Yale Urs Lehni (Rollo Press) Workshop
A dynamic digital illustration merging neon gradients, fragmented typography, and 3D geometric forms to create a glitch-inspired visual experience exploring spatial depth and color theory.
Neon Geometric Abstraction
A printed photograph study of feet, showcasing anatomical detail and textile textures within a thesis portfolio piece.
Feet Detail Print Study
Abstract typographic experiment using fluid, irregular shapes with red-to-blue gradients, arranged within a rectangular grid to explore non-standard letterform dynamics.
Gradient Typographic Abstraction
A digital still life composition featuring textured objects arranged against a dramatic cloud-like background, exploring form, lighting, and environmental storytelling for a design thesis.
Cloudscape Still Life
A photographic composition featuring a fork partially obscured by a bubble layer, juxtaposing transparency with vibrant background surfaces to explore material interactions in design.
Bubbled Utensil Study
A monochromatic digital illustration with a single white square centered on a black background, demonstrating minimalist design through stark contrast and negative space.
Minimalist Centered Square
A close-up, intentionally blurred photographic exploration of human form and texture, developed as part of a graduate thesis practice to investigate visual ambiguity in design.
Blurred Anatomy Study
A digital design featuring bold 3D cyan 'WELCOME' lettering and playful green 'What's going on?' text against a vibrant pink-to-red gradient background, showcasing experimental typography in a web interface.
Digital Gradient Typography Experiment
A thesis project illustration featuring a metallic door handle against a bold red polka-dot background, accented by a geometric green element to demonstrate visual contrast and design principles.
Red Polka Dot Door Handle Composition
A digital test page featuring a repeating '1' character grid, developed for academic design practice to evaluate layout, spacing, and document preparation.
