I'm Rosa Louise Parkes, a graphic designer and fashion blogger based in London. I most recently graduated Croydon School Of Art with a degree in Graphic Design/Visual Communication.
I have had the experience of working across multiple creative disciplines and processes, both on screen and print but I welcome any new challenges and tasks to help expand my skills and knowledge. I love constructing ideas and concepts that are grounded and thought provoking with a high level of design quality and detail.
From editorials to creating a single logo, I enjoy learning in all fields of design with a sleeves rolled-up attitude. When I'm not designing, you'll find me writing for my style blog, experimenting with photography or reading a good book.

The 39 paged digital tabloid explores the history of the 20th century, from 1910 - 1990, in a simplified format. Each section, from the typography to the colours used, is a reflection of the unique, individual look of each d
- Still Life PhotographyA self-initiated project that I decided to take on since I am self-learning. I love experimenting with aperture, ISO and different camera settings, anything to help me become a better photographer. Here are various floral still life photos that I have taken with my Canon 1100d and a 50mm f/1.4 lens
