After Hours
February 2023
This design captures the feeling of a desolate night, with time seemingly at a standstill until the city awakens. The letters in the design represent "after" and "hours" with each letter signifying 15 minutes, reflecting the slow passage of time.

Razor Sharp

I was drawn to the visual appeal of the traditional razor blade. The concept of transforming an everyday object into something entirely different. Initially I found the letter design to be rather dull. By turning the letters 90 degrees the whole design got a whole new dynamic.

I'm passionate about designing logos and icons that capture the essence of a word with precision and skill. Taking inspiration from the Japanese gangster films of the 1950s and 1960s, this design embodies the themes of gambling, violence, and romance.
Dune

Dune
February 2023
The tale of Dune holds a special place in my heart, particularly due to its multifaceted exploration of politics, religion, the decline of civilizations, vengeance, environmentalism, and heroism. As for my design, I have melded the aesthetics of Arabian calligraphy with the sleek form of a machine component to create a contemporary and eye-catching title.

While I generally appreciate simplicity in design and favor a limited color palette, I also have a penchant for vibrant colors and intricate patterns. As a result, I sought to strike a balance between these seemingly opposing preferences by creating a design that is both colorful and rhythmic.

The noise gets louder. The disruptiveness increases as its duration increases. Additionally, the message conveyed is not always easily discernible. But, there is a limit beyond which noise's negative consequences are intolerable.

I love Samurai related books and films. I attempted to combine novel aspects into a traditional letter design by drawing influence from the art of the samurai.

I have a strong appreciation for Jacques Tati's films, and this design takes inspiration from the artwork featured in his movie "Trafic".

The design is loosely based on the movie Stalker. Shades of black, brown, and yellow dominated the gloomy environment in the desolate and foreboding landscape, which resembled a post-apocalyptic world. I was inspired by the moving components of automatic watches.
