GRAPHIC DESIGN

GRAPHIC DESIGN | branding logos

Logos represent the face of a business or event and help the audience to connect with the product or service. This set of logos that I have created best illustrate my design sensibilities, commercially focused clean, minimal, considered design.

GRAPHIC DESIGN | packaging soap club Soap Club is a Melbourne based brand specialising in Natural, Cruelty Free, Australian made skin care, Soap Club was looking to create environmentally conscious packaging for it’s new range of bar soaps as well as updating and refreshing their current branding and packagings which includes business cards, liquid soap packaging, gift wrap, stickers and soap stamps.

For Soap Club I worked with it’s founder Zibby Valtenbergs to create packaging that reflected the brands ideals of using ‘minimal and considered ingredients’ to create packaging that is refined, thoughtful and environmentally sustainable.

GRAPHIC DESIGN | events emergence Emergence exhibition is a LaLuna Youth Arts event happening in Townsville, Cairns and Mackay. The event brings together artists and scientists to create new digital media artworks.

Emergence already had a basic logo and fonts chosen when I came onto the project. From there I have used these stylistic elements to create invitations, e-invites, collateral posters and a catalogue for both print and web.

PHOTOGRAPHY | personal work landscapes

My practice consists of photography and graphic design as well as video, animation and sculptural installations.

I use landscapes as an opportunity to reflect on my practice in a broader way and add a cathartic experience to the photographic process.

The image to the left is a part of a new series of work that looks at the human impact on the Australian landscape.

PHOTOGRAPHY | personal work portraits

Portraits were my first entry into photography and inspired me to follow a career, camera in hand.

There is something really personal about taking a photo of someone, not only the capturing process but also the editing process creates an intimacy that is generally not experienced in everyday life.

Portraits will always make up a part of my practice with the camera as they offer me the opportunity to really see people and capture the people I really care about.
