Hello,
I'm Jay Harris - Art Director, Filmmaker & Lecturer.
Currently, I am a Lecturer of Fashion Communication & Promotion at Nottingham Trent University, Practitioner of Design for Art Direction at the University of the Arts London and freelance Art Director specialising in creative and branding projects spanning moving image, photography and social media.
Over the years, I have gained invaluable experience in Creative Direction, Cinematography, Print and Production. It is the combination of good design sense and imagination, sensitivity and diplomacy that has allowed me to conceptualise ideas and become the Art Director I am today. Creativity is storytelling, and storytelling is what I do.

- Breakout RhapsodyBreakout Rhapsody was created to not only reflect on Mélodie’s own experiences as a Performer but mainly to disrupt the status quo of the classical music realm and introduce it to a new audience. Classical music can and is both fashionable and invigorating. Mélodie began studying the piano at the age of three and by the age of thirteen was already working towards her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music at the Geneva University of Music which she obtained at the age of fourteen with the highest hon
- Trend ReportConducted from my research at Berlin Fashion Week and briefed as a means to gain an understanding of the different trends and the reasoning for their timely emergence, this report identifies and visually communicates nine trends within the Visual merchandising & In-store sector as well as the Print & Graphic and Sportswear for the Autumn/Winter 2016 season.

- Mutt MagazineChampioning an aesthetic inspired by the exuberant energy of dogs, Mutt Magazine was created in response to our compassion for the cause. Embedding my love of editorial design, vibrant colour and photography, Mutt Magazine is a new niche publication, celebrating rescue dogs by peeking through the keyholes of families and their happy hounds, offering an undocumented glimpse into their second chance at a forever home.
