Aslanova's study of fine art greatly informs her graphic design work. Throughout her college career she explored different mediums to find the best communication method. Greatly influenced by those experiences, Aslanova continues in her professional career to incorporate unconventional printing methods and non-traditional materials in order to visually stimulate, challenge, and excite her audience and community at large.

This experience had a great impact on her work and played an imperative role in defining her as the visual communicator and designer she is today.
