Creativity & Concept Development Training—Spring 2026
C&CD was a course exploring how marketing gives design a purpose. Throughout this, I visually explored topics that were discussed. These topics include concept sketching, image obscurity & reveals, intrigue, feel/tone/story, subtlety, clarity, shock, dwell time, and more.
CONCEPT SKETCHING
Concept sketches are a vital tool of communication between designer and their client. We were tasked to sketch a variety of concepts throughout this course, focusing on accurately depicting our vision as the designer through an accurate, thorough, and stylized sketch.
FILTER & TEXTURE EXPLORATIONS
The use of filters and/or imported textures can bring a great amount of intrigue and visual interest to designs. They add to the story of what you’re creating, and can completely change the tone of the final result. Throughout C&CD, we did many explorations using such filters and textures.
APPLICATIONS IN DESIGN
The following images were created and designed by me throughout this professional experience. Each image was created using different topics learned throughout the course with the intent of depicting a unique message, tone, or story.
