42nd Street Pencil Case Project

  • Ellie Samson

This assigned live brief was an opportunity to work together with 42nd street and poet, Lemm Sissay, who were hosting a Christmas Party for sixty young people. 42nd Street is a non-profit young people's mental health charity. This included me designing and producing six innovative pencil cases, suitable for the age range (18-25) and gender neutral. I based my imagery on my view and the landscape of Manchester. From this I developed a colour palette based on the skyline and worked on adding texture to my prints to elevate the work. I had to focus on practicality and design whilst developing these pieces.
