Restaurant Creation
GC 1020 - 2023
For my final project of the semester, I combined my skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign to create a cohesive branding package for a restaurant. I drew inspiration from a restaurant I worked at, I designed a logo, menu, and business cards that showcased a unified theme. This project allowed me to experience the entire design process from initial concept development to the final polished piece.


Movie Poster
GC 1050 - 2023
That Nightmare Before Clemson re-imagines the familiar landmark of Tillman Hall as a scene of eerie suspense and drama. Inspired by classic horror aesthetics, this poster captures the historic building in the dawn’s early light, surrounded by dark, foreboding skies streaked with lightning. Flames engulf the building, illuminating the ominous surroundings, while charred trees stand as silent witnesses to the chaos, their silhouettes adding to the haunting atmosphere.

Magazine Book
GC 1050 - 2023
I designed a magazine using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. Illustrator was used to create custom graphics and icons, while Photoshop handled photo editing and color correction. I brought everything together in InDesign, where I built out the full layout, including the cover, inside page, and back cover. The project showcases my skills in publication design, layout, and visual storytelling.

I created a flower-themed t-shirt design that combines bold colors with clean, modern illustration. Using Illustrator, I designed stylized floral elements and arranged them into a balanced composition. The design was made with screen printing in mind, focusing on strong lines and vibrant color contrast to stand out on fabric.

Coding
For my final coding project, I created NatureNook, a fully interactive website consisting of five pages, each with its respective HTML file, showcasing nature photography of exotic animals from various regions around the world. Designed to appeal to animal lovers, researchers, and travelers, the site features a responsive homepage, SEO optimization, and interactive elements to bring the client’s vision to life. Using Brackets as my coding editor, I implemented a single CSS stylesheet with advanced properties, including keyframe animations for dynamic visuals, flexbox for responsive layouts, and scaling hover effects to enhance user engagement. Below is a couple of images of the website.
