-Ellas Kitchen-Publication, Format

-Ella’s Kitchen pride themselves for using 100% natural and organic ingredients. To communicate this throughout the publication I created a set of characters which are taken from the ingredients of the products. The publication informs the reader about Ella’s Kitchen as a brand. To break it down I used three seperate publications and a binding technique which makes the user interact with the publication. The format of the publication works so whichever way the user picks up the publication it can be read, thus making it easier for the user.

-Fedrigoni-Publication, Packaging, Poster

-The Fedrigoni stock finder presents the paper ranges in a way that makes the printers interact with the stock. The main focus is being able to touch, see and feel the stock. Through using the stock finder, printers can identify which stock is best to use and read the specification of one. In order to bring the paper ranges to life within the stock finder, paper craft has been heavily used throughout. This presents the interaction of the papers with one another and is a good way to identify which stock to use together.

-Feel Good Drinks Co.-Packaging

-The idea behind this is to change the style of Feel Good bottle labels, I wanted to create a more modern approach, but something that was in keeping with the brand ethics. They pride themselves on using 100% natural ingredients, so I wanted the focus of the bottle to be the ingredients, hence why the label is printed on the bottle, this enabled me to use the colour of the juice as the colour within the labels.

-Secret 7”-Vinyl Sleeve Design

-Taking inspiration from the style of music Nick Drake produced, I have created the design to reflect the idea freedom and travelling the country roads. Using selected imagery I have built up the artwork.This design was chosen by the judges as one of the winning designs, which will now be displayed in the exhibition they do.

-Hellfire-Beer Label, Beer Mat, Beer Cap

-The concept of this design for the beer label came from looking into the meaning of an eagle. The natives honor eagles for their opportunistic ways. They dipicted this as work smarter not harder, this as a message and symbol would fit in well for a creative network which is trying t target young creatives.An eagle also represents masculinary, dominance, power and ruler which all have a relevance to the beer itself - its a masculine beer as it is as bitter, dominance shows through in the strength of the beer and power and ruler are reperented by it being the best on the market.

-The Print Manual-Editorial, Format

-The Print Manual covers all areas of designing for print in the industry. The format of the publication splits the subject matter down into two seperate booklets but the binding technique keeps them as one. Each booklet has a different accent colour to make it easier to identify them, this also runs throughout the booklet as the accent colour. The front covers use greyboard as the main material, this gives a rigid and tactile surface to the publication, each one has a lasercut design.

-3 Minute Wander-Web, App, Print

-3 Minute Wander is a campaign to help working professionals get away from their work and have a break. The two elements of this are the website and application. The website informs about the campaign and ways which you can get involved. The application is the product which is there to help the users, this engages them into a game and takes them away from their work.

-Life Lessons-Print, Editorial

-Life lessons is a project in which I experiement with digital and print based work. The focus of the project was to produce posters which were inspired by life quotes.The posters were to be bold and eye catching, along with illustrative to give the quote a meaning and better understanding. A publication was created from all the posters - ‘A collection of life lessons’.
