My name is Samay Shanmugham and I\u2019m a Design student at Freestyle Academy. Outside of school and Freestyle, I\u2019m an active member of my community and participate in a multitude of extracurricular activities. I\u2019m passionate about finance, golf, mixing music, and creating digital art\u2014interests that keep me curious, creative, and engaged in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my showcase project, I wanted to feature a project that I was proud of and that represented my time at Freestyle. Because of its interdisciplinary nature, many of my Freestyle projects have overlapping elements from my three classes: English, Digital Media, and Design. Ultimately, I decided on my Narrative Book Jacket project because it was based on work done in both English and Design, and I\u2019m proud of how it turned out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you so much for taking the time to review my work, I look forward to hearing your feedback!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/annotated-Samay20Shanmugham20Book-1-1024x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/annotated-Samay20Shanmugham20Book-1-1024x467.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/annotated-Samay20Shanmugham20Book-1-300x137.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/annotated-Samay20Shanmugham20Book-1-768x350.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/annotated-Samay20Shanmugham20Book-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-06-at-10.39.31\u202fAM-1024x526.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-06-at-10.39.31\u202fAM-1024x526.png 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-06-at-10.39.31\u202fAM-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-06-at-10.39.31\u202fAM-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~SamayS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-06-at-10.39.31\u202fAM.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">Editing my project in Adobe InDesign<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Showcase Video<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">In this video, I talk about my inspiration and ideas which went into making this book jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 25 p8 Showcase SamayS\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pCoP06NBf8Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Reel<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">My reel features a variety of projects from my junior and senior years at Freestyle. I chose projects that demonstrated a range of my work. The works in this video were made using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, and the video was produced in After Effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"24 25 p8 Reel SamayS\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iPU9MCSzivQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past two years, I\u2019ve grown tremendously as a creative thinker and visual storyteller. Freestyle has given me the freedom to explore a wide range of artistic disciplines\u2014from digital art to music production\u2014and that creative exploration has become a defining part of who I am. Next year, I\u2019ll be attending Indiana University Bloomington to study finance, and I truly believe the creative mindset I developed at Freestyle will set me apart. Whether I\u2019m analyzing markets, building business strategies, or designing presentations, the ability to think visually, tell compelling stories, and approach problems from unique angles will be invaluable. Freestyle has equipped me with not only technical skills but also confidence in my creative potential, and I feel ready and excited for the next chapter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to my page!
