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.

This is a recent project that I undertook for a client who came to me requesting card printouts that could be given to relatives and friends informing them of their new home, address and
contact details.
After requesting for stills of the outside of their home, I was able to get to work on a flat illustration that visually demonstrated the bungalow in the form of a logo mark.
After spending most of my time working on digital projects, it was great to get my teeth back into a print related project. Although this is just a small branding task, I was very pleased with the results and thoroughly enjoyed the process that came with it.
