Jekyll & Hyde is an Illustration project created to promote the 1990 musical based on the 1886 novella The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. I approached this design with the intent of visually communicating the internal struggle at the heart of “Jekyll & Hyde.” I wanted the viewer’s eye to naturally move from one side of the piece to the other, mirroring the internal journey of the characters. The design is not just a visual representation; it’s an immersive narrative that invites the audience to explore the complex interplay between light and darkness within the human psyche.

Trust the Therapy is an illustration project created to serve as both a celebration and a reflective homage to the dark, psychologically charged universe of Outlast Trials. Central to the composition is the figure, clearly marked by visible restraint—Doctor Hendrick J. Easterman, the main antagonist. The restrained figure becomes a metaphor for the loss of freedom experienced by Easterman’s manipulation of trusting him. At the same time, he blinds the figure in a veil of lies, evoking a sense of vulnerability and helplessness.

These series of Batman posters are originally a commission I produce for a close friend of mine who requested a character set posters that they could display in their home. The main goal going into this project was to keep one theme in mind: Mystery, as well keeping poster set to one character that reflects on who they are. I chose to use the Brutalism style for this project as I wanted to keep the mysterious and dark tone for the posters.

FruttaVita is soda company that provides consumers with authentic sparkling soda, for those who wish to have a little taste of Italy. FruttaVita was made to provide 100% healthy indigredients, including natural fruits, providing consumers a refreshing taste. The term “FruttaVita” means literally “Fruit Life,” and the brand reinforces this concept with an orange being its anchor. Having chosen an orange wasn’t arbitrary; it’s evocative of the lush, sun-drenched citrus generally associated with the Mediterranean, which says freshness, vitality, and a dash of natural flair.

I aimed to create a cohesive, visually compelling identity that reflects who I am. The focal point of this design is the stylized “GB” logo, representing my full-name “Gabriela Buraglia.” The vibrant gradient pink, was not only chosen due to being my favourite colour, but also to present a soft feminine aesthetic. I wanted my personal brand to blend modernity with an organic charm, ensuring that it resonates authentically across digital platforms, print materials, and more.

"Restoration" is an illustration project created to represent the fragile boundary between genuine faith and fervent fanaticism through the figure of Father Paul Hill from Midnight Mass. The composition centers on a dramatic chiaroscuro: bright, cool light illuminates Father Paul's visage, while deep shadows swirl around his cassock. By isolating him at the moment of divine communion—with arms raised and an ethereal halo— the work invites viewers to question whether restoration of spirit can slip into self-appointed messianism. The choice of the word "RESTORATION" in the background underscores the community's yearning for renewal and the peril of placing blind trust in charismatic leadership. The halo—rendered as fractured, glowing rings—suggests both sacred authority and the cracks in his conviction. Collectively, these elements merge religious iconography and tension, evoking the supernatural undercurrents of the series.

Carnevale di Venezia is an Illustration project created to celebrate the annual Carnevale di Venezia in Venice, Italy, which originated in 1162 as a celebration of a military victory. The carnival is known for its elaborate masks and costumes, which historically allowed people of all social classes to mix and mingle freely. The piece centers around a masked figure clothed in an ornate red and orange costume—a visual metaphor for the passion, grandeur, and mystery of the event. I carefully selected rich reds and oranges to evoke vitality and celebration, but also contrasted with the cooler, more subdued tones I used in the background—a gradient transitioning from light blue to soft beige. Every element in the composition was purposefully arranged to guide the viewer’s gaze. I positioned the masked figure slightly off-center to underscore the intricate detail of the costume and mask, making it the undeniable focal point of the design. Additionally, I incorporated elements like gondolas and subtle architectural cues that gently steer the viewer’s attention through the overall layout. This arrangement imbues the piece with a sense of movement and depth while ensuring that every detail reinforces the cultural storytelling inherent to Carnevale di Venezia.
