Unpredictable
Breaking out
of the mold of
patterns can often
lead to interesting
visuals.
The journey that
a rough pencil
sketch takes can
often surprise and
result in a ‘gem’
of an idea.
Why do you always wear black?
By working with magazine cut outs and collage, the idea
here was an abstract story telling, beginning with a heavily
constructed, protected feel which mimics the idea of being
afraid to step out of the safety of black.
As it progresses, colour is included and more empty space, as
the story ‘lets go’ of it’s fears and embraces it’s inner beauty.
Word Collage/Representation
With a chosen word, a three part collage was made out of an image, a letterform and a shape.
An image of the word was considered for each element. A diagonal positioning was chosen to
add more sense of movement and speed.
Paper typeface
Working with limitations, a typeface inspired
by folding and tucking same sized pieces of
paper to form letterforms.
Inspiration taken from origami and shadow
type.
Paper Experiments
Observing and experimenting with the material texture by creasing and folding, as well the
effects created by the paper when exposed to light.
Making a pinhole camera
The recorded process of making a pinhole camera for the
second time, as the first had many issues. Extra care was
taken to ensure that the pinhole was of the correct size, as well
as reducing potential light leaks by using tape effectively.
Memory: Digital and Pinhole photography
Working with the theme of Memory, a decision was made to record my
local park which has changed recently, but still remained a core part of
my childhood. The digital photos show a near perfect capture, whereas
the pinhole photos are abstracted and vague. This was likely a result of
not being careful with protecting light leaks. The pinhole photos I found
represented memory in a more personal sense, as I hardly reccognise the
park from what it once was.

Typographic Animated GIF
Iniitally researching into the forms of letters and what they could
represent, I opted to create a GIF that shows the personalities
and social conflicts that they suffer. In this case, the growing
contempt that Comic Sans has against Helvetica!
Categorisation infographics
Composition ideas taken from the angles in a room’s corner. Coloured lines
help to differentiate the owners and opacity is used to show the frequency of
item usage.
Categorisation infographics
With all the mess in my living room, what better place to source and
produce an infographics?
Creatives Playground
Using just 5 cardboard boxes, our idea of an interactive design involved triggering the 5 key
senses of our bodies, from touch to sight.
By taking the users on a fun journey of play, our intention was to trigger both shock and
pleasure, keeping that element of surprise with innuendo and curious phrases on the boxes.
