My name is Jarie Agito, "Jar" in short. I’m a 3-year Graphic design graduate from Algonquin College based in Ottawa, ON, Canada. I am passionate about bringing concepts to life by creating strong visual stories.
My overall goals as a designer includes building an uplifting and enthusiastic atmosphere to all my work. I gravitate towards challenges that pull me out of my comfort zone. I believe it helps motivate me to enhance my design skills and push me to discover innovative solutions to any design problems.
During my spare time, I create illustrations that are inspired by music or quotes that resonate to me. A few finished pieces are shown below showcasing the full process of each design.
The design inspiration for the illustration was based on a quote I found saying, "Look how far you've come," and adding on to the idea of what else lies ahead. I wanted to try and mix cool and warm tones together, as I usually gravitate towards warm tones. I always try to find ways to step out of what feels familiar to me, and challenge myself to experiment with different elements while telling a story.
For this illustration, I was inspired by an album called "Optimist" from an artist named Finneas. It reminded me of the countryside, which always feels calm and light. The main idea for the design is that there's a big world to explore outside our homes, I tried to show this by creating a visual perspective between the environment vs the house by playing with scale.
Ever since COVID-19 and quarantining began, being at home so much may feel isolating and lonely at times. The design is an attempt to remind people to be optimistic, hopeful, and to shift perspectives.
