Projects
  • The Method Podcast visual identity
    The Method Podcast visual identityI decided to create the visual identity for a podcast that focuses on the creative industry. I always felt students were not given a good insight into the creative industries and felt that this put a lot of students at a disadvantage once they graduate. Thus, the method podcast was created to change this. This podcast gives an insight into each avenue in the creative industry by speaking to professionals and answering questions from viewers.
  • Nike blazer promotional campaign
    Nike blazer promotional campaignNike blazers have always been one of my favourite trainers so I decided I wanted to create a promotional campaign with them. The versatility of the trainers as well as how iconic the shape is was always something that stood out to me and I wanted to show this in each of the outcomes. I photographed the trainers in different locations around London, experimenting with my background and composition in order to find the best photos for my outcomes.
  • Ken Sugimori : the story of pokemon
    Ken Sugimori : the story of pokemonFor one of our university projects, we were given the opportunity to create a book inspired by any artist/designer of our choice. I decided to base my book on Ken Sugimori, one of the creative directors for Pokemon. Growing up, I was a big fan of the franchise because of how well they built the in-game world. I wanted my book to reflect this so the illustration, font, text box and colours were the same as the games.

I was given the responsibility of creating a logo, choosing the appropriate brand colour, creating social media posts and mock ups for the client.
