Applied Arts Magazine, a Canadian Visual Magazine provided design students across Canada an opportunity to increased student involvement in the magazine by hosting a Editorial Design Contest.
My concept revolved around the idea of the celebration with fireworks as with the many beautiful visual art featured in the magazine. Although shortly featured, it creates lasting inspiration for the readers who read it. The pacing of the fireworks in my design were made to be a show from...
Cushy Creatives is proposed design firm whose mandate is to create a pleasant and comfortable experience for their clients. The goal for the custom logotype was to add as much "CUSH" as possible.

During the school break, I wrote down some design-related thoughts or things that inspired me each day.

The group project was to create a space with cardboard that evokes a certain emotion and can also be flat-packed for transport. Our group focused on the confusion and optical illusions. Exploring origami and packaging techniques, we filled the space with 3D pop-up optical illusions.
