About me

Studying graphic design at Shillington college has changed my life. Since graduating with a degree in Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies (a few years ago), I have wandered, quite literally, around the world. Working in various restaurants, offices and places before returning to the UK with a mission. A mission to channel my skills, gained from self-tuition, curiosity and my degree, into something I have wanted to do since I realised I enjoyed planning a layout of a magazine more than writing the content. I enjoy producing exciting packaging designs that are playful and fun. I have experience in designing magazines and producing online content, to include animations, mainly for the British Heart Foundation. I can’t wait to progress within the constantly evolving, fascinating world of graphic design. I enjoy playing with typography and designing things that improve people’s moods. I hope you enjoy looking at my work and I would love to hear from you in the near future.

Projects

• Editorial DesignOver the past few months I have enjoyed working on the production of various magazines. Here is an example of the work I have produced for the British Heart Foundation charity.
• PackagingPackaging design for organic eggs. Fun and light hearted approach, to help parents encourage their children to eat a healthy breakfast. Taking reference from eggs and soldiers, to incorporate playfulness into eating.
• Carbon WebsiteCarbon emissions information. Using comic books as a reference point, creating a superhero story and game that explains how people can reduce their carbon footprint.
• Fashion Rental CompanyClothes Like fashion rental company. A brand identity for a fashion rental company that will reinvent retail, making high end fashion more accessible to women. Using the idea of a search bar to search for your favourite celebrity outfit.
• Oxford OwlChildren’s book reading event. Advertising for a children’s book reading event, using typography to help adults make learning fun for their children.
• Lunaland ReportAnnual report for the Luna Land theme park. The concept is based on the two differing emotions someone may feel whilst at a theme park; the fear and excitement. With fear being represented in the typography and the excitement being represented through the colour treatment on the imagery.

During the course of my studies I have been able to further my knowledge and expertise in a number of areas. I have filmed, edited, designed, photographed and interviewed. I have grown to love the need for precision and learnt that sometimes this cannot be achieved quickly.
