Richard Fox // As a recent graduate of the BMA Honours program of Waikato Institute of Technology, I have spent the last 6 months interning in design for industry leading companies Needles and Threads and Mr Vintage. These developments in my first year out of study have given me the confidence and requisite experience to further my graphic design career. While managing these internships I have also spent much of 2013 training for the now completed UCI BMX World Championships and working as the owner/operator/ creative director of my own clothing label called Unspoken Clothing. While I am proud of what I have achieved already I know there is much for me to learn in the industry. My experiences have proven me to be a hard worker and someone that can learn on the fly, so while I have developed as a designer I am determined to gain more expertise in an industry I am passionate about.

Unspoken Clothing // Unspoken Clothing an ode to standing out rather than fitting in, big ideas instead of small minds, and not settling for mediocre threads. Fresh designs inspired predominantly by BMX, music and urban culture. Unspoken is that nagging feeling when you put on that shirt that is the ‘safe choice’. Unspoken is that time when you lost ‘the girl’ to that guy in the cool threads. Unspoken is dope designs on dope shirts. Unspoken Clothing

Mr Vintage // Mr Vintage is an online T-shirt brand. You may have seen some of their t-shirts around, they’re New Zealand themed t-shirts. Mr Vintage started back in 2004 with Rob Ewan the creator when he was just working out of a basement. They have grown a lot since then and pretty much do everything: screen-printing, the website, design, marketing & customer service. My Role as the Design Intern was to create concepts, mock up artworks and design shirts along with some of the new ideas coming soon at Mr Vintage.

WWF Climate Change // At current levels, unless we contain global warming under 2째C, by 2050 one third of all animal species will be at risk of extinction and two billion people will be left without drinking water. For this project we were required to make a fold out publication & poster as a handout to raise awareness of this issue. The specifications simply restricted the design to an A3 size paper.
