ILLUSTRATIONS — NAKITA BECK

Pride-Inspired Facebook covers

Inspired by a popular social media trend, I started a creative project to design a series of custom Facebook banners that combined LGBTQ+ pride flags and Halloween. Each banner is uniquely themed with a Halloween twist, combining the vibrant colors of the pride flags with spooky and festive elements. These banners were meticulously hand-drawn in Adobe Illustrator. I also translated a few of the designs into cellphone backgrounds.

Summer Theme

After receiving enthusiastic feedback on my Halloween-themed Pride designs, a few friends requested summer-themed versions. Embracing this new challenge, I created a series of pool-themed Pride cover photos. This time I wanted to maintain a cohesive look between these graphics, so I opted for a simpler design and followed a similar layout for each one.

Postcard

Smitten Kitten is a beloved local cat-only groomer and supply store. They are well known for their Persian shop cats. I was commissioned to design a postcard to promote their upcoming Customer Appreciation Day sale. Drawing inspiration from one of their adorable shop cats, I featured him as the mascot of the postcard, capturing the essence of Smitten Kitten and their delightful feline companions.
