Learn how to create expressive images by exploring identity and iconic references through storytelling, from initial concept to final edit
David Ayllon is many things — a creative director, a graphic designer, a photographer, and perhaps most importantly, a superhero aficionado. While growing up, David was enamored by comic books and professional wrestling, falling in love with larger than life characters and fantastical worlds at an early age. His work has been featured on the cover of Communication Arts, as well as within Huffington Post, OUT Magazine, Creative Quarterly, and Playboy Magazine. He's also worked with huge names in the drag community such as Bob the Drag Queen, Trixie Mattel, and Sasha Velour.
