Welcome to my

Design

Portfolio

Welcome, my name is Ethan Rayment! I am a creative who’s based in Hamilton, Ontario, and specializes in graphic design, photography and videography.

Here you’ll find a collection of my projects, both professional and personal, which I have had the pleasure to work on!

A Little About Me

My journey as an artist began in 2020, when I was struggling to find ways to occupy my time during the pandemic. Luckily, I was able to buy a camera and began using different editing platforms to experiment with the images I collected.

Later I completed a four-year undergraduate degree at McMaster, and found endless opportunities to push my creativity and use my artwork to fulfill needs. Whether that was providing content for the student cafe which I worked at, or creating posters for the band I joined around that time, I kept myself learning up till graduation.

Since then, I have taken on contract work for the McMaster Students Union as a graphic designer and photographer, and began to dive into freelance work as well. As things stand, I am always looking for opportunities to challenge myself and further grow my style!

My Designs

Social Media + Print Works

In this section, you’ll find sample of my own artworks I developed while working as a communications officer for the McMaster Students Union, or MSU.

Most of the designs I created in this role include promotional materials for some of the MSU’s key events and initiatives.

Personal + Volunteer Projects

App Concept: Oracle

Here you will see a pair of conceptual designs I prepared as part of a project for my undergraduate studies at McMaster. The goal was to design and pitch an app which would cater to a specific fanbase. In this case, the app would cater to communities built around the young adult franchise Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

For the design portion, I created a logo for the app, as well as the mobile layout for the site.

Poster Print: Impact Brass

40th Anniversary Concert

This piece marks one of the first designs I volunteered to create. While I was a member of a youth brass band called Impact Brass, I offered to try and create an advertisement for a concert marking the bands 40th anniversary.

Since the tone of the event was nostalgic and would feature former conductors, I designed the poster to evoke a wall of polaroid’s. In hindsight, I would trim down the text and reduce the clutter in the backdrop, but as a first design, it feels good to look back and see how far I’ve come!
