My Journey

Graphic Design
Introduced to this field early on as a teenager in grade 10 during a career day and never looked back since. I went on to study a Multimedia degree and worked as a Part time graphic designer while still studying at Gold star projects. After obtaining my degree, I moved on to Exonica as a graphic designer and Later to Labournet...

Web development
I was first exposed to coding and development during my final year in veracity when we had a web design module. I learned basic coding skills during that time. I was then exposed to wordpress while working at Exonica where I sat with the web developer at the time out of curiosity to see what he does and how he does it. Whe the owners realised my eagerness to learn I was then tasked with doing some website styling, edits and maintenance. Fast forward to my time at LabourNet, I also was tasked with doing WordPress work on the LabourNet as well as PSIber website (PSIber is the Sofware devision of LaourNet). Currently I am at Right Click media where I am a web developer who works closely with UI/UX designers to create website for different clients on WordPress.

Graphic design

Brief

The client was a newly established luxury wellness center located in a bustling urban area. They aim to create a logo that captures the essence of relaxation, rejuvenation, and exclusivity, appealing primarily to affluent professionals aged 25-45 who prioritize self-care and wellness.

Solution

Hot stones are commonly used in spa therapies to promote relaxation and alleviate muscle tension. They symbolize warmth, comfort, and therapeutic benefits. A leaf symbolizes growth, rejuvenation, and the natural environment. It represents the spa’s focus on holistic wellness and connection with nature. The blue colour was used to evoke nature and tranquility and the pop of pink is meant to reflect reflect warmth and relaxation.

Brief

The client asked for a logo that should convey a sense of craftsmanship, creativity, and joy. It should reflect our commitment to using high-quality ingredients and delivering cakes that not only look beautiful but also taste delicious.

Solution

It features a stylised cake tier adorned with delicate icing details, subtly reminiscent of a wedding cake. The tiers are designed to evoke a sense of elegance and artistry, reflecting the bespoke nature of our cakes. The dripping icing represents the delicious taste that makes you drool and creatively forms part of the letter “i” that is part of the businesses name. 

Brief

For the two billboard designs the brief was to create a billboard designs that effectively communicates brand messages to drivers and pedestrians passing by a high-traffic area. The goal was to capture attention quickly and convey our key message clearly within seconds. 

Solution

For the design I went for a a sans-serif geometric typeface that aligns with the brand’s identity and the message they wanted to convey. Geometric fonts create clean lines and modern aesthetic, which can enhance readability and visual appeal on a billboard. I also Establish a clear hierarchy by varying font sizes and weights to emphasize key words and phrases within the headline. Lastly I use high-contrast colours for the text and background to ensure readability from a distance.

Brief

The client here started a new nails and beauty business named a Beauticious by MW. She said her target audience includes individuals who prioritize self-care and are willing to invest in quality beauty treatments. They are predominantly women of all ages, professionals, and fashion-conscious individuals seeking both relaxation and aesthetic enhancement. She needed an entire Corporate Identity for her business.

Solution

The CI for this business revolves around the concept of elegance, confidence, and a sense of fluidity. The logo features a stylized B that is incorporated in a ladies side profile and hair.  Typography: We Chose a modern and elegant serif font for the business name. The typography is refined yet approachable, conveying professionalism and a sense of style. Color Palette: We utilised a sophisticated and calming color palette that includes shades of pink, pastel green and grey. These colors evoke a sense of luxury, femininity, and relaxation, appealing to their predominantly female clientele. Visual Style: Incorporates clean lines and minimalist design elements to maintain a sense of sophistication and clarity. The logo’s design should flows seamlessly, reflecting the smooth and precise nature of their nail and beauty services.

Design Problem

I needed to create a magazine editorial and fit all of the content onto one page.

Solution

The layout utilises a 3-column grid with generous whitespace, allowing each feature to breathe. Serif fonts are used for body text, providing a classic feel, while sans-serif headline in In a bold Italic size create visual interest. The image images builds a structure and focal point.  The color palette of contrasting colours makes it easy on the eye and declutters the already content full page.
