I designed a business card for my client. His requests were that there be keyboard or piano somewhere on the card since he is a pianist. I designed the piano in Adobe Illustrator.

I was asked to create a wedding logo for the bride and groom as well as any materials or signs that would be used at/during the wedding.

CITY SUNSET

This is my first time using Adobe Animate. I've always wanted to learn the software and decided to do a mini project on it. I created a sunset animation and practiced with frames, creating layers, adjusting the timeline, FPS, and familiarized myself with the basic tools. I was nervous Adobe Animate was going to be too complicated, but it was actually a lot of fun to work with.

ADOBE ANIMATE

To strengthen my skills in Adobe Creative Cloud, I decided to work on a project in Adobe Animate. Most of my professional and personal projects I work with Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, XD, etc. Adobe Animate was the only tool I had not yet used. I am becoming more skilled in Adobe Animate and I’m surprised at how easy and fun the tool is.

Spline is a 3D design tool I am learning to gain experience in interactive 3D designs. Using the tool, I created a 3D toggle that moves and changes color. I am hoping to add more projects using spline, for example websites and mobile interactions.
