The primary objective of the flyer was to effectively communicate the product's health benefits, particularly its role in enhancing training at the gym.In pursuit of a visual language that resonated with the wellness sector, I chose the color purple—a soothing and invigorating shade often associated with healthcare. This deliberate color selection aimed to establish a meaningful connection between the health advantages of the Extra Gravity Weights and the individual using them. The flyer was created in Photoshop.
UV-Tizer Postcard
During my internship at Hudson Innovative, I was assigned the project of designing a promotional postcard for the UV-Tizer sanitizing wand, capitalizing on the festive holiday season while offering customers an exclusive discount.To capture the essence of the Christmas holiday, I incorporated decorative elements and added red and green as secondary colors. While infusing the postcard with a touch of the holiday spirit, I maintained consistency by predominantly using the brand's signature blue color. The postcard was crafted using Photoshop.

Greatest Boxers of All Time Calendar
In my design class in NJIT, we were tasked with creating a calendar for the year 2020. I aimed to infuse a boxing theme, showcasing a renowned boxer each month. Every calendar page features a fighter, their statistics, and a notable quote. I aimed to make each month's color scheme vibrant, utilizing different shades of the same color. Additionally, I opted for bold typography to convey the boxers' strength. Desk calendar created in Adobe InDesign.
"Push" Branding
This is a created concept for a fitness brand. My assignment entailed the development of a distinctive logo for "Push," a dynamic gym. The design directive emphasized the integration of a stylized emblem within the brand name, encapsulating a rugged aesthetic. Moreover, the request included visualizing the logo across various mediums, such as apparel, shirts, and bags, thus necessitating mockup exploration.By staying true to the intended guiding principles and values, I opted for a commanding color scheme featuring a blend of black and red. This combination was chosen to evoke vitality and determination. I employed a grunge-inspired visual treatment to amplify the concept’s vigor, conveying a sense of robustness.To complement the visual elements, I deliberately selected the Impact font, amplifying the emotive power and intensity of the logo. The entirety of this distinctive Push logo was created using Adobe Illustrator, ensuring its scalability.
"Serenity Spa Haven" Branding Logo
This is a created concept for a luxury spa. Serenity Spa Haven, a sanctuary of rejuvenation and luxury, sought a logo embodying their brand’s essence - elegance and opulence. The task was to craft a visual identity that featured a stylized lotus in a regal gold hue, accompanied by a clean and refined typography.After a few drafts, the stylized lotus design emerged. The logo is simplified and utilizes negative space to separate the petals and the core. The core contains a lustrous allure of gold, while the petals are draped in a regal shade of violet. The Adrianne script font also adds sophistication to the logo. This combination captures the essence of elegance and sophistication that Serenity Spa Haven represents.In addition, an alternative color scheme was devised, where the logo takes on a pure gold hue, further reinforcing the brand's commitment to opulence and refinement.
