GRAPHIC DESIGN & TYPOGRAPHY Hi there!
Specialising in design for print with a passion for using typography to effectively communicate both conceptually and objectively. An interest in the English language and the link between the written, spoken and designed word, has led me to explore the importance and the application of typography in all my design.
I am at the end of my BA (Hons) degree in Graphic Design at Leeds College of Art, just a few weeks to go, and have my eyes set on London and integrating myself completely into the design community. If you like anything you see in here, or for that matter anything you despise, then please let me know, I am all ears.

Leo Cinicolo Dissertation Brief
Concept
Products
Produce a publication of Leo Cinocolo’s 2010 dissertation. It must be aimed at a creative / intellectual audience who are looking for new opinions to consider in the field of photography theory and critique.
The ambiguous moment is the selection of one frame from a 24fps video, i.e. film. The search for a single frame that captures an equally intricate narrative as an entire film was the drive for the gentle but easy to read layout.

The ambiguous moment
Leo Cinicolo Dissertation The layout follows classic traits of intellectual publishing, taking into consideration footnotes, references, the bibliography and appendix.

The contrast between traditional and contemporary design, reflected through the typography and layout juxtaposes several of the key issues addressed within the dissertation not least of all, searching for the ‘ambiguous moment.’

Promotion and awareness
leeds bike week Every year Leeds hosts a bike week. It aims to encourage people to get on their bikes and spread the simple joy that is of course cycling. While cycling is fairly popular in Leeds, the awareness of the bike week is little known of, this is simply due to lack of promotion.

Graphic Design, Print & typography
Directed at an intellectual / environmentally aware audience who have previous knowledge of Cancun and it’s involvement with the EU, but also informative for new audiences who wish to become involved.
This proposes the question whether the Cancun debates will lead to any significant steps towards a global agreement on serious environmental issues. It is un-biased and simply opens up the debate.

Interpret the content typographically.
Like the character ‘Square’ who searches for further truth in his 2D world in the novella, the typography too pushes the physical boundaries of the format it was been placed in.

In Design is my go to software for layout. Quark is not a problem for me, though I do find it frustrating as it simply is no match in terms of usability. I use Illistrator for logo design and vectoring images. Photoshop was my first love, need I say more; while After Effects is an after thought.
