Decade Poster
The concept for this poster was to encapsulate a scene in music history based on the decade. I chose the 1990s, when Gangster Rap was king. I wanted to present the East Coast vs West Coast Rivalry by having the circles be coloured as blue vs red. By doing this, it not only conveyed the East vs West rivalry, it also makes the viewer think of police lights, a common visual related to gang activity.
Designer Poster
Throughout graphic design history there have been many iconic movements. For the piece below I chose to pay homage to the Swiss Designer Josef Muller- Brockman. I did this by using a grid layout, popularized during this design movement, and by limiting the number of colours in the design.
DAMN Poster
This poster is based on the 2017 album DAMN by Kendrick Lamar. Throughout the album you hear of this character called “Kung Fu Kenny”. This name brought images of 1970s kung fu film posters and I wanted to bring that image into the modern day while still maintaining the classic appeal. I did this by using modern/ conventional design elements and artificially aging the images and the canvas on which the poster is made.
The Shining Poster
Horror films provide a wealth of iconic imagery, and this certainty applies to Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 thriller “The Shinig”. This poster represents a sequence of events from the film. The artificial distressing was done to give a grungy and somewhat horrific feel to the overall project.
Predator Poster
Predator, one of the quintessential 80s action flicks, and one of my personal favourites. This poster was made to look and feel like a relic of the past, as if you went back in time and found it posted in your local theater. I chose an iconic image of Arnold and raised the contrast and the blur to simulate a poor printing. I used primarily the colour red to set the tone for the violent film and for it to be a nice contrast with the black and white main image.
Stand By Me Poster
This poster was made as a redesign of an iconic film. I wanted to build off the original poster while still making it my own. I focused on an iconic image from the film, the train. I employed this image to frame the main cast. The headlight of the train doubles as the moon in the sky designed for the poster.

Foster the Frost Presentation
When you have to make a brand often times you have to go through many steps. In this project, I decided to document the steps I took. Some of these steps include seeing the flaws in the competition and seeing where we can capitalize. This presentation also documents my thoughts on colour choice as well as the evolution of the website layout, from sketches to full fledge renderings of the final product.

HIFI Logo
Synthwave is a genre of music where they take influence from the 1980s new wave sound. I designed this logo to look like a 1980s production studio. I wanted to incorporate the tagline of the company into the main logo since HIFI was a news source for synthwave music I felt the tagline “Tracking the Greatest In Synthwave” would help reinforce the companies identity.
Witcher Pixel Art
The Witcher video game series, a modern series with a mature storyline, but what would it look like if it came out 30 years ago? This is my interpretation for what I think the title screen would resemble. I used a limited colour pallet to simulate the capabilities of the old hardware and redesigned the main logo and title card to be in pixel art form.
