Graphic design

Hello there!
My name is Elza and as you might of guessed
this is my portfolio. I will be finishing my
bachelors in Art Academy of Latvia in June and
I am looking for some experience in the graphic
design field this fall, and that’s why most of my
works are made during the studies.
I work freely with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator
and Figma. During my studies now remotely I
try to keep some sanity with my one silly walk
of the day, I am also trying to read more books,
but with that I failing miserably.

I hope you will enjoy some things that I have

made and hopefully we will meet again face to
face or in another way!

This project was made as it was a part of a
color class assignment. My theme was Cuba and
I made 3 product packages to a common Cuban
condiment—guava.

The purpose of the newspaper used in
packaging is that there is no need to use new
materials instead reusing old newspapers, that
at the same time is highlighting the embargo’s
and comunism’s impact on the country.
