Hello, my name Juan Casares. For most of my life, I have always seen myself as a creative person. Now, I get a chance to share that creativity with the world. I see myself as a designer that has uniqiue traits, has ideas to be implemented in projects, and can search for topics really well.
When I was just a child, I had always found myself drawing things, be it for assignments or just for fun. As I got older, I was able slightly improve my craft until I eventually I was in high school. During my early life, I also grew a fondness for video games and wished to eventually work in the industry when I got older. Out of all the fields that I could do, I chose the field of Graphic Design because it allowed me to express my creativity and to hope that I will be a part of the gaming industry.
"Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated."
— Paul Rand
These are some of my recent projects
This project features a use of mainly bright warm colors with the exception of the blue used to contrast the background withthe main work. The main principle utilized here is that of Similarity. This is represented in the fish circles at the center of the piece.
This video project was for a hypothetical podcast, discussing various monsters from different forms of media. The intro is about 15 seconds long and utalizes various images and objects made in Adobe Illustrator. The tone of the intro is to make viewers feel unsettled, yet intrigued. The monster images used in the work is to represent different origins for monsters such as videogames, movies, and mythology.
This collage project was designed to look realistic. It uses horror themed villains in the darkness to give the viewer a feeling of dread. The placement of each character is very specific to each of them, with Chucky being the smallest and in the front, while Michael Myers is in the back to match the lighting.
