Projects
- St Mary's Church Oxted RebrandI was asked to bring St Mary's Church in Oxted to the 21st Century, and make it more enticing to newcomers and young people. Using inspiration from the blue stained glass windows within the church, I came up with a modern shard pattern using various shades of blue with a style that has a sleek current look, whilst still hinting at its traditional history. This project included web design, photography, print design and branding. Visit: stmarysoxted.uk
- David Lynch: A Retrospective ScreeningThis is a project that was entered into the 2015 D&AD New Blood competition, for a brief set by Monotype. The brief was to create a new language of communication for advertising a screening of three or more of a particular director's films. The catch was that the designs could only use typography - no imagery was allowed to feature. I chose to honour the remarkable David Lynch, and created a series of posters that reflect and challenge the generic film poster layout. The main theme behind the poster designs was to present the mixed opinions and theories of the viewers, in order to capture the essence of Lynch's works. The film titles each represent the storyline and themes behind their respective films (spoilers?). Also created were a series of digital animations to be projected onto the screen prior to the showing, and during intermissions. My choice of host for the event was Wilton's Music Hall in London (well worth a visit), which also functions as a bar. I produced some small flyers to be placed over the tables there to attract attention and intrigue.
- The Drum AppBeing a drummer and teacher, I wanted to invent a new way to learn drums that would enable anyone to play, no matter their skill level or prior knowledge of music. I achieved this through simplifying the way we read music, throwing out the stave entirely. The posters here present simple beats for popular tunes that you can play yourself with your hands and feet! Test the prototype - marvelapp.com/767ah9
