"Libraries Are For Eveyone."
This is a summission I did for SJSU Luther King library T-Shirt Design Contest, with the theme of inclusitivity. I believe that a good design has to be effective, clear and simple enough for viewers to understand the meaning behind its visual message, therefore I keep my design abstract but still understandable without the need of referencing actual humans with gender or race.
2.
Here in my design, I use a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to represent different characters. Every character regardless of the differences has the opportunity to share the book and enjoy the moment together. That joyful moment will not only spark the positive energy in each individual but also strengthen and encourage the community that they are in.
3.
With the universal understanding in visual language, viewers are able to interpret my design openly. Each character can be interpreted as a person, so while viewers look at my design, they can relate, feel empathized, and can imagine themselves being one of the characters that they feel resonate with.

HOPE WORLD – ALBUM COVER
For my Art74 final project, I recreated Hope World album cover, with a goal of achieving a professional realistic-looking commercial work using Adobe Photoshop. Since Hope World is a debut mixtape of South Korean rapper J-Hope, I aimed for fonts and images that would represent the Hip-hop aesthetic, such as graffiti, paint strokes, and grainy texture.

I made several versions and did a lot of experiments on different typefaces, sizes, compositions as well as color schemes before I settled with the best one.

DIGITAL SELF-PORTRAIT COLLAGE
To describe my transformation of becoming a digital media artist, I created this series of collage which has both traditional and digital elements in each piece. I edited my pencil illustrations on Photoshop using masking, pen tools, brush tool and color correction. I also overlayed them with some photos of the sky that I took. I chose those photos because I am a sky enthusiast who simply appreciates, loves taking and collecting the beauty of the sky.

There is always something about the sky that make me feel very calm, peaceful and connected just by looking at it. With all of these elements combined, I hope to create artworks that could represent a part of my personality.

SAUL BASS POSTER
This is the final project that I did in class at De Anza. I used Adobe Illustrator for this whole poster piece. It took quite a bit of time to illustrate Saul Bass portrait as I tried to capture as realistic as possible. I also did research and studied his art style to add on the elements that could represent him best. Specifically, I use his graphic for the book cover that he made – "The Man with the Golden Arm" – to emphasize his signature.
