and try to use my Fujifilm X-T2 & DJI drone as much as possible.

Q: What mediums do you use when you're creating traditional art?
I like simple methods that turn out looking complex. Charcoal, shading markers, pens with different points sizes... I also love using multiple different things to create a unique image.

Summary:
The Infected Poster Series was created to battle the 'post pandemic' anxiety and the hyper fixation on contagion.

Summary:
The 'Story of the Pandemic' poster series was created for a Typography assignment where we had to follow reoccurring structure with ever changing visuals. This ensures the user that what they're viewing is part of a series or part of the same message/company.
