A live brief set by International Society of Typographic Design asking for students to produce an outcome that demonstrated an eyewitness account of a significant event in time.
In response to this brief, I decided to produce a book that celebrated the significance of graphic designer Ken Garland. I collected a range of words and quotes from ex-colleagues, which allowed the book to take on an eyewitness account of what it was like to work in the studio with such a character.
In the publication, I chose to channel a modern approach that considered Ken Garlands style. I demonstrated this through the use of bright colours and brave imagery.

Self Promotion
For my self promotion I wanted to project a modern aesthetic that considered Black as the primary theme throughout. My business cards use a spot gloss finish that was achieved through print company MOO.
My design in the promotional material is intended to reflect my ethos of slick, clean and bold. If interested in receiving any of the design showed in these photographs I am happy to send out a complimentary package.
SEAFOAM - Demos EP
Music Campaign Release
Below demonstrates another self-initiated project for my band SEAFOAM. I wanted to take the visuals of our artwork in a new direction. Considering a more playful and vibrant approach to the design. These artworks are part of a self-recorded demo EP. My intention was to emanate the DIY and lightheartedness feel that came across during the recording process.
My fellow band mate and fantastic illustrator Thomas Jones is responsible for the brilliant illustrations. My job was to digitalize these and translate these into artwork. Considering a new logo and colour palette that would be the theme of this release.
