PORTFOLIO WEBSITE!
My name is Kristina Zenga and I am a graphic designer from Easton, Pennsylvania. I am currently at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design. I really enjoy studio art such as drawing, painting, printmaking, and photography.
MY LATEST WORK
I rebranded the nonprofit organization Easton Urban Farm. Easton Urban Farm is a community based effort. Their mission is “to encourage residents to access healthy food through purchase, cultivation, and sharing.” Below are also the designed stationery items.

MANSFIELD UNIVERSITY’S
JURIED STUDENT ART EXHIBITION 2022
Image Translation: Nike Air Force 1 won third place in the exhibition.
This series is a combination of four different pieces. Each work is 16 x 20 inches. All are images of Nike’s Air Force 1’s.
The first piece (top left) is a realistic drawing of the sneaker using graphite pencils. To replicate the shoe, a grid system was used. I thoroughly enjoyed this part of the project. I always find myself getting immersed in my work when drawing with a pencil.
The second piece (top right) is a value drawing using grayscale markers. I did a lot of sketching to determine what color placement I liked best. Working on the final piece was a bit scary because the markers are permanent, but I’m happy with how it turned out.
The third piece (bottom left) is a graphic drawing using india ink. This is my least favorite out of the series. I’d like to go back and redo it. Similar to the earlier piece, I did a lot of sketch work to determine the placement of my lines and shapes.
The fourth and final piece (bottom right) is a typographic digital drawing using Adobe Illustrator. This was a tedious process, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. To create the sneaker, I used Nike’s slogan, “Nike Just Do It” over and over again. I used clipping masks and the ‘type on a path’ tool. I am very happy with how this turned out.
