My name is George Phillott, and this year I finished my studies at Anglia Ruskin University Cambridge School of Art, where I studied a BA (Hons) degree in graphic design. During my three years at Anglia Ruskin University, I was educated in the field of, design process, discipline, and practice, which I excelled in along with application and publish design, I also became knowledgeable in printmaking, typography, and colour contrasting, also became well versed in design applications such Adobe Illustrator, InDesign Photoshop and Adobe XD.
My primary interest is in graphic design but I am also interested in photojournalism, portraiture/promotional material, and live performance concerts. I have great ambition to be a published designer with a keen interest in designing magazines and book covers as well as the possibility of brand design, and UX design.
Projects
- PebbleMy aim was to create a concept design of an African-Caribbean supermarket brand that is both visually friendly and inviting. After researching other brands, I decided on the name to be Pebble. The visual style, is influenced by Japanese lanterns, and the typeface used features letterforms with low stroke contrast, square proportions with a structure that appears visually simple. The mission of this design is to change the perception of African-Caribbean supermarket shops in the western world, b
- Pulchritudo (My Final Major Project)This was my final major project at Cambridge Regional College The aim was to celebrate natural beauty and to reflect this, there is no extreme editing in my photographs, unlike beauty and fashion magazines. I have strong opinions against the way fashion magazines and social media show what they think that ‘ideal women’ should look like and, ultimately, this is what inspired me to do this project. I called the project “Pulchritudo” which translates into Latin for beauty.
- EJK Hand Crafted Leather Goods CatalogueThis was a project that I was heavily involved in, I was the photographer and I also designed the catalogue. I was approached by Emma Koch to take photographs of her handmade leather products, to show potential clients. This project allowed me to display my skills as a photographer and as a graphic designer.
