Logotype
I find it really hard to create a logotype for myself. I created a ‘Personal Mark’ last semester which you can see here. But when it comes to one flat graphic that represents myself I find it really difficult. Before publishing on this blog I wanted to have a perfect logo. I spent much … Read more
Typography On Screen
It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Forgive me. I’ve been working super hard on my University work and some freelance jobs. I recently submitted my work for my ‘Type on Screen’ studio. This class is focused on helping us develop our understanding on how to design for screen (rather than print). This class runs … Read more
Flip Book – 1+1=1
When given the brief to create a flipbook about metamorphoses, my challenge was to create a series of illustrations that would become a gradual transformation of one form into another.

Choosing to convey such powerful topics – Agnst & Love – in red allowed me to really explore these holistically. I really tried to feel … Read more
Oracle of Symbol Forms
For this brief I chose to base my Oracle around the theme of a compass. My idea was that the user would use the oracle to ‘map’ out their future from the predictions offered. The ‘Destiny Compass’ is split into two themes; ‘The Dark Side’ and ‘The Light Side’. This allowed me to create … Read more

Colour systems for screen & print 3. Monochromatic & subtle colours I interpreted that problem as both a challenge and an … Read more
3 Cards – Illustration Brief
When I was faced with the topic of ‘Conversation’ to base my three cards around, I chose to take the topic and turn it upside-down. I decided to take conversation and think what isn’t in our daily conversations, or rather, what society says we shouldn’t talk about. Taboo. From this I narrowed my it … Read more
