All Things Cockney

  • Katie McVeigh

My Final Major Project was inspired by my Dad's cockney roots. It consists of a series of limited edition screen and lino prints as well as a book project showcasing the print methodology and research. The dialect has a rich, niche history. The origins became paramount to how each print was created. The nature of the term and its context would decide the materials, style and typefaces chosen. A small book in a Q&A format was also created on a cockney's upbringing in East London. Both books use a playful typographic layout to relate to the dialect and its comical element. This project was included in the MADE IT 2020 exhibition, selected by judges at Short Supply!
