‘Design is heart work.’ My design beliefs wrapped up in a type-based animated design manifesto! The biggest challenge I faced wasn’t even using After Effects for the first time (though that was difficult at points), but listening to the sound of my own voice over and over again 😵‍💫😵‍💫 #motiongraphic #kinetictypography #animation #graphicdesign #communicationdesign #motiondesign #adobeaftereffects

A little motion experiment from the type animation studio I took this semester! Motion = another area of the map unlocked in my brain. #animation #kinetictype #typeanimation #communicationdesign #adobe #adobeaftereffects

‘My Brain as a Fridge’ Publication Me: If my brain was a physical organisation system, what would it be? My dad: A fridge. My Studio Knowledge Object publication for Book Cover Design took the form of a fridge, as a metaphor for my mind containing all the different lessons I had learnt in the course of the studio. Each lesson in the “freezer” has a corresponding visual on each page of the “fridge”. As the two sections can flip independently of each other, I decided to make it a funky matching game. Best part is when you hold a light to the back, it really does look like a fridge!! Thank you tracing paper. #publicationdesign #graphicdesign #design #communicationdesign #zine #bookdesign #illustration

‘Gentle and Fierce’ book cover series A trilogy of book cover designs for 3 chapters of ‘Gentle and Fierce’ by Vanessa Berry. Each animal casts a (sort of) human shadow, reflecting the close relationship between the author and the animals she encountered. This process had me making animals out of cardboard and holding a torchlight to the wall for an undisclosed amount of time to get a sense of the shadows, but I really enjoyed the hands-on-ness of it. #graphicdesign #communicationdesign #bookcover #bookcoverdesign #design

‘Intertwined’ A photographic body of work on memory and how we remember things in pieces, fragments and moments that form the whole “picture”. Each image is made of 2 photos I printed out and weaved together, then scanned back in. Accompanying these photos is a poem and illustrations that turn the words into visuals. Shoutout to my lovely friends for agreeing to be some of my photo subjects 😁😁 #photoseries #paperweaving

‘Superbloom’ Based on this series of 4 artworks, Superbloom was a mini campaign created with the goal of cultivating a love for nature in young people, inspiring them to plant more flowers, be more environmentally-conscious and adopt a joy for gardening. Each piece was created using (mostly) paper collage w a smidge of digital collage too, featuring balloon flowers, lily of the valley, peonies and buttercups. The campaign included 4 different flower-planting kits aka ‘Bloom Boxes’, and a T-Shirt in a light and dark version. Finally posting all my fav uni projects from the archive 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ pls enjoy this avalanche of work coming your way :) #graphicdesign #illustration #packagingdesign #communicationdesign #design #papercollage
