About me

My name is Lois and I'm a Graphic Designer from Bridgend. I have always had a love for Graphic Design and the way that it brings excitement and captivates the public. Through studying for my degree, I have had the opportunity to produce designs for a variety of projects and inspire others, whilst ensuring my work is always the best that it can be. I like to approach things from new perspectives and push the boundaries of what design can be. I enjoy generating designs around taboo topics, empowering others and encouraging social change. I am adaptable, approachable and enjoy working on a variety of different projects, giving me the opportunity to challenge myself.

  Packaging Re-BrandAs a university given project, I decided to re-design the packaging for Tesco's own juice. I decided to give the design a more modern appearance and played on the idea of creating packaging that would appeal to people in the design industry. The final designs are simple, minimal and make bold use of colour to create something eye-catching for the shelves.
