While developing my indie games, I realized how challenging it was to find the right visual assets, so I began teaching myself how to draw and design. This unexpectedly led me to explore Graphic Design more seriously. In class, I started by learning the fundamentals of Adobe Illustrator, and I also learned to use it for map designs and infographics. I then advanced to Photoshop techniques and eventually moved into layout and publication work with InDesign. Over the course, I completed two trifold brochure projects, a magazine practice assignment, and a final full-process magazine that I designed and printed as a physical publication through MagCloud.
