    Born by Pressure – Logo Design

I explored typography and illustrated the logo mark to create a balanced visual identity that combines softness with a structured, expressive feel. graphicdesigner logo branding designer photo illustrator…

    Chaos (Kaos) – Typography Poster Design
    Created a typography poster titled “KAOS” (“CHAOS“), focusing on expressing the concept of chaos through type.

    Noise (Müra) – Typography Poster Design
    Created a typography poster titled “MÜRA“ (“NOISE”), visually interpreting the concept through the idea of sound coming out of a speaker/megaphone.

    Silence (Vaikus) – Typography Poster Design
    Created a typography poster titled “VAIKUS“ (“SILENCE”), where each sound wave represents the word “silence” itself. The waves gradually diminish in amplitude until they reach zero, visually expressing the disappearance of sound. As the motion fades completely, the composition resolves into silence, with the word “silence” placed subtly in the background. The design explores the relationship between repetition, sound, and absence through typographic and waveform-based structure.…

    Created a typography poster titled “LAI“ (“WIDE”), focusing on visually interpreting the meaning of the word through type.

    Procrastination – Visual Storytelling Poster
    Created a conceptual visual narrative poster exploring procrastination and avoidance of responsibilities. The composition depicts black clouds filled with tasks looming overhead while a pyjama-clad figure chooses to fall into bed instead of starting work. The design uses metaphor to communicate delay, overwhelm, and the tension between responsibility and escape. photo graphicdesigner illustrator designer…
    Fear of War – Visual Storytelling Poster
    Created a conceptual visual narrative poster exploring the fear of war. The composition depicts world leaders as looming caricatures above a scene where bombs fall toward a girl curled inside a protective bubble, symbolising vulnerability and psychological pressure.
