Art Nouveau x Frutiger Aero (Oct 2024, Personal)

A clock/celestial themed piece combining two of my favorite design styles.

Solinus Rebrand (Sept 2024, Personal)

Decided to make a more classical take on my branding with an early 20th century (art nouveau) inspiration.

Azumanga あ! wallpapers (Jul 2024, Personal)

Made this just for fun

Vertical: Red | Yellow | Green | Blue

New Tab dashboard mockup (Jul 2024, Personal)

If I were able to make my own New Tab...

Dark Aero/Vista wallpaper (Jun 2024, Personal Experimental)

Based on this tutorial. May experiment further (different colors, wider ribbons...)

"Borrowed Time" game map (Jun 2024, Client)

Made for Twitter user @cdplayerptx, this map UI was made to fit within the game's pre-existing styling. The game "Borrowed Time" lets you clone yourself and control any one of your clones

The purple outline on the pins indicates the clone that is currently being controlled, whie the colored triangle within indicates health.

me rn (May 2024, Personal)

Animated Frutiger Aero hello world, HTML/CSS (Apr-May 2024, Schoolwork)

When the computer science teacher said that the projects that I can do have to be some level of complexity and didn't want a simple "hello world", I thought, "what about a complex one"? Suprisingly he liked the final product.

Figma Mockup of HTML/CSS Photo gallery project for Computer Science 3 (Apr 2024, Schoolwork)

The figma mockup that I made to create a responsive, dynamic photo galley in HTML and CSS.

Sossego (Mar 2024, Client)

The 2nd paid client project I got around to doing, for a small fashion "brand".

Inspired by this Reddit post, I decided to make an improved, more polished version with less clutter and more accuracy.

elemental time (Feb 2024, Personal)

First project of 2024. Inspired by this clock
earth | water | air | fire

2023

Custom Glossy Mastodon icon (Dec 2023, Client)

This is the first project that I recieved payment on. It's not much, but i did make money from it.

Lemmy Solarpunk Aesthetics banner + icon (Nov 2023, Client)

For this project, I decided to incorporate screws to represent "right to repair" and technology along with Art Nouveau to represent nature. I also illustrated the wind turbines and the solar panels, and I drew the accents for the center. Everything but the photos and fonts are originally drawn. I am proud overall, but the center accents have room for improvement. See banner and icon used in Lemmy (decentralized platform similar to Reddit)

3 Redesigns (Oct 2023, Personal)

I found 3 poorly designed things and decided to redesign them to see how they would look if I were to design them.

More Ben Thanh Plaza variants | Originals

Water Drops (Oct 2023, Personal Experimental)

Based on Wes Modes' "Anatomy of a Water Drop" (which inspired Apple's Mac OS X Aqua theme), I created colored water drops, and the water drops themselves (not the background) uses blending modes to make the highlights and shadows appear properly under different backgrounds.

Quit Arguing On The Internet meme (June 2023, Personal)

NOTE: Thumbnail links to video

A 1980s styled PSA that all Internet users need to see (especially teenagers). VHS effect done via NTSCqt.

Clean ver.

Kia Orb (June 2023, Personal)

A little orb redesign of the KIA logo. I also added some slight spacing to make it more readable.

Saffron Menu (May 2023, Schoolwork)

At school, I had to do a group project to make a mock-up restaurant representing a culture. In this case it was Korean-Iranian, and I decided to work on the menus. I had to work with an unfamilliar art style (since I mostly worked on skeuomorphism and the like), and it ended up getting a 100.

Cafe Menu

"Traditional Thursdays" Menu

Six Glass Panes (Apr 2023, Personal)

Done as a way to experiment with glass and the various ways to style it. Inspired by this post on Neocities.

City background variant

Figma file

Big Red Button (Mar 2023, Personal)

This was created for a server design contest to design a Big Red Button.

Interactive Mockup

1980s inspired Video Player (Feb 2023, Personal)

I actually had this idea for a while (since around late spring 2022), but finally got around to finishing it during early 2023. It utilizes a familiar slide cover to access video options.

Interactive Mockup

SuperFly Media Player (Feb 2023, Personal)

My design meant to resemble a cheap Chinese made media player from thet late 2000s-early 2010s

asylumOS Branding (Feb 2023, Client)

My branding for an OS that was supposed to be similar to ChromeOS.

(Jan 2023, Personal)

2022

Frutiger Aero X Solarpunk (Dec 2022, Personal)

This is my idea of what the ideal desktop for me would be, which is based on lush greenery and a cozy feel. As you can see, I had styled my website around this.

Frutiger-Aero.neocities.org (Dec 2022, Personal)

When I worked on a short series of tutorials for the Frutiger Aero aesthetic, Kantraa thought of turning it into a working website. It was then introduced to a discord server related to Frutiger Aero and gathered positive feedback. This was one of my first ever truly mobile friendly sites, as it had a hamburger menu instead of a scrollable navbar.

Neodynium poster (Oct 2022, Schoolwork)

Done as a Chemistry assignment to present certain elements to a mock company for their proerties and usefulness.

FetchCord (Jun 2022, Client)

When I worked on Fetchcord’s site revamp(s), I initially designed the site without mobile users with mind. This did work, but eventually I went back and improved it for mobile usage, and it wasn’t as difficult as I expected.

Archived Site

Youtube and Discord redesigns (May 2022, Personal)

What I imagine Youtube and Discord to look like if Skeuomorphism became popular again (I'd imagine it being a mix of modern and classic). These were actually figma redesigns of even older pixlr designs. (see these and other old designs)

Frutiger Aero buttons (Feb 2022, Personal)

These were probably one of the first times I experimented with blending modes and complex shading. Based on this tutorial

Updated version

Late 2021

Music Player (Dec 2021, Personal)

This Frutiger Aero music player concept was based on an idea I had that was laying around my head for a while.

Eclipse (Mar 2021-ongoing, Client)

This was one of my earliest clients when I was still using Pixlr, and the first design was the logo (seen at top-right of screenshot). Later on, I re-drew the logo and branding on Figma, and created a few other designs and improvements, such as the glass effects seen on the site body.
