IHSS SUPPORT SOCIAL MEDIA POST DESIGNS

Creating Social Media Posts for IHSS Support Using Adobe Illustrator To design engaging social media content for IHSS Support, Adobe Illustrator is a powerful tool that allows for high-quality, scalable graphics. The process begins with setting the artboard to standard social media dimensions (like 1080x1080px for Instagram). Next, branded elements such as logos, color schemes, and fonts are added to maintain visual consistency. Using Illustrator’s vector tools, you can create custom icons, shapes, and illustrations that highlight key IHSS services or announcements. Incorporating clear typography and concise messaging ensures the posts are easy to read and accessible. Once finalized, the design is exported in optimized formats (like PNG or JPEG) for uploading to various platforms. This approach ensures each post is visually cohesive, professional, and tailored to support the IHSS community effectively.

LOGOS FOR EL CAJON SMALL BUSINESS CENTER, DIRECTORY & INCUBATOR

Creating Three Logos for EL Cajon Small Business Center Using Adobe Illustrator EL Cajon Small Business Center features three distinct logo variations to suit different branding needs: a primary logo, a simplified secondary logo, and an icon logo. Each is created using Adobe Illustrator to ensure clean, scalable vector graphics. The process starts with setting up a color palette and typography that reflects EL Cajon Center's identity—often incorporating traditional EL Cajon elements, warm tones, and professional fonts. The primary logo includes the full business name and emblem, ideal for websites and signage. The secondary logo is a more compact version used for social media or letterheads. The icon logo is a minimalist symbol derived from the main design, perfect for profile pictures or app icons. Illustrator tools like the Pen Tool, Shape Builder, and Type Tool help refine each version with precision, while layers and artboards keep the workflow organized. Once complete, the logos are exported in multiple formats (AI, SVG, PNG) for versatile use across digital and print platforms.

EL CAJON SMALL BUSINESS CENTER PACKAGE DESIGN WITH CONTRACT (ENGLISH & ARABIC) 

Package Design for EL Cajon Small Business Center The package design for EL Cajon Small Business Center is a professional layout that presents key information in a clear and visually appealing way. It includes an overview of the center, the services offered to small businesses, and details about the service contract. Using Adobe Illustrator, the design process begins with setting up the document size based on how the package will be used—whether it's for print or digital sharing. The design includes branded colors, fonts, and graphics that match EL Cajon Small Business Center’s identity. Icons and section headers are used to make the content easy to navigate. Illustrator’s tools allow for precise layout control, including placing text, aligning elements, and adding custom shapes or visuals. Once the design is complete, it's exported in print-ready formats like PDF, or digital formats like PNG or JPEG, depending on how it will be distributed.

PORTRAITS
(DIGITAL ILLSTORATION)

Digital Drawings in Photoshop Using a Drawing Tablet Some of my artwork was created digitally using Adobe Photoshop along with a drawing tablet, which makes it easier to draw naturally—just like using a pencil on paper. The tablet connects to the computer, and you can use the stylus (pen) to sketch, outline, and color directly in Photoshop. Photoshop offers different brushes, textures, and layers, which help bring each drawing to life. I start by sketching the basic shapes on one layer, then add cleaner lines on another layer, followed by color and shading. The tablet allows for pressure sensitivity, meaning the harder you press, the thicker or darker the lines—giving the drawings a more realistic, hand-drawn feel. This setup makes it fun and flexible to create detailed digital art while keeping everything organized and easy to edit.

CELINE HEALTH LOGO DESIGNS IDEAS

I created several logo concepts for Celine Health using Adobe Illustrator, focusing on clean and modern designs that reflect care and wellness. One of the ideas was shaped like a heart, symbolizing compassion and health. The client chose this heart-shaped logo because it clearly represents their values and feels warm and approachable.

WEDDING CARDS (DIGITAL ILLSTORATION)

To create the wedding invitation, I first designed the digital graphics in Photoshop, including a custom drawing of the married couple to add a personal and unique touch. Then, I used Illustrator to design the actual invitation card, placing the graphics, arranging the layout, and adding the text. Photoshop helped with the detailed artwork, while Illustrator was perfect for creating a clean and professional final design ready for print.

BA PERFUME - BROCHURE DESIGN

For the BA perfume brochure, I designed the logo in Illustrator, then used Photoshop to place the images into a mockup and create a realistic look. After that, I used a special brochure template in InDesign to put everything together and finalize the layout. This was part of an assignment for my Graphic Design class.

GALLERY POSTER & THEATER POSTER

During my Graphic Design class, I made posters using Illustrator and Photoshop. I used Illustrator to create the main design elements and layout, and Photoshop to edit images and add special effects. Both programs helped me make creative and eye-catching posters.

YOU - COLLAGE IMAGES

To create the YOU design, I used Photoshop to make a collage by combining different photos together. I carefully arranged and blended the images to form a creative and meaningful design that represents "YOU." Photoshop made it easy to mix the photos and add effects to bring the collage to life.

DREAM DECOR -  FACEBOOK AD & INSTAGRAM PAGE

I created Facebook ads for Dream Decor by using Photoshop to merge images and design eye-catching visuals. I also made a fake Instagram page to show how the brand could look on social media. For the logo, I used Illustrator to design a special and unique look that matched the style of the brand. This helped bring the whole branding idea together.

POST DESIGNS & ROLL UP BANNER

I made posters for EL Cajon Small Business Center, and the Chaldean Radio and Television using Illustrator. I also designed a roll-up banner for EL Cajon small business center. I used Illustrator to arrange the text, images, and colors in a clear and attractive way to match each topic. The designs were made to look professional and easy to read.

I created a menu for an Iraqi chef’s restaurant in Belgium using Illustrator. The design was made specifically for a client and included traditional Iraqi food items. I used Illustrator to organize the layout, choose suitable fonts, and add decorative elements that matched the restaurant’s style, making the menu clear, attractive, and easy to read.

M0TIF DESIGN

During my Graphic Design class, I created a motif design by using letters as the main shapes. I designed the letters in Illustrator, then arranged and styled them to form a repeating pattern. After that, I used InDesign to organize the final layout and prepare the design for presentation.

HALLOWEEN - GREETING CARD & MORE DESIGNS

During my Graphic Design class, I made a greeting card and other creative designs. I used Illustrator to create the main design elements and layout, and Photoshop to make mockups that show how the designs would look in real life. This helped me present the work in a professional and realistic way.

GIF - ANIMATION

I created GIF animations by first designing the graphics in Illustrator. Then, I used Photoshop to put the graphics together and create the animation. I also made GIFs using short animated video clips by editing and exporting them in Photoshop. This allowed me to bring the designs to life with simple motion.

ZAHA HADID - IMAGE MANIPULATION

I used Photoshop to manipulate and merge images by combining a picture of a famous architect with one of their buildings. I carefully blended the two images together using layers, masks, and effects to create a smooth and creative final image. This helped show a strong connection between the architect and their work.
