You Are Invited...

 

My painting professor (and one of the three most influential men in my life) organizes an art exhibition every year for his pupils to have the opportunity to showcase their work in a gallery. It is called "Painting in the Gardens" based on the theme of the Summer class where the artwork is produced. I was chosen to design the invitation and I'm very proud of the design!

I used one of my paintings for the background, applied several effects to it and then used a vector baroque motif to finish the composition. The typography is simple and elegant and the colors I believe fit the mood of the event.

I want to thank my husband for always giving me constructive criticism and helping me achieve this look.

If you are in the area don't hesitate to pass by. The opening night is always great!

Take Back the Night

Relationship violence and sexual assault are huge problems in our society (Please note both women and men are victims of these crimes). Besides painting, graphic design, and animals, bringing awareness to these issues is one of my passions in life.

I was asked by the Women's Center at Florida International University to design the flyer for their upcoming event "Take Back the Night." A movement that started in Brussels, Belgium and has spread all over the world, especially college campuses. Both women and men walk to "reclaim the night" when some of these horrific crimes occur.

I am really pleased with the typography on this one. I also designed the one for last year's but back then they were going for a more "diverse," gender-inclusive idea.
