About me Hi, my name is Carmen and I am a graphic designer and a Adobe Certified Professional.

My background in Art History gave me an understanding about composition, color theory and art movements.

In 2022 I took part in the Graphic Design for Print & Social Media course provided by ETB Tipperary where I had the opportunity to be trained in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere and After Effects and get the official certifications.

I am always learning about Graphic Design through courses and videos that keep me updated and allow me to continue improving my design skills.

BOOK COVER DESIGN

Lucid Dreams

Moodboard

Mindmap

1

The aim of the brief was to create a cover for a book called "Dreams".

To generate as many ideas as possible I realized a mindmap.

I ended up linking it to lucid dreams and how this is a state of conciousnes while being asleep. That led me to the idea that this is a state of opposites: being awake while dreaming. I

decided that this could be a good idea for the cover design.

To inspire and define the idea, I created a moodboard where I chose the colour pallete, the fonts and the overall style.

Peacock BUILDERS From the ground up

This project is about a logo design for a construction company called Peacock builders.

I started the project researching other companies of the like in Ireland, in order to get an overall image about their logos and positioning.

After that, I looked for construction images in order to get some inspiration.

Lastly I started to create different alternatives and ideas for the logo.

The logo is a combination of a building and a house shown in the negative space that can be read as an upright arrow .

Handshake Ice cream is a logo project for a new ice cream shop.

I designed the logo using the golden ratio, as you can see in the image below.

The mockups show how this logo would look like in a facebook page or in a shopfront.

I also selected what could be the brand colours.
