Year
2023

Objective
These personal projects were created purely for fun and creative experimentation. They allowed me to explore new illustration styles, refine my skills in digital artistry, and contribute to the aesthetic branding of my graphic design Instagram. Both designs embrace a whimsical and spooky theme, showcasing my love for bold visuals and playful narratives.

Concept & Inspiration
The inspiration for these projects stems from a fascination with vintage Halloween aesthetics and mystical motifs. "I Put a Spell on You" features a vibrant crystal ball paired with eerie, claw-like hands, while "Ghostly Graveyard" highlights a playful take on a ghost hovering among gravestones. Both designs balance creepiness with charm, embodying the fun spirit of Halloween with a retro-modern twist.

Design Elements

  • Color Palette: A mix of deep purples, blues, and neon tones to evoke mystery and nostalgia.

  • Typography: Gothic-inspired lettering for "I Put a Spell on You," adding an otherworldly touch.

  • Imagery: Custom illustrations of a glowing crystal ball and a playful ghost framed with dynamic flame-like borders to enhance the mood.

Execution
Using Procreate and Adobe Photoshop, I crafted these pieces with a focus on layering and texture. The flame-like border effect was designed to draw the viewer’s eye inward, emphasizing the central elements. Shadows and highlights were carefully applied to create depth and amplify the glowing effect of the illustrations.

Conclusion
These personal projects served as a creative outlet and a way to push my artistic boundaries. They encapsulate my passion for storytelling through visuals and my ability to adapt to thematic concepts while maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Sharing these designs on my graphic design Instagram allowed me to connect with a broader audience, reinforcing my personal brand as a designer who values fun, experimentation, and creativity.
