[ Graphic Design Introduction Demo Reel == Made By: Derrick D. Aviles == Programs Used: After Effects, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop & Flash ]
I have spent the majority of my life creating and designing art. Heavily inspired by retro video games and music,
I bring a style of new genre into the world of graphic design influenced by the likes of Edvard Munch, Wassily Kandinsky,
Andy Warhol and Mike Shinoda into a new decade of time that will inform, inspire, and impress.
