My graphic design practice focuses heavily on exploring locations, cultures and identities, especially those that have played a role in shaping my upbringing and background. My work - which primarily consists of editorial design, book design and branding - embodies both humour and emotion depending on the concept I am exploring. Creating a sense of person and place with playful design is ever-present within my practice, allowing me to highlight areas and communities that may otherwise be overlooked.
My project, Lost at Sea, was focused on creating a book design based on the eroding coastal village of Happisburgh in North Norfolk. I represented the destructive environmental issues this area of the UK is facing by using a variety of mediums within my work, including typography, photography and experimental book form. Within this project I attempted to push the boundaries of what a book can be. As well as this, I have also worked on Dull Weekly, a tabloid magazine that combined both storytelling and editorial design to document the weekly dramas of a small rural village in Suffolk.
Although my studio practice focuses heavily on local identities, my extended essay explored work from the Russian Constructivist movement. I examined the political implications attached to artworks, exploring how form, material and colour influenced the consolidation of different societal structures.
