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 - Outside
Music Campaign Release
SEAFOAM is a newly formed band which features myself playing the drums. As a member of the band, I had an idea for the creative direction in which we wanted to portray and was keen to take on the responsibility of all artwork and branding. With this being a very close project to me, I considered a clean, fun, elegant and appealing design that best reflected the dreamy sounds featured in our music.
As well as the physical album artwork, I have created a body of work that has led to great engagement online and attracted a range of music industry professionals towards the band.
Here features a social media post, tour poster, and two music videos shot and edited by myself.
