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 noticed a poorly designed Halloween decoration bottle label while shopping, so I decided to redesign it in a much more accurate method (and without blurry decorations)

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.

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.

I actualy 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

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.

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.
