This "Taste of Cuba)collage design contains personal photos from my trip to Cuba in 2018. This is the first time I had ever been out of the United States. Although technically Cuba is only about 99 miles from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Unlike most travel excursions, visitors of kept on a limited scenic tour schedule. If travelers arrive by cruise ship, many will often stay on the ship. The most exciting thing about my trip was the freedom I had to move around and travel about without the tour guides. Although, the touring schedule prepared for my tour group gave us opportunities to interact and be among the people who live there. This design was recently created using Adobe InDesign. (May-2022)

This sunburst graphic design is an attempt at a self-portrait of myself as I practice to increase my drawing skills. I enjoyed using the various tools to create the facial features as well as the background design. I plan to continue enhancing my skills through creating self-interest design pieces. I love to play with color as well. As I was creating this design, it was my daughter who actually identified this piece as my self-portrait. One thing that I do appreciate is a graphic design with a memorable quote attached to it. I would like to creative such designs that I can share on social media The designed was created using Adobe Illustrator. (May-2022)
I must admit that I was having a lot of fun creating these sunflowers. I love the summer and all of the blooms the season brings. This design also allowed me to play around with various color schemes. Being able to create digital artistry is an amazing skill. I believe the more familiar you are with a software application, the more skill you become in using it. I am very happy with the turnout of this design and I will plan to use it as a screensaver on one of my devices. This sunflower graphic design was created using Adobe Illustrator as a continue to practice my drawing skills of graphic designs. (May, 2022)
