For this poetry spread, I combined a minimalist one-line drawing of a man with abstract geometric shapes in muted tones from the magazine’s palette. The shapes serve as a visual reference to the “kindergarten shapes” and collage-like artworks described in the poem, echoing the speaker’s reflection on juvenile art and memory. This interplay between text and imagery creates a contemplative, modern layout where the visuals amplify the poem’s themes of nostalgia, loss, and the search for meaning in simple forms.
Starboy Reimagined
This project is a recreation of the iconic Starboy album cover by The Weeknd, originally released in 2016. The original cover features The Weeknd in a dark setting, illuminated by strong red and blue lighting, and the bold title "Starboy" in bright yellow at the top. The intense color contrast and moody expression reflect the dark, futuristic, and emotional themes of the album.
I focused on the main elements that make the “Starboy” cover so powerful — the deep red and blue lighting, the confident yet introspective pose, and the minimalist background that draws all attention to the figure. I carefully layered shadows and highlights to mimic the lighting that gives the original image its cinematic feel. I also worked on capturing the emotion in The Weeknd’s expression and posture, emphasizing the tension and mystery that define the album’s visual identity.
Concert Poster
This digitally drawn Lady Gaga concert poster is an original creation that captures the electrifying spirit of her Chromatica Ball tour. Gaga stands in a powerful, commanding pose, dressed in bold black with sharp, angular shoulders — a reflection of her strength and avant-garde style. Behind her, a vivid red planet glows, symbolizing her explosive energy and larger-than-life persona. The bold white letters of her name stretch dramatically across the top, adding contrast and impact. Set against a stark black background, this poster embodies Gaga’s fearless creativity and pop power.
