Hi, I'm Eldin.*

*(If we're using real names, Sage is fine too.)

I'm pretty good at it too.

Backed By Academics

With a third year standing in my Bachelors in Design, I am constantly expanding my knowledge of Graphic Design. Applying my learned subjects into personal works and professional practices.

Always Experimenting

I'm always learning both modern practices and traditional practices, all while pushing to see whats new and pulling inspiration from countless sources across the web—looks like being on the internet 24/7 has its perks. Take that, thoughtful family members.

Flexible Skillset

I love to learn new software and programs frequently. Constant exposure to how user interface and design is implemented in my everyday items helps me adapt to new situations on the fly.

Academic Projects

FUNCTION:
COLD BREW COFFEE

For the hydrated, tech-savvy mind, FUNCTION is an electrolyte-infused cold brew coffee company, with the sole purpose of being the supplement to your everyday tech work needs. This product challenged me with crafting a tech-inspired, gamified style to coffee drinks all while differentiating it from other "energy" drinks seen on market shelves.

Key Strategies

  • Package Design

  • Typography

  • Illustration

  • Brand Identity

  • Patterns/Effects

  • Print Preperation


Hiroki Nishiyama: Graphic Designer Excellence Poster

This project pressed me with the challenge of taking inspiration from an existing style—that of Hiroki Nishiyama's—for an event poster. This project let me express the style and feel of Nishiyama's artwork through hierarchy of type, limited selections in color, and key placements of subjects.

Key Strategies

  • Typography

  • Illustration

  • Color

  • Advertisement

  • Layout

  • Design Process


RECONSIDER

A portion of a larger project that really stuck out to me in when developing it. This design was created with the intent to raise awareness towards e-waste, and how often it goes unnoticed when tech is tossed away. The Eco-feel of the design was brought to life with the use of a green, leaf-like custom type and paper texture.

Key Strategies

  • Typography

  • 3D Objects

  • Texture

  • Environmentalism


Harper Brothers Barbershop

You know what makes the difference between a good barber and a great barber? Great barbers are ever so slightly funnier. The Harper Brothers are a humorous duo, and I wanted to express that through their identity and marketing. Their simple logo creates a recognizable and memorable figure, while their advertising humors to an all-encompassing audience.

Key Strategies

  • Logo Design

  • Wordmark

  • Advertising

  • Personality/Identity

  • Marketing

  • Photo Editing

  • Stationary Design


Equilibrium: Dataset Icons and Table Set

Equilibrium is a sleek and solid data branch, it was vital that the icons reflected this identity and were able to be scaled and visible at smaller sizes. This project challenged me in organizing promotional material and organizing datasets for visual consumption.

Key Strategies

  • Typography

  • Iconography

  • Color

  • Table sets

  • Promotion


Hey There

Canada, and I love sharing narratives and ideas through my designs.I grew up playing around with digital media when I was a kid. Since 2019, I’ve channeled that as a passion, mashing graphic design, illustration, motion graphics, and video editing together as part of my career.I have a deep inspiration for sharing meaningful messages through type and design across the digital visual medium. Hopefully I can fulfill that for you.Thanks for stopping by :)
