My practice revolves around the designs we see in the everyday – the community noticeboards, the lost dog posters, the travel agent shop windows – and the banal aesthetic that comes with it. As a recent graduate, I am entering an industry that has it’s creativity stifled by the hand of commercial viability. I observe and work with this Bob-from-the-fish-market anti-aesthetic in rebellion of the clean, safe graphics created by the pressure to make money and explore the possibilities of novel ways of designing in a sea of clean lines and sans serif.
Projects
- 3 Act Play on Everyday Design: Bureau d'BureauIn the form of a three-act play combining the visual and verbal, Bureau d’Bureau examines the presence and purpose of design in the commonplace. It probes the narratives of everyday design aesthetics, such as the charmingly uncouth vernacular pieces found on notice boards and in marketplaces, and situates them in juxtaposition to the overly commercial, obliviously ridiculous designs created by bureaucratic baboons.
- Spotify WorldPlayAs self-proclaimed culture vultures (and poor sods in dire need of a holiday) we created WorldPlay, a feature which allows listeners to experience places through the music the locals listen to. Stick your nose into niche back-alley beats of Nice or peruse over small-town tunes in Lake Tahoe. Explore the world through melody on our WorldPlay Map whilst leaving a musical mark in your own area. View your chosen destination through the lens of the locals with user-generated reels and facts.
