Graphic Design by Teka

Welcome to my Graphic Design page!

Below are examples of my design work to create graphics that communicate ideas, solve problems, and present artistic compositions.

Get Hyped- energy drink Design Concepts

For this project, we developed a name and visual concept for a new cherry-flavored energy drink. We designed logos and made mockups to show our branding on the actual can package. I wanted my product to be loud and intense, so I thought it would be fun to name it "Death" and give it a rough eye-catching logo concept and package design, as you can see in the mockup and logos to the left!

Define Yourself- Personal Branding Designs

For this project, we designed logos to represent ourselves as media artists. These are some of my ideation concepts, and I'm still deciding which logo I want to use moving forward!

Going Platinum- Album Art Design

For this project, we researched a musical artist and made mood boards about their style and artistic approach. Then we designed our own album art for one of their albums, showing a consistent concept across the cover, inside, traycard, and disc art.

Business Branding Package- Downtown Records

For this project, we were given creative briefs that outlined information about fake businesses based on real local businesses that were seeking a re-branding with logos, advertisements, color schemes, and more. These were the designs I made as practice for Downtown Records (which is a real shop in Barre, actually!) to imagine logos suiting the company's goals and personality.

Willi's Wine Bar- Graphic Design Recreation Challenge

For this class design challenge, we had 90 minutes to recreate a design by AJ Cassandre made in the 1930's in the Art Nouveau style for a wine bar in Paris. To recreate the design, we had to study the layout and graphic elements by eye and make our design from scratch in Adobe Illustrator. This is a side-by-side comparison of my submission compared to the original!

healthnut Snack Bar Designs

For this project, we practiced branding and logo design to create a series of logos for a fictional company that was making a peanut-butter bar that was tasty as candy and healthy as a nutritional bar. After designing some logos, we created mockups to show the logos in action on a demonstration of the packaging!

Lazer Dad Band Promo Designs

For this project, we worked with a band in Burlington, VT who play music in the style of the 1990's. They hired us to design new logos that they could use online and as stickers to promote their band. These were the designs I submitted, playing on the visual style of the 1990's with lots of colors and shapes.

event poster Design

For this project, we designed standard tabloid-sized posters to advertise events we would like to see at Vermont's biggest venue, Higher Ground. To make our designs, we were only allowed to use one unoriginal asset and had to design the rest ourselves using graphic design principles! For my poster, I am advertising for Gabriel Iglesias doing a standup comedy set!

Arts Riot Yard Sale Event Designs

For this project, we designed a full set of branding materials for a client that was hiring our class to create advertising materials for an event at Arts Riot, a venue in Burlington. Our design submissions had to help visualize the eclectic, hip, and exciting event that combined music, live art, local product sales, and more. I went for a very casual hand-drawn but fun vibe for my designs.

Design Challenge- Three Sides Is All You Need

This project was part of a 90-minute design challenge where we had to create a unique design of our own using only triangle shapes as building blocks. For my design, I made a skull wearing a crown composed of hand-made triangles and colored in abstract patterns.

Design Challenge- When Opposites Attract

This was a design challenge when we had a time limit to create our own design concept. This design concept was to create a visual that was built up of opposite or different objects in an artistic way. For my design, I made a cat built up of shamrock/clovers in an abstract yet clear way.

National Board Certified Teacher Poster Design

This was one of our class client jobs- we designed posters with original visual elements for the Vermont NBCT chapter to award their teachers this year. I made my design featuring a cool college campus building I shot in Vermont.

color wheel design

For this project, we made original designs to showcase the primary and secondary colors in our own color wheel graphic. My piece offered an abstract visual reference to Harry Potter, and I painted the color spectrum backdrop as soft feathered brushes.

cartoon self Portrait

For this project, we learned to use the Pen Tool to make cartoon portraits of ourselves. We also learned to use our vinyl printer by printing these out as stickers!

Typography Alignment Design

For this project, we practiced arranging and designing with typography by creating a custom typography art piece in InDesign using spacing, leading, tracking, and justifying. My text is from The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

car Digital drawing

For this project, we mastered the pen tool and manual digital drawing techniques to make complete vector drawings of cars, vehicles, and complicated shapes. Using a photo to guide me, I made my digital drawing of a 1967 Plymouth Superbird.
