Here's a quick peek at some of my work spanning all the way back to my first year of university.
Sewing Machine Museum
This brief asked us to pick an unusual or new museum and create a visual identity for it.
My own was for the Sewing Machine Museum, which was inspired by 1950s sewing patents and the vintage Singer sewing machines.
Lift movement
This brief we were asked to animate words in a way that would emphasise their meaning, similar to Onomatopoeia's.
The second word was "Lift" where I animated it to close its doors and rise upwards.
#Men Can
This brief asked us to tackle an issue in a group setting as a design for good project.
As an all female group we decided to fight toxic masculinity by creating a campaign showing men can be things other than masculine. #MenCanBeSensitive
Grandparents house
This was another sense of place brief over lock down but more focused on a singular place.
I chose my grandparents as it was the one and only place we visited whilst restrictions were lifted. It makes use of cut outs and hand stitched binding for a rustic and old effect.
Dream Drops Children Charity
This brief asked us to select a local charity and rebrand it to bring in more support.
My local charity was Dream Drops, which raises money to help children and their parents through hospital stays. I made the brand more modern and poppy, with round visuals to play off the name.
Ocean plastics infographic
For this brief we were asked to base a infographic off an issue we felt was important.
I chose ocean plastics and was inspired by the designer Nikoli Senin and his use of bright and contrasting colours in bleak imagery.
Tranquility app
This brief was out very first UX project where we were taught how to design apps.
My own was inspired around a wellness app where you would take care of a plant by first taking care of yourself. Each task you did would earn water or sunlight and was supposed to calm down the user.
Typographic collection
This brief we were asked to find a collection of different typefaces that had an overarching theme.
As a university student I had an abundance of typefaces from alcohol bottles where I created a David Carson inspired portfolio.
Break movement
This brief we were asked to animate words in a way that would emphasise their meaning, similar to Onomatopoeia's.
I chose the word "Break" and have it swing and break off at its joints.
Typographic poster
This brief we were asked to design a poster around a fact from a specific typeface.
My own was Garamond, this typeface has the most amount of variations of itself, going as far as companies owning their own version.
A dog walk
This brief took place in lock down where we were asked to create a sence of place magazine about something we did or went.
As activities were limited I based my own around the copious dog walks I had gone on, as well as the route round my village during the winter months.
One word poster
This was the very first brief I had in university. We were given a word to create a dynamic poster out of.
My own was "social" and rather than go for the obvious route It was a comment on social distancing during the pandemic.
