Featured Design Work
Just some bite sized design projects that I've worked on that deserve a space of their own!
Aftab Fall Student Magazine
As the co-president and editor ofthis literary magazine club, I designed this magazine full of student photos and poems to showcase our work and what we are capable of creating.
Paki Tag
Paki is also a derogatory term but as a way to bring it back, I wanted to make it more fun with pastel colors (green for the national color) and bubble characters.
Aftab Logo
I revised the logo for the literary club to show the meaning more. Aftab means rays of light, so on an open book you can see the light coming off and then the t being substituted for the first letter of the Arabic alphabet highlighting the community.
Snow Day
Using After Effects and using plugins to make characters walk was an interesting project and it was better with a small story for a snow day.
A Place For Us Opening Credits
A Place For Us is a well written novel by Fatema Farheen Mirza that I would love to see a movie on, which is why I created a animated opening credits all with easter eggs from the book.
Badshahi Moon
I had never gone to visit Pakistan so it would always be something out of reach for me which is why I put all of the different beautiful landmarks on the crescent.
Golden Gate
I love the architecture of the Golden Gate Bridge and it took me many weeks to replicate it in the animation but it was worth it especially seeing how the nightlife colors can show with it.
Sitara Sound Design
Sitara is a non-audio animated short film that shows the problematic culture of child marriage and I wanted to add some sound effects that added to the message.
Pause Logo
For an idea for a diverse podcast company, I wanted to mimic the audio signals with a pause sign to signify taking a break once in a while.
The Moth
The Moth is a storytelling company and has a bunch of videos posted on social media. For an idea for the animated station ID, I took the moth from its logo to be ignited when it touches a flame, symbolizing the impact of the company.
Pardesi Fiction Writing Group Magazine
As the editor for Pardesi, a non-profit that is a community to South Asian women and femmes, I created a magazine that gave them a space to shine.
Astoria Train Views
I lived in Astoria, Queens for 15 years and loved taking the N train for the last stop, this is the illustrated version of what I usually see.
Panda Fun
Pandas are in my opinion the most playful animals and it took a while but I decided to linocut and then reillustrate them in just the same way.
