Hi! My name is Megan Young. I graduated with my AAS from the Communication Design program at San Antonio College with a 3.9 GPA.

Education Associate of Applied Science: Communication Design San Antonio College 2020-2022

When deciding what career path I wanted to take, I had two things in mind: I want to create and I want to problem solve.

Graphic design is the perfect combination of the two because in this field we need to be able to solve our clients problems in creative ways. I’m adaptable and always keep an open mind. I strive to better myself and find that my best work comes from the hardest project briefs. I enjoy all areas of graphic design with my top 3 favorites being UX/UI design, editorial work, and photo compositing.

Lavender Meadows Co. is a skincare company who prides in making clean and natural skincare products. When creating this app I had two things in mind: who is my target audience and how can I appeal to them. With this company primarily marketed towards moms during and after pregnancy, I wanted to focus on creating an app that feels soft and feminine that is easy to navigate.

For my design, I wanted to use the same branding that I used on my app design. I used the same fonts and colors as well as the same icons. Just like the app, I wanted to keep it feeling feminine and soft so that the app and website design are harmonious.

When tackling this project I wanted to create a look and feel that is similar to Chanel’s branding identity: chic yet powerful. To capture that Chanel look, I used mostly black and white for the layout with red for pops of color. Red being a color of power, helps to bring interest while also fitting in with Chanel’s branding.

For this book, I wanted the overall aesthetic to be gentle and feminine. When I think about self love, it’s about being gentle with yourself, so I created that feel by using soft gradients and using few colors, mainly pink to give off that feminine feel. I incorporated black and white because I didn’t want to use just pinks. I wanted there to be some contrast that wouldnt overpower the soft/gentle look I was going for.

For my beer cans design, I got inspired by the Chinese New Year, Year of the Tiger. I based my designs on the Yin Yang symbol. My Lunar Tiger is my “Yin“ design which is being characterized by the moon and water.

My Solar Tiger is my “Yang“ which is characterized by the opposite - the sun and fire. I wanted to keep the designs the same yet different by changing the colors, fonts and using opposite layouts.

For this project I made an ablum cover for the song “White Ferrari“ by Frank Ocean. Everyone has their own interpretations of songs but for me this is a breakup song between two people who have drifted apart from eachother. The story behind my design: a couple goes on a car ride together. At the end of their trip one snaps a picture of the other and when the day is over, burns the polaroid signifying the end of the relationship.

Marion’s at the McNay is a restuarant set inside of an art musuem with spanish architecture. I wanted the logo for this resturaunt to reflect the musuem in some way so I used the architecture of the building as inspiration. For my menu and business card design I decided to take a simplistic yet elegant approach.

Cratos is a demigod who is the embodiment of strength and power. Using him as inspiration I created an activewear clothing brand for weightlifitng. For my logo design I was influenced by popular brands such as Nike and Adidas because I liked how the two brands are easily recognizable by their iconic yet simplistic logos.

I took three exisitng company’s logos, and redesigned them to be more effective.

Poolzoom is a swimming pool equipment company who needed its logo simplified.

4 star nails is a nail salon that has a luxurious feel on the inside and I felt like the chunky text didn’t properly represent that. Owl Radio is a radio show that caters towards people who are blind. I liked their owl/book imagery in their logo but felt like it needed to be simplified.

When going into this project I wanted to make something that will catch your attention since the purpose is to advertise the SAC library’s “Ask a Librarian“ feature on their website. I wanted to use colorful gradients to catch a student’s attention first and then use abstract imagery with the floating book and text to keep the viewers interest after the inital first glance. My poster design recieved 3rd place in an Experiental Learning Project with SAC and is displayed in the SAC Library.

This folder is designed to help new students at San Antonio College to be able to navigate the library while also highlighting their new study pods. For my design, I wanted to correlate my “Ask a Librarian“ poster with this folder by using the colorful gradients and illustrating floating isometric floors shaped like S’s to keep the viewer interested.

I retouched and colorized a black and white photo and created a narrative around it to bring an old photo back to life. The story behind the picture I made is, a young solder goes out to war, leaving his wife at home. She gets a letter in the mail along side a dog tag necklace, notifying her that her husband has been KIA. I wanted to create a dramatic scene using lighting and props to further emphasize the sadness of the picture

My main goal for this project was to create a make believe animal and place it inside of a habitat to showcase and introduce to the Witte Museum.

I blended the animal with a fox body, ocelot fur pattern and a bobcat tail. I wanted to draw attention to the make believe “Ocefox“ by using the warm toned animals, the red bird, groups of butterflies and pink bunny ears, which draws the viewers eyes to the main subject.
