ABOUT SOFTWARE

PROFICIENT IN:

I am very self-motivated, I aim to be a reliable asset to the team and strive to give my best. I am always looking for new unique opportunities that help further my career and hone my skills as a Graphic Designer by working with professionals in the creative industry. I was into Art and creativity for as long as I can remember. I always enjoyed drawing and scribbling whatever came to mind. In Graphic Design, creativity is used as a problem-solving tool, which I find very rewarding. Although primarily its a question of meeting the clients’ demands, as a Graphic Designer, I look for inspiration from various media. Ideas come in different forms and in the most unusual of places, which makes the creative industry even more interesting.

This is a typogrphic exercise were I literary text is chosen - in this case, a poem, and is reinterpreted visually by the use of typography.

Text interpretation through typography.

ABOUT

This was a typographic exercise where the meaning of the words and/or phrases could be understood through its typographic style. In addition, typographic experimentation, such as juxtaposition of font weights, experimenting with font sizes where explored in this exercise.

The piece I was to interpret was written by Kandinsky and it was about Moscow during the early years of Communism. I chose the Perpetua typeface to interpret this literature piece. The whole project is gathered in a font book.

Two posters inspired by the literary text.

Left: The phrase: ‘Pink. Lilac’ Yellow. White. Blue. Green. traces the perimeter of the Volga River, where numerous Russian soldiers lost there lives during WWII. The colours signify the individuality, yet the black and red colour scheme shows how the individuality was stripped from the troops as they where sent to war.

Right: Similarly to the other poster, the same phrase is used in the fill in the shape of the word ‘Красный’ , the Russian word for ‘Red’. Red was the colour used by the Communist regime.
