Stardust Utopia - Movie poster
My inspiration for this fictional project came from Mary Shelly's book, Frankenstein, and music producer Otetsu's song, titled "Stardust Utopia." The story centers around a woman who has fallen into deep despair after losing many people close to her. In order to heal her pain, she sets out to travel through the universe and collect stardust for her "scientific research." Should her experiments succeed, she would have in her hands an elixir for life and death.

Stardust Utopia - Book Cover
As the preliminary concept for this project, I mainly focused on the goal the heroine hopes to achieve in her absurd conquest. Despite her incomprehensible ideas, I portrayed the heroine in a more subdued state since I do see her as a tragic hero.

Stardust Utopia - Magazine Ad
Following a similar concept from the movie poster, this magazine ad was inspired by Michelangelo's painting, "The Creation of Adam." For this concept, I made the heroine appear as a type of goddess who has created the environment she has surrounded herself with. Rather than positioning her in the same spot as in Michelangelo's painting, I wanted the heroine to be grounded as a reminder that nothing she hopes to achieve will ever succeed.

Pink Illusions - Flash Website
My inspiration for this website comes from the way I conceptualize my work, which begins with an array of mental visualizations before sketching any of my thoughts on paper. To create the menu bar on the main page, I took a playful approach, as the text and the multiple background layers each rotate in different directions. Throughout the website, I used ample amounts of coding and animation. I achieved a mysterious vibe by using fractals and eerie fluttering butterflies!
Disenchanted Sanity - Flash Website
For this Flash website, I went for an airier design. As my second major project in Flash, I experimented with more advanced ActionScript. This helped me gain a better foundation in coding. The overall concept for this design was to utilize the underpinning components of some of my artworks, and use minimalistic design elements and layouts.
DRIVE@EARTH - Poster
DRIVE@EARTH was a piece that I created for a Computer Graphics 2 assignment. The project was around promoting a car by editing/enhancing photography, and creating hyper realistic effects. This piece is broken into three components: the back of the car, its front, and the logo. Multiple layers were used in Photoshop to achieve the needed effects.
Changing of the Guard - Poster
Changing of the Guard is a poster meant to promote a movie that has not been created yet. In this project, multiple photo editing and layout techniques have been used.
Virtual Portfolio - Flash Website
My Flash Virtual Portfolio was created in Web Design 2. The depicted image is the home page of the website. Many interactive functionalities have been added in Flash, and the entire work relies heavily on stop-motion animation techniques.
Graphic Design & Multimedia - Postcard
This is the first postcard that I have ever designed, and it was for our own program, here at GCU!
To create the design, I combined an eye with multiple interface elements of the software we use frequently in the labs.
