Animated Video Backgrounds Discord ❋ 2023

As a part of a broader mobile redesign campaign, Discord wanted to create unique video backgrounds to enrich user experience. This project endured multiple phases of concept development and revision, whittling down five concepts into three to be finished and animated. The assignment was uniquely challenging because it required developing a range of color, style, and genre options while keeping consistency with existing brand standards.

Social Media Illustrations Discord

Miscellaneous illustrations made for Discord's social media accounts. As opposed to with marketing materials and in-app assets, social media artwork requests permit more creative and stylistic freedom, so I used these opportunities to practice personal styles and experiment.
