My idea of what if Bluesky had clouds for posts and a glossy, aero UI.

Based of my earlier 2022 design for a frutiger aero website, the Frutiger Aero Discord/Reddit team commissoned me to design their website. Coding by daniele, who also runs the Frutiger Aero Archive.

Experimenting with 6 MORE ways of making a glass texture via lighting and gradient effects. Comes in 2 backgrounds.

Unlike last time that I made a music player, I wanted to make a more 'complete' UI with 3 screens instead of just one.

Individual Album View | Visualizer

A friend showed me their custom app icons they made, and initially thought that I wouldn't be able to make custom icons for every single app on my phone. Uutil I decided to get it together and... here we are...

An informational graphic listing accounts to follow/view, as I will stop posting in Twitter on the 14th due to the Grok AI policy.

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

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

Made this just for fun

Horizontal: Red | Yellow | Green | Blue

Vertical: Red | Yellow | Green | Blue

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

Note: this was my first and last time using lunacy.

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

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.

made this when i was bored and tired. No further explanation.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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)

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

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.

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

Clean ver.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

A mock ad and CD that would be released if Figma was from the 1990s

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.

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.

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

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.

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)

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

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

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.
