About Me
Keith Allen, Jr.
Artist Statement:
As a multimedia designer, I always strive for quality content that is relatable and appealing. A lot of my work consists of conceptual and commercial art with subtle details through graphic design, animation, photography, and videography. Since 2012, I often utilized these mediums to capture or produce art themed around entertainment and culture. I've always been fascinated with the intersection of film, photography, motion graphics, and music. From observing movie and video game trailers to billboards and album covers, I always appreciate the unique design principles that go into the creative process, which ultimately create special moments and experiences for viewers. What sets Keith apart from other designers is his ambition to go above and beyond in order to bring dynamic visuals to life.
