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.





Tilt was part of a University brief that asked students to form groups and produce an identity that we felt best represented ourselves as a team. As a group of three, we were required to produce printed promotional material and a website that was fully functional.
Myself and fellow team members formed the identity for fictional design studio ‘Tilt’. The studio’s ethos considered a friendly, efficient and professional approach to design.
Tilt took on an identity that consisted of simple, clean and slick branding which reflected the work we would produce
