    uniE621 Brand Identity
    This project focuses on the creation of my personal brand identity as a graphic designer. I wanted to establish a strong, professional, and memorable visual presence that reflects both my creative style and design philosophy. The brand identity consists of a custom logo, color palette, typography system, and a range of applications including business cards, posters, and promotional materials.

Typography plays a key role in the identity, using strong typographic contrasts and playful arrangements to express my design approach—striking a balance between professionalism and creativity. The logo mark and wordmark were developed to be versatile, adaptable to both digital and print formats. This project not only helped me craft a unique and recognizable identity but also allowed me to showcase how I translate my personal values and design sensibilities into a cohesive visual system.…
    uniE621 Gradient Work (Adobe Illustrator)
    For this project, I explored gradient-based vector illustration in Adobe Illustrator to create a modern cityscape. My goal was to experiment with color blending and depth while maintaining a clean geometric style. The gradient transitions of purple and pink shades give the skyline a futuristic yet calm atmosphere, adding dimension to otherwise flat vector forms. Each building is designed with distinct silhouettes, using gradients to highlight contrast and balance within the composition. The soft gradient sky complements the structured architecture, creating harmony between natural and urban elements. This piece reflects my ability to combine precision in vector work with expressive color techniques, showcasing both technical skill and creative vision. It’s a strong addition to my portfolio as it demonstrates how I can use gradients not just for decoration but as a design tool to bring mood, depth, and storytelling into a composition.…

By using tranquil imagery and balanced composition, the piece symbolises a safe and welcoming environment—echoing the organisation’s vision of empowering Muslim women to live their lives with confidence and happiness. This project highlights my ability to combine artistic expression with social impact, ensuring that visual storytelling contributes meaningfully to community empowerment and representation.…
