Ever since I was a child, I have always been drawn to bright colors. Pops of color are revealed in almost all of my paintings, photographs and designs. In my designs I also love to experiment with different typography, whether it's bold and sophisticated or unique and handwritten. The combination of art and advertisement has always fascinated me. Graphic design allows me to combine the colors I find in nature or in my paintings and apply them to a sophisticated design. I often prefer to use bold colors and graphics, while keeping the design layout relatively simple and organized. I always enjoy creating designs for CD covers or magazine spreads because I get to piece together the different elements – color, texture, type, etc. – to create an appealing and cohesive design.
