ART CREATIVE SUPERTHEME — streaming visual package

Year — 2023 Company — StreamElements Category — Illustration / Streaming Graphics Medium — Storyboard Illustration & Stream Package Design Tools — Procreate, Adobe Photoshop

Description — Visual concept developed for an Art Creative SuperTheme, a complete streaming package designed to be offered as part of the platform’s creator tools.

In the streaming ecosystem, a SuperTheme is a coordinated set of visual assets—such as overlays, alerts, panels, and interface graphics—that allows streamers to build a cohesive visual identity for their channel.

This concept was created specifically for creators who stream their artistic process, a popular category on Twitch. The visuals were inspired by sketchbooks, loose lines, and the spontaneous energy of creative workspaces. The exploration was developed as a storyboard-style proposal to guide potential animation, with GIF previews illustrating how the theme could behave in motion.

NOS ACOSTUMBRAMOS AL HORROR — Lettering Composition

Year — 2021 Client — Personal Project Category — Lettering / Visual Commentary Medium — Hand Lettering & Digital Composition Tools — Hand Lettering, Adobe Photoshop

Description — Personal lettering piece created during the social unrest that took place in Colombia during the 2021 Colombian National Strike.

At the time, social media feeds were constantly flooded with images and reports of violence, including excessive use of force against protesters and multiple cases of brutality. The overwhelming amount of disturbing content created a troubling sensation: the feeling that people were slowly becoming desensitized to the horror they were witnessing every day.

The phrase “Nos acostumbramos al horror” (“We got used to the horror”) was written in expressive lettering designed to resemble blood, visually reinforcing the weight of the message. The piece was initially created by hand and later digitized and refined in Photoshop.

This work reflects on how repetition and constant exposure to violence can normalize what should never become ordinary.

SATÁN — Lettering Logo Exploration

Year — 2021 Client — Satán Category — Lettering / Logo Design Medium — Calligraphy, Hand Lettering & Digital Vector Design Tools — Hand Sketching, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
