Projects

Album cover design

Cover design for the album 'Hide in the Shadows of the Quiet'. The inspiration comes from the musician's upbringing, and its distinctive cultural characteristics, as well as his musical influences (i.e. jazz, rock, fado). I chose to represent these elements by overlapping layers of texture and color, while adding impact with the bold lines/shape. The result is hopefully a visual representation of the intricately sophisticated, and rich sound. //Art Direction + Graphic DesignSee More

White Papers

I utilized the brand's colorful waves as visual anchors and framing elements, thus providing energy and dynamics to an otherwise copy-heavy document. //Art Direction + DesignSee More

Identity Design/Logo+Stationery

The logo mark is inspired by the process of bringing pencil to paper, highlighting the drawing process, while at the same time, creating a monogram. The stationery relies on the use of dynamic lines and active white space, as it utilizes an interchangeable color scheme based on construction materials, and an adaptable logo. //Art Direction + DesignSee More

Social Media

The posts for social media utilize the brand's dynamic waves and vibrant color story as a way to frame the messaging in an orderly, and yet impactful manner. //Art Direction + DesignSee More

Brand Guidelines

Development of an updated visual brand, alongside with the creation of a guidelines document.

In-Book Printed Ads

In-book full page ads. The ads are part of separate campaigns highlighting the digital offerings of the print travel publication. In order to garner attention, the creative conveys the discovery aspect of travel and its possibilities. //Art Direction + DesignSee More
