The Dragon Hour — An Archive-Inspired Streetwear Collection
The Dragon Hour is a contemporary streetwear collection inspired by the intricate linework, expressive compositions, and visual characteristics of historical Japanese woodblock prints. I have reinterpreted this archival aesthetic through modern oversized T-shirts, hoodies, outerwear, and accessories—incorporating bold color palettes, distressed print textures, and experimental fashion mockups.
At Recraft, I developed a cohesive visual direction that explores how traditional printmaking can inspire a fresh, underground streetwear identity. The collection blends historical artistic influences with contemporary silhouettes, striking color contrasts, and editorial-style product presentations.
The objective was to transform archival inspiration into a distinct, modern visual language tailored for a streetwear brand.#StreetwearDesign #JapaneseWoodblock #GraphicDesign

It’s been a minute since my last post here on Contra.
While my main focus usually lives in photo editing and digital design, I was digging through the archive recently and thought it’d be fun to share a couple of branding projects from the past:
Slide 1: Seart Visuals apparel & merchandise branding (1 year ago)
Slide 2: Choku Ladies Boutique identity and mockups (2 years ago)
Brand identity isn't my everyday lane, but tackling projects like these taught me a lot about visual consistency across different mediums. I’d love to hear your thoughts or see any feedback from fellow designers. Great to connect with the community again.
That's really great typography logo design❤️❤️

tiiny.host Landing Page
Description:
A clean, friendly landing page for tiiny.host, the easiest way to put a file online and share it with a link.
The goal was to make the product feel as simple as it actually is. The upload box sits right in the hero, so visitors can drag in a file and get a live link without scrolling or signing up first.
What I focused on:
1. Upload-first hero with a clear “Upload a File” action and file type tabs (Docs, Images, Code, Samples)
2. Hand-drawn illustrations and script accents to keep the tone light and approachable
3. Social proof up top: 500K+ users and logos like Salesforce, Nestlé, and Square
4. Soft sky gradient and plenty of breathing room so nothing feels technical or intimidating
The hand-drawn illustrations with the script accents are what make this landing page special, Dante. They keep a file-hosting tool feeling light and approachable instead of technical, which is exactly the tone the upload-first hero needed.
