Hi there.

During the final project of 11th grade, our prompt was to either redo a previous design or work with package design. I decided to make this idea just because I wanted to make something cool. After coming up with the name ‘Grock,’ I spent the rest of the project trying to learn 3D rendering. I didn’t properly learn until a semester later. This is the result.

This design took many hours because I had to redesign the entire banner after I took a look at what the business team had made in Canva. This was my favorite version. However, I gave the officers two versions and they decided that they liked another version later. The banner got printed the next day on time for the competition.

Pixar’s movie Soul released at the beginning of 2021. When it released, someone posted a picture on the internet showing that the art style of Soul looked very similar to the icon for the Finder app on MacOS. I was spending time changing my system icons at the time and decided that making him into the Finder icon would be a great way to practice the pen tool in Illustrator.

This is the remote match preview page from The Orange Alliance’s mobile app. The Orange Alliance is the official data provider for FIRST® Tech Challenge match data. I redesigned this match data page to render the new remote match format. This page solves the main problem with rendering remote matches—the fact that they lack a team color. The colors got replaced with two different colors for light and dark mode.
