Yes I'm A Designer provides online courses on Adobe Applications to over 200,000 students worldwide from independent students, corporates to universities and other Institutions. They were looking for a design that represents the idea of creativity and what it means to be a creative person. The look and feel of the design needed to be fun, joyous, bright and quirky. I chose to work around the quote 'Spark Your Creativity', and created a hand lettered piece for it. In addition to the hand lettering, I also added an illustration to emphasize message.

This was a very fun project to work on! Playing with Latin American style of typography and illustration in order to create a tight composition which can be used in multiple ways. The writhing of the words 'Bienvenidos' defined the way the composition was going to be structured. Also the brand had established color palette which was a great asset in tying it all together

Festive designs for Hanukkah

I was tasked with creating festive designs for Hanukkah based on provided phrases and color palettes. The process was a fascinating journey of trying out different concepts and experimenting with various styles to figure out which combinations of style and message are the most interesting ones. My personal goal in this project was making sure that all 5 designs are unique and interesting artworks in themselves while fitting into the overall logic of the collection.

Lettering illustration with the title 'Featured Designer Collection'

Featured Designer Collection

Even though developing a collection of unique designs seemed to be a quite a challenge, prior experience of having worked with the client had given me enough confidence to take on this opportunity. The major challenge within the project was focusing on one specific style for a single design and resisting a temptation to put too many ideas into one piece. Furthermore, I really wanted the styles to be complementary to the phrase, creating additional layers of meaning and enhancing the composition both visually and semantically. As a result of this fascinating endeavour, not only did I get the opportunity to work with a great client once again, but I also got to practice the styles that I like, try out new ones and polish my skills. I usually like view each projects as an opportunity to learn something new and find areas in my skillset that I can improve upon, and this project has allowed me to do that for a variety of techniques and styles.

Illustrated "HELLO" in my language for designs TikTok debut

'Прывiтанне' in Belarusian I've chosen the style of traditional belarusian paper cutting craft - vycinanka (выцiнанка). It's similar in technique to Mexican 'papel picado', and is also very common to the eastern-european region (Belarus, Ukraine and Poland). So for this design I've used the motives that are typical for particularly belarusian Vycinanka.
