My name is Danielle and I am a creative problem-solver and a quirky, astrophile enthusiast who loves graphic design. Specializing in logo design & brand identity, has shown me how to balance different projects in a fast-paced environment. When not designing above all else, I find myself completely immersed in a good sci-fi flick which inspires many of my expansive ideas. However, whether stargazing or designing, I’m passionate about spreading hope and creativity into the galaxy through wit, imagination and a lot of graphic design. May the Force Be With You.

My name is Danielle Galindo and I enjoy telling stories through graphic design. I designed the Paralysis movie posters as a series to express the paralyzing fears, complexities and expectations that come with making decisions for the future. As it is a 3-part series, each title is set in three stages of emotions:
- Paralysis (feeling numb and held down)
- Paralyzed (the inability to move)
- Paradox (realizing that feeling like this is just another oddity in life)
Working in Photoshop really lends itself to the magic and mysteries of the sci-fi genre. When trying to portray an abstract idea or specific emotion through photography, I typically always use dark and eerie undertones to describe the theme in life. Influences like photographer Gregory Crewdson, who creates haunting and cinematic stories through tableau photography has inspired me to look at photography in a completely different way. As sometimes it can seem as easy as snapping a quick photo with a feeling in mind, the true story-telling comes after editing and digesting the photos to see if they are still portraying the intended emotions set in the beginning.
This series is unique because it comes from a very vulnerable and sacred place that is not focused on the job or task at hand, but used a mirror to show what many people feel in a subtle and hidden way. It’s like everyday life. Everyone feels afraid and paralyzed by fear, but we hide it really well.
When using photo-manipulation as art, it takes me from a place of marketing a product to telling real stories about the human condition. In a way, it is very cathartic for me to create works that are inspired by raw and sometimes scary, untapped emotions but depicting it in a beautiful and graceful way.
That’s truly the paradox of life.
