As a graphic designer, applying Hubert Rampersad’s principles of authentic personal branding means aligning my creative work with my core values and personal vision. My most standing ability is illustration and coloring, and by defining my purpose I can develop a style that reflects my identity rather than just following trends. Consistency in communication, through the way I present my illustrations and use color to tell stories, will strengthen my credibility and make my brand memorable. Adaptability and empathy will help me collaborate effectively, respond to challenges with innovation, and maintain resilience in a competitive industry. In this way, my personal brand becomes not just a showcase of technical skills but a genuine extension of my identity as a designer.

In the future, I am interested to become an food and beverages illustrator, personally a skill that is important to be implemented, Growth mindset and Integrity. Growth mindset is important for designers because as the world continues to progress and develop, we need to be open towards new things and Integrity is also important, even though we will grow with the world and society we still need to hold our values and not be swayed by opinions that may cloud our judgements.

In the future, I plan to become an educator for children specifically in art. After listening to Rampersad's principles in authentic personal branding, I believe that this certain career enables me to be most fulfilled. My strongest quality is actually organization/planning and being creative and being almost able in handling multiple medias in art, and with this line of work, it enables me to stay in touch with my emotional intelligence, along with empathy and patience while not compromising my skills in organizing and ability in art. Being in this line of profession was certainly not a part of my original plans, however I believe God is so lovely and wonderful for allowing me to work multiple jobs at once, for if I did not get the opportunity, I would certainly not choose this job, and I wouldn't understand what it means to be able to stay in touch with the things you're good at and growing as a person while at the same time, helping others to grow better as an individual, and an artist.

This poster reflects Indonesia’s current conflicts in 2025 through strong and symbolic imagery. At the center, a clenched fist grips a torn banknote, representing the struggle of ordinary people against corruption and economic injustice. The presence of black rats gnawing at the money and crawling across the scene symbolizes corrupt figures who feed off public resources, spreading greed and decay. The background, dominated by deep red tones, conveys both the anger of the people and the violence of systemic oppression, while the looming black skyscrapers depict a cold, corrupted cityscape controlled by power and wealth. Together, these elements form a bold critique of Indonesia’s ongoing struggles with corruption, inequality, and exploitation, while the raised fist stands as a call for unity, resistance, and the pursuit of justice in a time of crisis.

I want to become an illustrator because I have a strong interest and talent in creating visual artworks. One example is my illustration work for Mustika Ratu, where I combined traditional Indonesian aesthetics with modern artistic concepts. Through this piece, I learned how to use colors, shapes, and composition to convey a mood and tell a story visually.
This experience made me realize that illustration is not just about creating beautiful images, but also about expressing ideas and emotions through visuals. Therefore, I want to continue developing my skills as an illustrator, so I can create works that are both artistic and meaningful.

I wanted to be a graphic designer in the future. Hubert emphasized that personal branding must be authentic, starting from within, not just selling yourself in a fake way. This means, as an aspiring graphic designer, you need to discover your own values, dreams, and visual style, then translate them into your work. From there, your creative identity will be recognized, not just because of trends or empty promotions, but because of the authenticity of the ideas you consistently bring to life.

In the future, my profession will be as an illustrator, animator, and freelancer, where I can freely express my ideas and imagination through art. The brush and color palette in this image symbolize the creativity I carry to create meaningful and colorful illustrations. The fish swimming in the sky represent the world of animation, where I can bring characters and stories to life with movement and captivating visuals.

The scattered learning tools reflect the continuous process of gaining knowledge, which will be my foundation to live independently. This also represents my spirit as a freelancer, where I will have the freedom to choose projects that match my passion and direct my own career path.

With this determination, I want to make art not just a profession, but a way to color my life, share inspiration, and create a positive impact for others.

In the future, I want to be an illustration designer, because an illustration can convey the story behind the image that is created. As can be seen in the picture, there is a mother holding her child, which signifies the depth of a mother's love for her child. A mother is someone who is so instrumental in each of her children that she wants them to always be happy. And the Polaroid photo in the background represents the many memories that have been made together. I believe that with this illustration, there is plenty of space for anyone who wants to convey their message.

To be honest, I never really planned to enter the Visual Communication Design program at UMN. In a way, I “accidentally” ended up here. But I believe that every step in life has its own meaning and purpose.Although it wasn’t exactly what I imagined at first, I do not regret it. Instead, this path has taught me to look at things with a more open mind. DKV may not have been my first choice, but I believe it is here that I will start building my identity, skills, and experiences that will guide me toward a brighter future.This mini book is a symbol of that journey a tangible proof that every beginning, no matter how unexpected, can become a foundation for something greater. I want it to remind me that success is not determined by how we start, but by how we keep moving forward and never give up.Looking ahead, I aspire to become a successful person who can inspire others, contribute meaningfully, and prove that even an unplanned starting point can lead us to extraordinary goals.

Since i was a child, i have always loved reading illustrated books. I remember getting lost in the pages not only in the stories, but also in the pictures that made everything come alive. The colors, the shapes, and the little details in those drawings made me feel as if i was part of the story itself. From that moment, i began to dream of becoming someone who could create those images myself. I want to create illustrations that feel warm, magical, and meaningful visuals that not only capture the imagination of children but also leave lasting memories in their hearts. My goal is to blend storytelling with art, to build whimsical worlds filled with characters and colors that speak to young readers, just like the books i once held close when i was small.

I chose to focus on the Baskerville typeface, a classic serif font known for its elegance and precision.Through this project, I explored the beauty of Baskerville and how typography alone can tell a compelling story. It also made me realize how much I enjoy layout designorganizing text, creating balance, and playing with visual elements to communicate ideas clearly.This experience deepened my passion for design, and in the future, I hope to create my own brand and continue growing in this creative field.

In the future, I see myself becoming a freelancer. Maybe right now, my works aren’t as impressive as some of my friends’ who are truly amazing, but I believe I can grow like a small cocoon that will one day turn into a beautiful butterfly. I only started getting interested in the world of art back in high school, which felt a bit late for me to begin learning drawing skills. Still, I believe everything is a process, and what keeps me moving forward is the support from God and my family. This artwork, which tells the story of the Timun Mas folktale, might seem like a simple choice, but I love the message behind it especially the love of Mbok Sirini as a mother to Timun Mas. It reminds me so much of my own family. I believe that I am placed in this major not by coincidence, and I truly believe I have the potential to grow in this field. I know I have to keep learning and practicing, but I’m confident that step by step, I’ll get there.

This double exposure artwork was created from a collection of aesthetic photos I took during a trip around Jakarta with my sister. We joined CFD, visited Ancol and PIK, and I captured many moments that felt reflective and urban. I made this piece as part of a semester 1 assignment, using photo edits from my phone to express themes of time, movement, and memory.
