FOREWORD

Design educators carry with them multiple responsibilities: to challenge traditional practice; to identify future trends, including alternative futures; and to prepare graduates for an increasingly unknowable and complex world. It is up to them to help design students build unique aptitudes, design skillsets, and creative capacities that respond to social and technological challenges in innovative and novel ways.

Throughout their studies, the design students at Queensland College of Art (QCA), Griffith University, have worked to explore, experiment, inquire, critique, prototype, sketch, model, and test various artefacts, processes, protocols, and practices in order to learn all they can about the art of designing. Across each course, major, and program, students are challenged to think beyond borders, futures, technologies, and societies so as to become socially aware and critically engaged practitioners. During this process, our graduates have learned about the variable nature of design not only as a discipline but also as a practice.

Because of the campus’s enviable location in the cultural precinct of Brisbane, our design students have unique and direct line access to an emerging and constantly evolving creative field, including contemporary practitioners with a finger on the pulse of activity in this vibrant state.

4

Through their degrees, our students have become capable, responsive, and adaptable individuals across discipline majors spanning Design Futures, Interior Environments, Product Design, Visual Communication Design, and Interactive Media. Many students have also sought to enrich their connection with industry and beyond by undertaking professional internships, international exchange, field trips, and study-abroad opportunities.

Students are also given the opportunity to connect with our in-house Work Integrated

Learning design studios Liveworm and LiveSpace. Working within a distinctive studio model, students connect with industry and are exposed to real-world design practice, learning how to work for and work with clients in a professional design setting.

The student projects showcased here respond to a range of contemporary design challenges, such as food security, biodiversity loss, education futures, entrepreneurship, socially and environmentally responsible design, branding and social critique, urban landscapes, advanced manufacturing, and interior design. The images herein capture a glimpse of these moments and provide a window into the mind of the QCA Design graduate.

As newly anointed global ambassadors of QCA, these graduates of design and interactive media are entering professions that are at the solution centre of our contemporary world. We are confident that they are critically aware, able to tackle future challenges, and equipped with the necessary skills and creative capacities that will enable and empower them to connect, engage, and work with a variety of stakeholders.

Dr Beck Davis Acting Design Program Director Queensland College of Art Griffith University South Bank campus

This publication presents a showcase of the outstanding work of graduates from the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University (QCA). Encompassing the Bachelor of Digital Media, Bachelor of Digital Media with Honours, Bachelor of Digital Media/Bachelor of Business, and Bachelor of Industrial Design degrees, these Gold Coast QCA degrees are dedicated to interdisciplinary practice.

Founded in 1881, QCA is one of Australia’s premier creative institutions, distinguished by its tradition of continuous commitment to art and design education for 135 years. As part of a multicampus University capturing the dynamic growth of the Southeast Queensland corridor, QCA has located the Bachelor of Digital Media at its expanding Gold Coast campus.

Part of our commitment to creative education is to provide our students with real-world industry experience. Our inhouse Liveworm design studio and The Argus online visual journalism magazine are principal assets in ensuring our graduate students are industry ready. The featured graduate designers, artists, filmmakers, photographers, and creative innovators in this exhibition validate this commitment by continuing to make their mark on the national and international stage.

QCA is always excited to publish a yearly catalogue, as it acknowledges the outstanding work of our graduates, alumni, colleagues, and peers. Beyond showcasing the work of our graduates, it uncovers innovative design and art practitioners and creative entrepreneurs.

We are once again very proud of the work featured in the pages of the 2016 graduate catalogue. It continues to demonstrate to the world that the Gold Coast is an exciting and vibrant place to live, work, and study.

During my time at QCA, I have developed an understanding of the future of design, sustainability, and designing for a purpose, while gaining skills in REVIT, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

This third year assignment was to re-design the design teaching spaces located on Level 4 of the Webb Centre, QCA. The re-design had to challenge conventional and traditional teaching methods at universities by incorporating sticky spaces and collaborative areas.

MICAELA DRUMMOND INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS @madebymicaela.design Level Four Redesign 2016 A2 poster Level Four Redesign 2016 digital / hand drawn illustration A2 poster

As an upcoming interior designer, I am constantly seeking ways to expand my skillset and continue to express my creativity. From a young age, I knew that I wanted to do something in a creative field and pursued interior design as soon as I left high school. My last year of Interior Environments, as well as my last project of redesigning the QCA Webb Centre, has allowed me to find where my passions and talents lie.

INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS coffee table 2016 45 x 90cm level 4. QCA concept board 2016 drawing, Photoshop

I am a feminist interior designer, pushing for an inclusive paradigm. I seek to create designs from intersections of creativity, innovation, practicality, longevity, and sustainability. I am obsessed with mid-twentiethcentury furniture, beautiful timber, and plants, so I try to combine these elements in unique and idiosyncratic ways. Recently, I have become particularly interested in furniture design/making.

AUG

1/25 Adelaide Street, Brisbane CBD

Student Services

Previously an underutilized space, where students did not feel comfortable, this space has been redesigned to facilitate student accessability and use. Considering the fundamental elements of the space, this design invites the students to come in and feel like they want to stay within the area. This in turn helps them with studying, gives them the opportunity to talk to someone to help, and also allows them to do this in a calm and relaxing environment. This design gives an overall professional yet comfortable/relaxing feel.

Design has always played a big part in my life. It wasn’t until I started this program that it became clear to me that Interior Design was where my heart lay and where I wanted my future to take me.

Through various travels around the world, I have seen many different cultural designs that have inspired and enhanced my own designs.

Included here is a selection of my presentation boards that I have presented over the past few years.

Designers are often challenged by the complexity of spaces and their relationship to surrounding areas. Yet, these challenges also provide an opportunity to deconstruct, critique, and break down existing social conceptions. Within my work is embedded a creative balance that seeks to retain the old yet ever pushing for the new.

KIRSTY LINES INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS kirstylines.myportfolio.com QCA Design Level 2016 A2 concept presentation boards

I believe that design should be about ingenuity. While designs should push creative limits, they also need to reflect the processes of manufacturing as well as the usability/suitability of the end outcome. For a design to be successful, in my eyes, it needs to be suitable for, yet adaptable to the target audience.

As an interior designer, I have a particular interest in Australian design, local and national, with a focus on challenging the conventional use of spaces and role the user plays. I am passionate about intertwining intercultural and inclusive designs and challenging the norm within my spaces.

EMILY MOROSIN INTERIOR ENVIRONMENTS graciousdesign.net QCA REDESIGN 2016 A2 Concept Boards

This assignment asked students to redesign the Design level at QCA, creating more flexibility and balance. Using materials such as glass for the walls allows for a freeflowing layout that makes the level feel open and spacious.

I have used the colour scheme of red, white, and grey to tie in with the Griffith identity. By using this colour scheme, I have created a vibrant and professional space.

During my time at QCA, I have been exploring laser cutting and a technique called the living hinge, which involves laser cutting a pattern into plywood to allow it to bend. Using this technique, I designed both a laptop bag and a watch. My purpose in this was to further explore a new technique and improve on its uses.

PRODUCT DESIGN iMod 2015 22.5 x 31 x 1.2cm

My time at QCA has allowed me to develop my skills in a diverse range of design practices, including graphic design, concept drawing, and, of course, product design.

This has not only helped me in creating work that displays informative visual designs but also caused me to think about the reasons why the work needs to be designed at all.

Seeing the initial spark of an idea ignite, develop, and evolve into a reality is both inspiring and exciting. I thrive on this design process, taking every opportunity as a chance to immerse myself in an area and learn as much as I can from it. This has given me a broad understanding of design and the need to be aware of the wider impacts of what we bring into existence.

Est. 20 000 L of water to produce 1 KG of cotton, massive input of water.

Consequences of Run – off

China, Yellow River Valley (30.6%), Yangtse River (61.3%).

Australia, Murray – Darling Basin.

Egypt, Nile Valley.

India, Narmada.

Unites States, Rio Grande.

Pakistan, Indus Valley (largest irrigation system, continues to India) Turkey, Menderez, Gediz GAP Scheme A. Uzbekistan, Amu – Dar, Syr – Dar.

Inappropriate water management & irrigation technology is a common issue that leads to water run – off from fields to adjacent rivers, wetlands, and lakes.

For all countries in the broad belt of irrigated cotton. Uzbekistan 50% irrigated area affected by salinity.

73% global cotton harvest comes from irrigated land.

Extensive Irrigation

Fresh Water Withdrawal

Consequence increased run – off causing shallow water tables and more drier cause salination of soils.

Great economic relevance 2/3 Pakistan exports derive from cotton & textiles, and 75% for Uzbekistan.

China, Egypt & Uzbekistan stated extra water requirements for leaching.

Drainage & Leaching

24% insecticides & 11% pesticides out of global sales.

Pesticides & Chemicals

Used to avoid water logging & salinity of soils. Can return to rivers as salt – contaminated drainage water, which has severe impact on rivers & wetlands.

Within 30 years between 1950 – 1980s more than 35 000 large dams were built word – wide. Smaller dams primarily built for irrigation purposes.

Dam Construction Reduced & regulated water flow affects fresh water ecosystems that lay down stream of the dam.

Large Scale

Fertilisers Not directly toxic but alters the nutrient system of species fresh water ecosystem.

Consequences of Wildlife & Habitat Contamination Salts

Pesticide Residues

Salination is build up of salts that poisons plants leaving land barren.

Prevent disease spreading to lower risks of losing crops from insects.

Top 6 cotton producing countries 12% to 36% of irrigated area is damaged through salinisation.

Volatilisation occurs when pesticide turns into gas or vapour after sprayed, traveling in air & spreading to different pieces of land.

Land Reclamation

Pesticide Applied Properly can still Affect Non – target Organisms Insects & animal around area consume infected insects & can be poisoned and die.

Due to drainage of soil & monocultural cultivation of cotton, farmland no longer provides a habitat for its original plants & animals.

Fresh water ecosystems are adapted to a specific water flow, any alteration in water quantity or its temporal distribution can affect either single species or whole fresh water ecosystems.

in non – organic food. Potentially detrimental to consumer’s health.

Remaining natural habitats fragmented into isolated pieces, becoming too small to secure the continued existence of natural ecosystem.

Animals & fish exposed to pesticide chemicals running off into their water habitat.

Terrestrial ecosystems are linked to fresh water ecosystems, which means effects are also linked.

Pesticide is consumed in food applied with it. Higher level of pesticide

Increase in arable land is natural landscape changed to agricultural area.

COTTON PLANTATIONS Crop Rotation

Wet & dry phases in African growing areas are good for cotton plantations. Cotton is organic & high quality.

Almost exclusively grown by small farm holders.

Rain – fed Cultivation

Reduces leaching of soils & occurrence of pests.

Africa

Artificial irrigation used often in large plantations.

Cash Crop Cotton grown alternately with other crops such as basic food crops (staple foods) maize, soy or ground nuts.

Practically not used in Africa so natural rainfall has to be enough for watering crops.

Rainwater has to be used efficiently.

Mulch

Man vs Machine

Decaying leaves, bark & compost.

Africa Mainly by Hand

Requires balanced use of fertiliser and mulching.

Longer process time.

Environmentally sound method less chemical contamination.

Grown for sale alongside foods in subsistence farming.

Plays an important role in securing their food supplies.

Rethinking Agricultural Practice

Rethinking Clothe Manufacturing

Associate with Ethical Clothing

Aim to get agriculture & nature in harmony. Cultivation methods including crop rotation in cotton growing to maintain quality of soils. Efficient use of pesticides & fertilisers & responsible use of water.

2007, 99% of cotton farmers reside in developing countries, 2/3 in India or China, are exposed to contaminated environment.

Rural poverty makes children work long hours in dangerous conditions.

No kind of health or work cover.

Large Cotton Plantations

Violation of labour rights poor working conditions, inadequate wages & child labour

Production regulated by time too little time to enrich soil with natural nutrients. In the long – term, soil becomes depleted, crop yield grows poorer & pests spread.

Backbone of massproduction includes countries China, Thailand & US.

Intense energy & water consumption, intense pollution.

Pollution Chemical use in finishing process.

Chemicals & hazardous materials like bleaches & dyes applied to garments.

Chemical waste & contaminated wastewater poses threat to ground water supplies.

Resulting in farmer’s need for increasing amounts of pesticides & fertilisers.

Reduce Reuse Recycle

Earth’s resources is not limitless.

Cut – down pollution, energy consumption & waste.

IMPLEMENT SUSTAINABILITY Ethical Organisations

Manufacturing Process

Big brands use or have used this like Nike, Bonds & Just Jeans.

Off – shore competition is high. Inequity & unsustainability issues of businesses moving labour intensive processes to countries with lower labour costs. Focus on methods to proliferate more wealth overlooks the need for sustainability.

SUSAN WEN VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN Material Map: Cotton 2015 29.7 x 252cm

Creating my cotton map involved a critical design process of deconstruction that revealed cultural perspectives, histories, the designer’s presence, and designing forces in time. It spans from 200AD, where Indians were trading cotton, to the power of cotton’s political agency in Mahatma Gandhi’s Khadi movement against colonial practices, to the global cotton industry, and into our future to figure out where environmental and social sustainability fit in.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN Tyalgum Music Festival Brochure 2016 21 x 29.7cm

I am a visual communicator with a passion for illustration and storytelling through both digital technologies and visual art mediums.

Illustrative media have always been crucial to my work and being able to incorporate them into my design projects adds layers of expression and acts as a powerful communicative tool. In the future, I aim to continue learning, experimenting, and to be a part of a never-ending whirlwind of creation.

BRONTE WILTSHIRE VISUAL COMMUNICATION DESIGN Let’s Go! Zine 2016 A5 Band Poster 2014 hand drawn, illustrator A3 poster

My approach is multi-disciplinary, with my projects encompassing photography, illustration, and keen design thinking. My passions lie in the bridge between conceptual art and design, with integrity directing my projects to create socially responsible, contemplative design. I believe that to make thoughtful design, with an ethic of care, is a service to the world.

DESIGN FUTURES HONOURS chelseaeaton.com Queensland College of Art 2015 Fine Art Graduate Catalogue 2015 28 x 21.7cm

As a designer, I recognise that many of the social and environmental catastrophes of the contemporary world have been caused by design. I therefore believe that it is the task of myself and other designers to change the way society sees and interacts with their environment.

The featured work reflects my passion for inspiring creativity by showcasing the powerful creations from emerging artists and designers.

HANNAH ISON DESIGN FUTURES HONOURS www.hannahison.com Skin Deep Learning - Student Learning Materials 2016 A4 Design Futures in Education (Silkwood) 2015 Print A4 Design Futures in Education (Overview) 2015 Print A4

The projects I have chosen to submit reflect my passion for design in education. Design Futures in Education was an assessment piece in which Gabi Wild, Erica Patrick, and I worked with schools on design-based projects. Education is also part of my work life where I design learning materials for beauty students.

This passion for design in education has developed over the last couple of years at QCA, and is now the focus of my honours research.

ERICA PATRICK 44

DESIGN FUTURES HONOURS ericapatrickcreative.com Imagine a world where... 2015 24 x 18cm

My time at QCA has provoked me to challenge the norm and strive to make a positive change through design, no matter how big or small it may be. I approach design strategically and believe it is not only about problem solving, but also about problem identifying. Design has the power to redirect negative perceptions and actions, which is something I have focused on throughout my Honours year in particular.

CEARA SWYRIPA DESIGN FUTURES HONOURS cearaswyripa.com RPDW Conference Poster 2016 Rapid Participatory Design Workshop Booklet 2016

I try to consider all the social, political, and environmental implications that design can have, whether it be physical environmental impacts or a perpetuation of unsustainable behaviours or practices, and attempt to reduce or remove these impacts from the designed outcome. This project was centred around participatory design and its role in climate change adaptation.

DANA MAHTAB 46

MASTER OF INTERACTIVE MEDIA zyte.com.au/dana Perception 2016

Perception is an interactive paper theatre. The puppets and the stage are paper collages designed in digital format and then printed, cut out, and glued together.

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform, which is used to provide interactivity to the artwork. These electronic boards read the viewers’ inputs (through pressing buttons, for example) and then reacts accordingly.

The artwork encourages the viewers to think about what reality means in our societies—for us and for others. Can we rely on our perceptions when they differ so greatly between people and often so hopelessly and tragically differ from reality?

YULIA KORNIENKO MASTER OF INTERACTIVE MEDIA Vibrant Meditation 2016 variable dimensions

Vibrant Meditation is an interactive artwork for mindfulness meditation practice in digital environment. Installation is an integration of MindWave EEG headset and Kinect sensor.

Brainwaves and spatial data generate visual and audio feedback to guide and support the practice of meditation.

Mandala projection with ambient light and sound create an immersive physical environment and demystifies the practice of meditation by simple interactivity.

CJ ANDERSON 48

3-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN

My name is CJ, I am a paradox.

cjand.com

Tough and soft; cool and warm; bold and understated.

Drawing upon industrial elements and delicate aesthetics, my designs use both traditional craftsmanship and digital manufacturing. Striving to be dynamic and ever evolving, I place emphasis on collaboration among people in all disciplines. This allows me to broaden the focus of my designs, incorporate current trends, and cultivate growth.

I make no distinction between my personal and professional self. My designs echo who I am, what I stand for, where I have been, and where I am going.

I am CJ Anderson.

TATENDA DHOBHA 3-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN tatendadesign.com

Tatenda Dhobha: aspiring 3D designer, illustrator, lover of podcasts, and all things nerdy. I have a keen interest in the relationship that design has with social change and have spent my time at QCA exploring sustainability within the death industry, and cultural appropriation within the wider design sphere. My passion lies in producing creative, otherworldly pieces and I’m always trying to find the balance between art and practical, commercial design.

Representation is also very important to me and, within my illustration work, I strive to capture a wider, more diverse world than the one in our existing media.

GRACE KEIDGE 50

3-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN gracekeidge.com

I have never been much of a creative writer, which is why I am a designer. The exploration of convergence through art and science is a recurring thought in each piece I create.

From abstract organic design to rehabilitation devices, my practice shows connections to both fields. I create for purpose and creation is my purpose.

GEORGINA McDONALD 3-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN georginamcdonalddesign.com

I’m a bit of a kooky old lady in the body of a twentytwo-year-old. I enjoy wearing horrendously ugly shirts, volunteering at opshops, being involved in an online post card swapping community, and cross stitching swear words in my spare time. I’m also heavily involved in my local community theatres and hope to one day use my knowledge of 3D printing and scanning to make a profession of 3D printing theatre props and prosthetics. But until then I’m more than happy to be known for 3D printing in chocolate for Griffith University.

I’m a passionate student currently pursuing 3D & Graphic Design. I love clean, modern design and I always strive to create works that influence inspiration and reflection, whether it be with my 3D or 2D works.

I take high interest in a variety of fields, including furniture design, lighting design, brand design, logo design and typography‌ to name a few.

CLAUDETTE WILLIAMS 3-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN claudette3dmuadesign.com

I am a 3-Dimensional Designer and self-taught Special Effects Makeup Artist. Currently, I focus on combining both of my skills to bridge the gap between traditional and modern methods of design. I enjoy experimenting with clay sculpting and prosthetic makeup for screen, using 3D printing to create a modern form of prosthetics and efficient moulds. Most of my designs are bold and abstract, but I love to explore and challenge myself with all different genres of makeup looks and special effects techniques.

TIMOTHY WILSON 54

3-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN hunchmark.com

My current focus is on my furniture design and artwork practice called Hunchmark. I have a passion for fine timber furniture and products, as well as sculpture, painting, drawing and digital artwork. My ideologies are focused around sustainable production, ethics and pushing visual boundaries. Before studying a Bachelor of Digital Media, I was a carpenter and have designed and created furniture in my spare time. For the last two years, I have also been working for Yellow Goat Design, which has given me invaluable experience working on custom lighting fixtures, sculptures, and play equipment.

DRU ADLER DIGITAL DESIGN druadler.com/vfx

I’m a resident videographer and editor at VO Creative Agency. I also specialise in VFX and 3D animation. I had been a professional surfer for most of my career before I decided to chase after a new dream of becoming a digital designer, specialising in the world of moving pictures. I started my time at VO Creative as an intern and worked hard to become a valuable member of the team. I was quickly offered full time work, which I keenly accepted.

In 2016, I’m on track to graduate with a third consecutive Griffith Award for Academic Excellence.

DIGITAL DESIGN ajhpics.com

Film, photography, and editing are the three things I am most passionate about. During this degree, I have been given many opportunities to explore different paths of the media industry. I have been fortunate enough to create unique films that I will be able to keep and share for many years to come. The skills that I have acquired through QCA allow me to now pursue working as an educator or videographer in the field of design. I hope that the films I create will one day inspire others to create and carry on another story to tell.

REBECCA BELL GRAPHIC DESIGN becbelldesignco.com

From a young age, I’ve had a great imagination, a bubbly personality, and a friendly smile. When I stepped into my first Graphics class, at school, it ended in tears and a plea to leave the class. After advice to stay in the elective, somewhere between struggle street and stress, I fell into my groove, becoming top of the class. I remember finding the irony in the entire situation that something I detested so much, became something that now fuels my life.

ODETTE BETTANY 58

GRAPHIC DESIGN odettebettany.com

Graphic design creatively challenges me. I enjoy using different techniques to achieve polished results. Designing offers me the opportunity to be able to craft ideas and words into visuals to produce tangible results. My areas of interest lie in creative styling/art direction with photography and editorial design for print publications. I enjoy experimenting and creating unique concepts/ideas.

I can’t wait to move forward to the next stage and to be constantly inspired and grow as a designer.

TAYLOR BLAIR GRAPHIC DESIGN taylorblairdesigns.com

I may be a bit of a perfectionist, workaholic, and a goofball, but I love to create and design minimalistic and clean illustrations. My passions include good books, organic food, and good design. I wish to assist people who cannot portray their creative side, and to design their identity in the best way possible.

I enjoy learning and working in a wide range industry areas, including motion graphics, 3D modelling, website building / coding, sound design, music production, and game coding and level design. I also enjoy gardening when I need a break from my computer screen.

JAMES CAMPBELL GRAPHIC DESIGN jcampb3ll.com

Ever since I first put pencil onto paper, I have been sketching little logos. Towards the end of high school, I had even completed work for a few clients. I’m now at the end of formal education as a graphic designer, but my resolve stays the same: Design serves to inform, a designer serves the public.

CONNOR COURT 62

With four years of freelance design work experience, I have already had the chance to hone my skills and see which techniques I enjoy the most. Having an early interest in illustration, I look for any opportunity to weave it into my designs.

GEORGIA DAL BROI GRAPHIC DESIGN georgiadalbroi.com

I like making stuff! After working three years professionally in digital marketing and design, I find my flow in creating, imagining, and producing works that make eyes happy.

ARMIN EMINOVIC 64

GRAPHIC DESIGN cheebohgraphics.com

Who am I? You can call me Cheeboh. As early as i can remember, I’ve always loved drawing. High school is where my passion for design grew. I was introduced to Photoshop in Grade 9 and focused on furthering my design skills in my free time. I’ve always loved working with Photoshop, but have gradually moved to Illustrator in my university years. I have great skills with the pen tool, thanks to all of the years I created custom fonts. Cheeboh Graphics is my new design name. Keep a look out, you’ll see me.

KELSEA GRANT GRAPHIC DESIGN kelseagwendoline.com

Think simple, that’s my motto. After all, good design is as little design as possible. My works are driven by the intersection between art and communication, where both functionality and aesthetic unite. Challenging conventions through minimalism and structure forms the foundation of my practice and design philosophy. Where others may require thousands of lines, I require few.

I feel that great design comes from creative thinking, process, and enthusiasm.

BIANCA HINRICKS GRAPHIC DESIGN biancahinricks.com

Well, damn. It honestly baffles me that making things look good is actually a career. I would say that my passion for design began with obsessing over having absolutely flawless document layouts when doing school assignments.

Sure there was content, but let’s be real, my concern was more along the lines of selecting the perfect font and wondering if there was too much white space. I would describe my design style as quirky, colourful, and clean.

I love everything about graphic design, from the culture of the industry to the fact that it presents me with a new challenge every day.

Graphic design allows me to experience personal and professional growth with every project through constructive criticism, visual communication, and the power to evoke emotion through viewing creative works. My design work is reflective of my personal style: minimal, timeless, and feminine. Steve Jobs said, “Don’t do things better; do things differently.”

ZOË KEIDGE GRAPHIC DESIGN zoekeidge.com

If travelling was free, you would definitely not see me again. Unfortunately it’s not, so the next best thing has been for me to channel my creative spirit into a legitimate profession. And so here we are: graphic design and marketing, the perfect combination of art and puzzles. For me, design is about creating important works, without overdoing it. I like to explore. I like to take photos. I like to create. I like to make memories. Life is about the simple things. And that’s what my design is all about.

Illustration is the cake I enjoy baking, and my cake has been described as: different, groovy, versatile, and yes… edgy. I am constantly inspired by what my globes spy, which primarily consists of 70s–90s pop culture and the arcane. I look forward to diving into the future of Illustration with you—hold on! Let me get my duck floatie and Monkees tape-deck.

PHILLIP RUDNEV GRAPHIC DESIGN philliprudnev.com

As a young minimalist designer and entrepreneur, my aim is to break away from the crowd. I see things differently and I always aim to express this in my work. Much of my work begins with traditional design methods: hand sketching, brush work, pen-and-ink. So, while I have professional standards as my benchmark, the product always retains unmistakable elements of its origins.

Beyond the studio, I make a point of focusing on client relations, aiming to ensure that whatever I produce has the client’s needs in mind.

I like to be challenged. I like to express my ideas and knowledge through my technical understanding of design. I like to show my creativity through the use of 3D printing as a final manufacturing method. I like this because it makes my designs available to anyone in the world with access to a 3D printer, sometimes even for free, which I also like. I like the fact that industrial design has increased my knowledge and understanding of everything on this planet. I like that it makes me excited to work hard for my future. I like what the future holds.
