Work Experience

RadioPS logo and banner.

The logo design was for a specific gaming community website. The competition was posted on the internet and out of the various contestants my design was chosen.





Here is the final logo banner used on the website. A little more editing to the website will be needed to ensure continuity to the over all flow of the design.





The people who held the competition were that happy with the final design that they wanted the logo to be printed on to a Tshrit to be sold on their website.

Swiss Type Project

The Swiss Type project enabled me to look at type and layout in great detail. A requirement for the project was to find a peice of packaging that could be used for the project.


I chose to redesign a Heinz Chicken Noodle Cup Soup. Meaning I had to record all of the dimensions of the box and also every peice of type.
I had to replace the type on the package that I created within Illustrator. I look at different fonts, point sizes and weights in great detail.

Client Breif: Clink Clink.

'Clink Clink' was the first project and compeition of the Client Breif, which I won.

Clink Clink was a film produced by local film director Pamela Taylor, who wanted a design which could be used with the DVD packaging. Clink Clink focused on a theme of the awareness of drink driving.

The way in which the front cover was manipulated was to deliberately look blury. This was done by overlaying the same image three times and placing them slightly in different positions. The image was also purposely manipulated to appear darker to show the sinister side of the DVD.

The image reinforces your vision once you have had a drink. Also the fact that the image focuses on a car handle, links well with the drink driving theme of the film.

Business Practice.

For my Business Practice project, I decided to create a branding for a business which could be used for a real company.

I created the business 'Reflex' which means to bend, be thrown back or reflected. Other definitions suggest involuntary action or response, automatic response or reaction.

'Reflex' is a motion graphic sting company, which offers stings for advertisements in web and television medias.
I helped to create a brand for 'Reflex', by means of Logo, Business Card, Letterhead, Compliments Slip and Envelope, which could be used within the company.

The logo was purposely manipulated to be on a slight angle, this was to reinforce the idea of movement, which helps to link in with the motion graphics that the company offers.
The use of the colour green throughout my work helps to suggest freshness to the actual company and also work it may produce.

Client Breif: Penguin Design Competition 2010.

Here are the book covers that I created for the Penguin Design Competition.

The two designs focus on Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland' and Patrick Süskind's 'perfume'.

The imagery behind the cover for 'Alice in Wonderland' is linked to the Mad Hatters tea
party, a tea party was a big part of the Victorian lifestyle. Subtle imagery and drawings
were placed into the design, hiding in tea cups, plates and dishes. The imagery appeared
in color and also black and white, this gave a feeling of a dream or someone’s
imagination.

Whilst the cover for 'perfume' uses a rose which was used to symbolize a number of things. The first thing the rose symbolized was the theme of death which runs throughout the book. The rose could also represent an ingredient which could be used to create the perfume. A splatter of blood also appears on the cover of the book, this again could link in with the theme of death.
The way in which the blood hasn’t congealed into the paper could again link well with
the theme of perfume, as this could represent a spice or ingredient. The imagery was
purposely edited to be quite dark to set the darkness of the books themes.
























Final End of Year Show Work

This is the work that I will be showcasing for the End of Year show.

I have decided to showcase my Swiss Type project, which was based upon a Heinz chicken noodle package. The other focuses on my honours project, which was to brand a local musician by means of a sting, album cover, vinyl and CD graphics.
