Ellie Humphreys is a visual communicator based near London. Much of her personal work is inspired by her social perspective of the world around her, she especially enjoys working on projects that will develop a conversation.
Her past studies in Performance Design and Graphic Design and Illustration in Liverpool have equipped her to be very versatile in her ideas and she is therefore not afraid to produce work using new materials and processes. She believes that the experience had whilst developing her design concepts is integral to the effectiveness of her designs and always aims to come up with unique design solutions whilst still keeping a connection with her audience. She has a passion for everything creative and loves the opportunity of challenging herself on new projects.

Much of her portfolio takes the form of editorial and print work however she has also had experience in website design, video and photography.
Projects
- Trash Talk!'Trash Talk!' is a campaign developed for a proposed conservation charity, 'Save Our Oceans'. The campaign consists of four poster designs, a suggested design style for a magazine and a design for an eco friendly reusable shopping bag. The intention of 'Trash Talk!' is to highlight the ever-growing problem of plastic waste in our oceans. The posters would encourage the audience to visit the 'Save Our Oceans' website where they could then purchase one of the bags.
