I work mainly in a digital format, creating outcomes for both print and web, however I do try to include hand rendered design where I can. Typography is a large part of my design practice and something that I am passionate about. I have recently taken up creating typography by hand, as well as creating typefaces.

The brief was set as part of the YCN Student Awards. The brief was to reassert Domino’s Pizza’s ownership of the ‘Two-For-Tuesdays’ deal. Restrictions were that only the Domino’s colours of red, blue and white could be used, as well as specified typefaces and photographic images. Using Domino’s witty and humorous tone of voice, my response was to create the ‘50 Reasons/Find A Friend’ campaign. This plays on the idea of giving the customer 50 reasons not to buy the product, and telling them how sad they are if they fit the reasons. The response is across both printed media and web, with a focus on larger promotional posters. The web element is to get the customers more involved with the deal.

A self initiated brief to create a publication around the subject of typography principles. Typography principles is something learnt immediately when starting a university course in Graphic Design, and while there are a huge amount of text books around this subject, there is not a publication which is simplified down and easy to read. The response to this problem was to create a very simple and easy to read publication, using simple illustrations and minimal text to go through the important points that make up typography principles.

A self initiated brief to create a mobile App as an extension to another brief, an Italian Bakery & Cafe, ‘fonte de vita’. The brand is created around luxurious Italian baked goods, desserts and drinks, based in London. This App allows customers to interact with the brand at any time they please. It has the full menu and details of the brand and location. Along with this, users are able to place orders at the Bakery for pick-up, make reservations at the Cafe, and create their own list of favourite foods and drinks, easy to refer to at any time. The App is image driven, with a flat vector structure throughout all pages. Icons have been created for each of the main headings. Images change from brown to colour when on the selected menu, indicating clearly to the user what page they are on.
