Book Covers For this project I had to design book covers for a series of dictionaries that covered three completely different subject areas. The three subject areas I decided upon were London place names, popular music and finally sport studies. I felt these book covers would be the perfect opportunity to try something new and add my own personal touch, so I hand rendered all three book covers which proved challanging but mainly interesting overall.
Photographers Books This project involed myself working with a photographer(s) in order to create a book(s) that displayed his/their work clearly. The photographers high quality images and open minded approach to the design of his/their book allowed me to explore many new ideas and discuss possibilities for him to consider.
Print-Based Infographics (made from scratch) For this project I had a week to design a infographic piece that showed a recipe without using any type/ font/text. For my piece I decided upon a simple recipe of nachos with cheese plus extras. My piece shows the ingredients and tools needed to make the nachos, shows the preparation and cooking process but mainly the final outcome. The inclusion of the five main chilli pepper heats, allows the recipe user to see the heats of the chilli peppers but also to see which pepper they dare try.
Personal work Here is a selection of my own personal and favourite pieces of work. Football is a huge part of my life (Manchester City fan and proud) and so I like to find new ways to explore my love of football with my love of graphics, which often leads to many interesting outcomes. I also like to focus on personal branding as it intregues me greatly, so im always looking at new and interesting ways to promote myself as a designer.
