Communication is a virus

13th international contemporary book fair

Summer Stitch,
13th International Contemporary Book Fair,
20 editions,
March 2010.

I designed and made 20 hot dog fold books for this book fair. My inspiration was the colour red. I developed this further to have a summer and stitched approach to it. Again, over the summer I am hoping to develp this further and experiment with stitching design.

Don't Panic

Don't Panic: Vogue,
Poster Design, 
March 2010.




















Don't Panic send out little brown envelopes crammed full of coll stuff aimed at student and each edition has a poster in it designed by aspiring artists, designer and illustrators etc. This live brief gave me the chance to enter for the Vogue edition. Not too keen on what I produced... but I am happy that I experimented with hand crafted type and an illustration feel.

Collection 100

I created a stop motion animation of 100 marbles... I hope to go back to this over the summer and gets it perfect as it needs some work and a few sequences editing... Check it out!

What if...?

What If...
Graffiti Stencil Design 02

What if a group of Graphic Design students got together to try and solve a problem. Another group project where through research we found that homelessness was a problem... A sector of this was healthcare for the homeless. We designed and created this graffiti to point rough sleepers to free healthcare.

I had done a weeks worth of research into a newspaper story on Pavlopetri, a real underwater city which may have been the inspiration for Atlantis. From this research, I created 3 posters (1 image, 1 type and 1 type and image) and a mailshot. The mailshot was to be posted to head teachers at primary schools to try and get them to teach the kids more about our underwater world.

Alphabet soup

Compress - I had to create a series of 10 letterforms to communicate and explore this word based on the manipulation of an existing typeface. I chose to manipulate Poplar Std/Black.

Ross Allman - I had to further create a typeface for one of my classmates. This also had to be based on an existing typeface and I interviewed my partner Ross to get an understanding of his personality/character and references. I manipulated Arial Black but think I lost the plot when it came to colour!

How to...

How to... live with people who you don't like. In September 08, my first course project was a group project in which we found out that trying to make the situation better, rather that resolving the issue was a more effective approach.

Alphabet: Hazel

Over the Summer in 2009 I had to create an alphabet to represent myself for the start of my Graphic Design degree at Leeds College of Art. I wanted to use 3D effect and had learned a bit about this at Jigsaw. Each letter stood for something particular to me.

Letterform D from my summer alphabet.
