- Cover DesignHandmade Project *student brief* Brief: To create a cover for a book that summorizes the theme while focusing on using handmade techniques and processes. Process: The Thirteenth Tale is a gothic story about an established family, but also an ode to reading and literature. The choice to use lightbulbs is to take an everyday object and make use question what seems normal. The fragility of the bulbs helps illustrate how precious and breakable life is.
- Festival IdentityAlfred Hitchock - BFI Festival *student brief* Brief: To develop a unique visual identity for the BFI festival focusing on Alfred Hitchock and his films. Process: Building on the concept of a dopleganger in his films, the goal was to create something that recreated that feeling of normal, to unease. A slight shift that slowly progressed into chaos. Beginning with the brochure that snacks around and is unexpected in how it opens, to all the accompanying visual identity.
- Editorial LayoutMAYBE: Unconventional Travel Destinations *student brief* Brief: To create a unique and experimental look for Time Out's new mini series for unconventional travel destinations, highlighting Oak Ridge. Process: Exploring the idea of a town fractured from the surrounding area and its multifaceted, yet oddly connected, community. This concept lead the visuals to fractured images, broken through the use of a geometric shape.
