Here's the version with a closing thought added:
I had the privilege of working for a client on a graphic poster design for their event. The brief was straightforward on the surface keep it simple — they wanted a design that wouldn't just get a glance, but would make people pause and take it in a little longer than usual.
Throughout the process, I was focused solely on intentionality, from composition to typography to the placement of event information, so the client had a clear and accurate idea of what the final design should look like well before completion. Whilst in my creative process the goal was to strike a balance between simplicity and visual depth — nothing overdesigned, but nothing forgettable either.
The result well a piece that strikes a balance whilst communicating clearly at a glance while still rewarding a second look, which is exactly what the client set out to achieve.
Let me know what you think, and how you feel about this piece.

For this concept, I wanted the announcement to feel like an adventure rather than an ordinary event flyer.
The bus became the hero literally taking the viewer somewhere while the surreal environment, oversized typography, dramatic lighting, and layered elements helped build the idea of a journey.
REVIVAL was the heart of the concept, so I didn’t want to change the direction.
I simply focused on strengthening the typography, hierarchy, and overall impact.
The goal was simple: make “JOIN THE BUS” impossible to ignore without changing the message being passed across.
Because apparently, sometimes the best way to promote a conference is to throw a yellow bus into another dimension. 😂

Birthday Feature
A birthday design, but make it feel like a front-page feature.
For this one, I leaned heavily into editorial composition, visual storytelling, and controlled chaos. The background tells the story, while the portrait becomes the focal point, with the bold red treatment giving the whole piece that celebratory punch.
I wanted it to feel less like a typical birthday flyer and more like “this man has a whole newspaper dedicated to him.” 😂
Typography, texture, layering, and a little visual madness doing what they do best.
Designed to celebrate. Designed to be noticed.

Ventured into image manipulation, combining multiple assets to craft a cohesive, cinematic world through visual storytelling. First image: my color grade. Second image: the original. Which one are you going for? 👀
