Knives Out (Movie Poster)

Using my favorite mystery movies as inspiration, I set out to create a vibrant and visually stunning movie poster that featured prominent aspects from the movie. I used Photoshop's filter gallery to add noise, a halftone filter, and a torn edges filter to get the textured look on the whole piece. The layer was set to Darken, which allowed color to be added back in.

Athena

In college, I had an assignment that required me to make a low poly self portrait. I enjoyed it, but wanted to take it a step further and try another one. So, I took to Illustrator and created a low poly portrait of the Greek Goddess Athena. For an extra bit of visual interest, I added a red stroke around the whole piece and a layer of noise. 

I set out to create a redesign of the menu for Dog Haus, a restaurant that specializes in hot dogs, burgers, and sliders. I used the existing color palette to create a bold menu that displayed each item and their respective descriptions, as well as vibrant photos of the food for customers to see. 

Hired to create a digital pamphlet, I used InDesign to make a simplistic cover that still communicated that this was for adults with children. I used simple shapes to create dynamic headers and page numbers, without crowding and distracting from the text.
