    uniE621 Spot Illustrations for the summer
    A group of spot illustrations, the first 3 being for a social media personal project, and the last 2 being an honorable commission for a beautiful wedding. Both were created during the summer but required different tones, one being fun and eye-catching for a specific demographic and the other being more intimate and close-knit for families and friends. illustrator graphicdesigner…

    uniE621 It's No Big Deal the sex ed magazine
    “It’s No Big Deal” is a hypothetical magazine that covers sex and anything related to sex (genital health, consent, etc.). I chose the name “It’s No Big Deal” because sex is truly no big deal. It’s a natural part of life; sex is one of the biggest ways to connect to someone, even if for one night. I want to show that these things (sex, self-pleasure, genital health, etc.) don’t have to be a big deal. It’s all about connection and having a pleasurable experience. It doesn’t have to be some perfect moment like in a film or book; it just has to be enjoyable and safe for you and your partner (s). graphicdesigner designer illustrator…
