I am a multidisciplinary designer and brand developer from Miami, majoring in communication design at the Parsons School of Design (NYC). I strive to develop unique and engaging work that is both content-centered and concept-driven. My branding and design work ranges from visual identity and branding strategy to video editing, illustration and digital design. My skills in concept development and utilizing my technical Adobe tools enable me to effectively see projects through from research to completion. I draw on my international upbringing and Iranian/American heritage to incorporate diverse lenses through which I construct an engaging design vernacular. My goal is to be fresh yet relatable, challenging yet approachable, and ultimately to be memorable. The work explores a play on emotions and patterns as a powerful means of impacting communication and lasting memories. Aside from my work, I enjoy sports, R&B, Hip-Hop, and thriller films. https://www.armanmcleanstudio.com/graphics daily 0.75 2022-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626378254375-EDTDKENH3GOX03PY8BJK/THUMBNAIL-LINK-Compressed.jpg Personal Work - Romeo & Juliet Collage and Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626375534395-MTYUW9XJGTWFK1QYU3U0/ADIDAS-BIRDS-Compressed+copy.jpg Personal Work - Adidas Birds Patterns and Iconography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626377744454-P5BAKPN3EYN6XBBQ7ESX/THUMBNAIL-LINK-Compressed.jpg Personal Work - Green Movement Freedom and Oppression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626376849867-RL1CDPF2TPH3HZNGBMIQ/THUMBNAIL-LINK-Compressed.jpg Personal Work - Nike LeBron Immersion and Iconography https://www.armanmcleanstudio.com/branding daily 0.75 2022-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626816972206-P4DOT6HNPZFJP8RXTUI2/Thumbnail-Link-Compressed.jpg Commercial Work - Early Worm Playful and Relatable https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626816233395-P6OQNU0ZXIX0LKF0H7UG/Thumbnail-Link-Compressed.jpg Commercial Work - The Hub Industrial and Corporate https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626816866555-2BENZX1ICV4SC7C824KG/Thumbnail-Link-Compressed.jpg Commercial Work - Studio A’sil Streamline and Minimalist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626816760578-GP3ZIR5T85REBQP3SL7U/Thumbnail-Link-Compressed.jpg Commercial Work - Costa Brava Upscale and Classic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626816671615-LBYVPVLXWH0JCDEI5AB3/Thumbnail-Link-Compressed.jpg Commercial Work - My Logo Sleek and Simple https://www.armanmcleanstudio.com/videos daily 0.75 2022-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1635119490981-4XLKKRWLBQVEGMSKXRZ2/SIMPLE+THINGS-THUMBNAIL-LINK.jpg Videography - Simple Things Friendships and Enjoyment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626818343424-J6FZQOHQFZDW3M3F7RV3/Thumbnail-Link-Compressed.jpg Videography - Waves Youth and Relationships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626818054082-5MY6NWNU5O6E5U5RTJDX/THUMBNAIL-LINK-Compressed.jpg Videography - Green Movement Freedom and Oppression https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626819381535-CO2WEPZP9OJVXPJX6F6I/Thumbnail-Link-Compressed.jpg Videography - Faces of NYC Diversity and Struggle https://www.armanmcleanstudio.com/adidas-birds daily 0.75 2021-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f06e955b9fb76d5702ff75/1626384504377-NUT6M4HNYCLTGR390KUE/ADIDAS-BIRDS-Compressed+copy.jpg Adidas Birds - Adidas Birds The design concept for this project is based on merging patterns in nature with corporate iconography, like the Adidas logo. This combination of imaginary creates a sense of power and movement. I chose this image of migrating birds to play on these feelings because Adidas is primarily an outdoors sportswear brand, which the flock of birds subtly reflects in this single image as well. My main goal with this project was to subconsciously project all of these ideas and feelings to the viewer through memorable and graphical imagery.

I wanted to create an immersive pattern solely out of the logo that would draw the viewer in. My two main sources of inspiration came from Christian and Muslim symbolism seen in paintings, churches and mosques given my mixed Iranian/American heritage. Conceptually, this is meant to be a piece of retro advertisement for Nike that depicts one of their rising star athletes, a young LeBron James, at the beginning of his career.

My goal was to capture his essence at different stages in his career. I achieved this through combining a repeating pattern of Nike swooshes with expressive portraits of Kobe himself. I was experimenting with the level of detail required to recreate someone’s likeness through the use of negative space.

Depending on the viewers physical distance to the piece the theme of the work changes as a whole. The closer to the piece, the more apparent the swooshes appear and Kobe’s face becomes less clear versus the opposite when viewing it from farther away.

The work relates to the Iranian Green Movement in which peaceful protesters demanding civil liberties were attacked. The repeating pattern is formed from the Farsi word meaning freedom (AZADI). I chose the image of a covered woman for this piece because the Green Movement, which started as a general civil liberties movement quickly became a women’s freedom centric movement.

The design concept was the reuse of art depicting the characters in new and interesting ways. I wanted to depict the essence of these stories through collaged imagery of older paintings that recreated these same tales of love and loss. William and Morris tapestries served as my main inspiration for this project. My intent for this piece was for the book cover to seem as if it were cut out of a larger tapestry telling the story of Romeo & Juliet.

The imagery on each cover was meant to provide the reader a hint of what type of story they were about to enter. The biggest difference was that I was trying to express a sense of violence, loss and eventual passage to a more peaceful place. This is why the view of the book cover is looking up at the blue sky filled with circling clouds, with Caesar being attacked on the edges of the cover.

The show explored a dependence on technology and the impact it has on humanity. To emphasize this point in an attention-grabbing way, I chose an expressive, ambiguous character with jarring robotic eyes. I used the text detailing the information regarding the gallery location, time of the event and name of the artist as my medium of choice to make out the face of the character. The aim was to attract people who would be interested in this topic by using visually arresting imagery that would stop someone who is walking by due to the abstract and jarring nature of the piece.

My aim was to create a pattern using an existing logo that gives off a unique sense of luxury that could be applied to anything. I was combining Eastern and Western design elements, once again, to create a new and engaging piece. Elements came from designer brand monogram patterns like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, but I also combined these with detailed pattern work that I had seen in mosques. This marriage of East and West works time and time again and takes me in endless directions.

This construction company specializes in large buildings and skyscrapers and my intent was to subtly reflect that in the icon. The icon was meant to be used for a separate section of Plaza Construction’s website where the Plaza Construction personnel and clients could virtually meet. I aimed to develop this as an understated, yet recognizable icon given that it would play a secondary role to the company’s main logo.

Their design brief stated that they wanted to attract an affluent group of residents to their city and play on the fact that they are a beach town. My approach for this project was to create a sense of elegance through simplicity. I was very inspired by design elements used in high-end restaurants and how they give off a sense of luxury though minimalism and placement.

I was playing around with different letter formations and my aim was to craft something that felt very clean, yet one could place it on anything and it would have a presence. I placed the “A” inside the “M” to form one simple shape which is visually easier to remember given the streamlined look and feel. I added the double angled lines to help illuminate the “M” and give the piece a bit more movement.

The client stated that they wanted the original building logo updated but, still wanted to keep some of the older classic elements. While creating this logo I wanted it to add a sense of old world luxury and class, almost like an aged single malt glass of scotch. This logo creates a feeling of warmth, assuredness, and comfort all from a place of grandeur.

My intent was to use the initial letters of Studio A’Sil’s name (“A” and “S”) to form the image of a chair so that possible /potential clients immediately associate that image of a chair with their company. By doing so viewers would easily remember Studio A’Sil and immediately equate / associate the company with the furniture they sell.

This client wanted imagery of a worm to be included in the logo and on T-shirts and other apparel. This logo went through numerous iterations as it was difficult to find a balance between all elements and adopting the right tone. The final product, depicting the worm coming out of a golf ball instead of an apple, presented a comedic twist and the laid-back attitude the client was looking for. The typeface and smiling worm I chose completed the look and feel of the brand not taking itself too seriously.

They were looking for a new, modern and streamlined look for their upscale building. After meeting the client the thought was to strip the design down to its’ bare bones and to let the typeface speak for itself. The focus was to determine the appropriate typeface in order to achieve a look that represented high quality and newness. The inspiration came from the clean lines seen in mid-century modern architecture as it is simple and straightforward, yet it represents quality and modernity. This fit the Miami lifestyle of elegance and quality.

The concept was to market themselves as an inclusive community. The design brief emphasized that actors would be joining a community of people who help you and your craft. My goal was to develop something simple, digestible and include the idea of togetherness as the focal point. My focus was on a circular form with no defined beginning or ending. The design concept was based on a metal fence and how the links in a fence work together to hold itself up. This is similar to the sense of community which the theater company emphasized. Hence, my design is depicting abstracted hands holding each other.

For this illustration I wanted to challenge myself by revealing a limited amount of Clint Eastwood’s face, but the viewer is still able to recognize his iconic squint. I soon realized the best way to solve this challenge was by framing this piece in the form of a super close-up. The treatment of the text was also very important to me. I wanted the title to be subtle, but noticeable at the same time. In my mind the best way to incorporate the text was to embed it into his sunburnt skin as if it was part of his burn. This makes the image more interesting to look at and gives the viewer a better idea of what to expect in this film.

For this piece I was focusing on creating the most realistic looking piece possible. I wanted the viewer to feel like they are looking at a photograph. The topic of this piece was a bit more personal. This illustration is supposed to represent my Iranian heritage and my American heritage coming together. The red stamps were used from my mother’s old Iranian passport and I placed myself standing on top of these stamps to represent my Iranian background and how this is something that I am proud of.

I was focusing on blending realistic black and white pencil with colorful abstract shapes done with markers. I was inspired a lot by Dali’s style of work and how he was able to create these incredibly colorful and imaginative scenes using a very hyper realistic style of painting. To me mixing these dreamlike visuals and concepts with a very grounded style of work was very eye opening. This is why I created this piece to play on these concepts in my own way and using my own experiences. My role: Design, Concept, Illustration
