Heathers is a personal project poster I did because this is one of my favorite movies/musicals. I incorporated the four different color schemes: red, blue, yellow, and green along with a specific object or person.

In this Skin is a poster designed for poet/playwright Aimee Suzara to promote her book: "Souvenir". Along with Aimee, some of the sponsors included are the LPC Poetry Club, the Las Positas Foundation, and the Milanese Family Gift Fund. The Design Process was very conceptual in which I wanted to incorporate elements of Filipino culture.

Math Jam poster created for the Las Positas College Math Department. Artwork and text designed and laid out in Adobe Illustrator. I also had to recreate the original blue and yellow logo since I was provided with a low-resolution version and edited the original in Illustrator. This poster was created to promote Math Jam; a one week event to help students reach their math goals in college level classes.
