unMask This is a magazine which I created called unMask. The idea behind the magazine is to showcase new talent and recent graduates to fashion buyers. The objective behind the magazine is to showcase young talent in the hope for employment or design sales.

The content of the magazine are actual yonug designers whos dreams are to become discovered in the fashion industry, and this style of magazine is needed within the industry to make that initial jump.

Opus Branding This project is a branding project for the Textiles: Innovation & Design Graduate Degree Show of 2015. The brand itself is called Opus, which means creative work in Latin. The brand was to be created to represent a group of innovative young talented designers and to brand them as modern and professional. The design needed to be contemporary and to be something that they would be happy to showcase themselves into the industry, and the start of their career.

Self-Branding I did a short project to get me ready for the transition between university and graduating into the real design world. This was a short project which gave me the chance to focus on a brand for myself.

How I would like to represent myself, and what style I want to be seen as. I have time to create myself a logo, and to continue the rebrand for a website, portfolio and CV, as well as create business cards. My brand represents a designer with a voice.

Graduate Catalogue This project was a collaboration with Sophie Crawford. Together we were to design the degree show catalogue for Graphic Communication and Illustration class of 2015. The catalogue was to represent each and every student of the course, and to showcase the best of their ability into the industry. The catalogue was to follow the brand guidelines of Raw, and to follow a simple design where the work is the illustrations.

Adult ABC Book This project was one of my first projects when I started at Loughborough University.

I like to include it in my portfolio as it shows how far I have come as a designer during my time at University. This brief was to create an alphabet book for Adults. It was a group project, as we decided to design a Cocktail ABC Book which held recipes for the cocktails listed.

Human Rights This was another early project, but it was a project where I taught myself how to do special effects make-up to create realistic cuts and bruises, rather than created them on Photoshop. It was the addition of a hands-on project where I used models as well as myself and combined photography with design.

The project brief was to take on of the human rights declarations and create a poster or campaign to represent that right.

A Manhattan Fairytale This project was related to a trip to New York. It was a group project where we were to choose a Brothers Grimm fairytale and adapt it to the visual culture of New York City.

We were all to do two double page spreads each, one text and one image dominant.

We chose to work with the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The idea we decided to follow was that of a girl growing up, and the streets of New York acted as the big bad wolf. We played on the idea of loosing track of who you are and how living in such a big city can cause you to loose yourself, and become someone unfamiliar.

Fedrigoni Calendar This was a YCN competition brief, where we were to create a desktop calendar for a graphic designer that advertises Fedrigoni’s new Woodstock paper range.

I decided to look at creating a 3D useable desktop calendar that was completely out of paper. I looked into the fact that Fedrigoni were an international brand, and used buildings of countries that the distributed to as the design base. I created a desktop drawer calendar which had a spinning colour wheel and changeable month cards. It was created entirely out of the Fedrigoni Woodstock paper range.
