Adobe Photoshop - Image Editing
My first hands-on branding project by using Adobe Photoshop! Started with the given elements and instructions, I applied techniques learned through classes, including layer masks (brush refine, color balance, gradient and blending), AI generated images, AI fill (for variant canvas sizes). Certainly feeling achieved and proud of my first real-life creative workflow!

Thought to frame their words for me for this year's mother's day❤️
Graphic Design - Typographic Poster
Typographic poster isn’t easy for all these tiny letters and the principles of typesetting to be dealt with. I’m thinking a robot may describe characters of “Franklin Gothic” for it’s heavy weight, condensed proportions, and minimal contrast between strokes.
Graphic Design - Contrasts
Contrast combination of doubles and triples of below arrangement just by simple shapes:
scale
weight
direction
space
form
texture
Graphic Design - Complimentary & Contrast
It’s like an experiment playing with sorts of graphic forms. I’m making graphic design by building blocks to best learn graphic design.
Graphic Design - The Character of Characters
The character of characters - Typeset the name of an object (e.g. "apple", "shoe", or "glasses" etc.) in a typeface that relates to (or represents) each of the adjectives (e.g. “plump”, “old”, “vintage” etc).
The top strokes looks like the stems where you grab the bananas and there are a bunch of them. Just an objective text name in different forms creates imagination and possibilities!?
Graphic Design - Monogram & Business Card
Create a design of interlocking typographic forms by using different typefaces, and look at the range of shapes that occur within the same letters.
This is a fun practice and I realized how much fun just texts can produce. Designing business card by inserting the art of name initials (monograms) is definitely eye catching.
Graphic Design - Connotative Image Making
And then some optional challenges - three connotative image makings which tell stories.
Graphic Design - Denotative Image Making
My first Graphic Design assignment is Done! My ten denotative image makings of different techniques. Finally I decided to take the advantage of limited offer $199/yr signing up Google’s Couresera and enrolled my first designer course in a hope to prepare myself for my next dream career.
