Oregon Travel Posters
A collection of posters used as visual documentation for the places and experiences on first arriving in Oregon. It was important to capture the adventures of new sights, sounds, and people that make Oregon so unique and special. These posters were created in Photoshop using personal photos shot while traveling in the city and nature. Creating a layout that was simple to understand and visually easy to digest made the process versatile and great for expressing different scenes. Feeling so inspired by the state of Oregon, these could have easily inspired someone else flipping through magazines of the Pacific Northwest.
Cult Classic Movie Posters
Growing up with movies constantly on in the background of my daily life, I find myself quite obsessed with movie quotes and iconic imagery that make these movies stand the test of time.
I created this project to push myself out of my comfort zone in Photoshop. For the longest time, I had been dying to learn how to incorporate more textures and vintage effects into my work and this was the project I finally figured it out! I had admired other designer's work with halftones, overlays, and custom types but never found that nugget of knowledge in school or in my many Youtube searches. I finally took an online class that taught me the exact skills and tips I would need to make my own custom textures and create the work I had been longing to make. I obviously couldn't stop once I started, so it fleshed itself out into a collection of Halloween movie posters along with a few others I had been inspired by.
Screen Printing
Certain qualities of print have always caught my eye and made me stop to appreciate the texture of a handprinted object. I have always loved drawing simple illustrations of everyday objects and once I became familiar with the process of screen printing, there was no stopping me from exploring its world. Screen printing will always be my first love of art because it is a wonderful, mass-produced art form making it accessible to every person. It has shaped me in my approach to designing and opened my mind to endless possibilities, with a minimal color palette. Screen printing will always have a certain place in my heart for the effort that goes into every single print.
