Project 25 The War Between Type and Image

Project 24 Jazz Band



Project 23 Blazing Biographies

                                     

The Colourful design that I have created represents Marilyn seated in a Lily (which in many cultures represents death and is given at funerals) surrounded by an array of colourful and magnificent flowers.

The meaning of piece is that even though she was lonely at the time of her death, she has never been more alive or celebrated than today.

Project 22 Too Sweet

I had to invent a new sweet and design the wrapper for it.  Finally a project close to my heart!!

I decided to design a lollipop that you could buy for somebody as a gift for any occasion.  The "I Need a Hug" lollipop was born and coming to a sweetshop near you soon.  The lollipop itself will be embossed with my character / logo and its packaging will consist of a box that is seethrough on one side and has a space to write a note to a loved one on the other side.  The lollipops can be either hard sweet flavours or made of milk chocolate.

Dimensions of lollipop
Diameter:  4.5cm
Thickness:  0.5cm
Length of stick to base of lollipop:  5cm
Box Dimensions: H 5cm x W 6cm x D 1cm

Project 21 McStack

This was the funniest of the Christmas projects.  Having the experience of approaching the staff of McDonalds and ordering 10 Cheesebugers and then just stacking them up certainly got us noticed.  Here is my drawing.

Project 20 I'm Game

It was quite interesting to get involved in this project because I never thought that I would be able to design a game.  My boardgame is for between 2 and 4 players.  Each one starts in their corner and has to get to the centre of the board by rolling a dice and avoiding obstacles along the way.  Who ever rolls a six starts the game.  This game has been tested by my boyfriend and I.  I won.  Enjoy.

Board measurements:  28.5cm x 28.5cms
Counter Height:  2.5cm
Counter Width:  1cm
Triangle Dimensions:  2cm x 2cm x 4cm

Project 19 Goalscorer

For this project I had to map out my life for the next 30 years of my life which I based on both my career and personal goals. 

I came up with the idea of basing the map on a sunrise with all the flags from the countries I want to visit over the next 30 years.  My goals are represent the steps of my journey.

Project 18 Holiday Havoc

For this project I had to do something that I have never done before and document it.

Waking up around 3am and heading to the London Eye for a photoshoot. 

Project 17 Joke Shop

This is my 10 second animation of the following ditty.

Rub a dub dub,
Three men in a pub,
10 pints of lager and on to a club.

Hope you like it!!

Project 16 The Haymakers

For three days I had to get up at 3:45am and create and photograph an inspired piece of work with the rising of the sun.

Project 15 TV Sketchbook

In this project I had to be creative and experimental by getting close to the TV screen and experiment by taking 1000 pictures with different shutter speeds and apertures, long exposures and engage with the television purely visually.

Project 14 Konigsberg Oeuvre

We went to the Prince Charles Cinema to watch "Midnight in Paris" which was written and directed by Allan Stewart Konigsberg.  Better known as Woody Allen.  Our task was to remake the film in under a minute.

My team were made up of Joan Gerard, Denis Bettio, Jacob Jelen, Sara Jenkins and Sam Pattison.

Our team swept the board at the UEL Oscars 2011 with Oscars for Best Film and the Best Supporting Actress MeeEEE! :)  

Project 13 Farm to Market

For this project we had to do some live drawings of the animals of Hackney City Farm.  We also had to visit some markets to draw retro items. And finally the simplified logo of the drawings from above.

Project 12 Skate or Die!

Fig.1 Purely decorative 90's

 Fig.2 Conceptually Lead 80's

   Fig.3 Typographic 70's
Fig.4 Pro Model 00's

It was very interesting project in which I had the opportunity to know more about skateboarding culture.  We had to design a visual theme from the Classic mid1980's deck shape for 70's, 80's, 90's & the Noughties. (The last two Designs are especially to honor my bigest fan "My Dad" x).

Project 11 Think Crime

The project was to design, execute and document the perfect crime.  Its time to confess my accomlpice in this fun crime was Michael Hixon!:) ( thanks for taking the pictures).

Project 10 The Graphic Design Cookbook

We had to design and make a cake based on a letter from a font of our choice.  We also had to produce a cookbook style reciepe complete with photographs.  I enjoyed many parts of this project from designing the cake mould to baking my first cake yipppeeee!!!

Project 9 Top Trump

For this project we were again asked to use Adobe InDesign to create a Top Trump Card based on ourselves and our artistic abilities.

Project 8 The Wing of a Bee

We were asked to design the wing of a Butterfly.  One side by hand and the other by using Adobe InDesign.  This was a very interesting project for me because it was the first time I had used the software.

Project 6 Matchmaker

This brief was to design a wrapping paper for the Matches Brand to be used for their Christmas Promtion.  Here are my two designs.

Project 7 Brick

We had to come up with 100 uses for a brick.  After hitting a few brick walls (ahem!) here is my brainstorm.

Project 5 Pay to Play

In this project everyone was asked for £1 which was placed into a pot.  At the conclusion of the project the person with the best project wins the pot of money.  Another colleague ended up winning this time but I am very happy with my design.

Project 4 Meet Me On The Corner

This project was like a cultural treasure hunt where we had to visit 40 places in central London in one day.  I was glad to find some undiscovered places off the beaten track that I had never found before.  This was a another great way of integrating the group.  With the photographs and the drawing that I had taken during the trip I have produced an A2 size poster and a video which you can see here.

Project 3 Brand Me Up Buttercup!

For this project we worked in pairs with an end goal of creating a logo based on our partners personality using their name.  My partner was called Long Hung Loung or just "Long" for short.  I was very pleased that he really liked the logo.  :)

Project 2 Stairway to Helvetica

In this project we were asked to choose a random typeface and create a song about it.  Our typeface
was Magneto and we based our song on the hit "thats not my name" by the Ting Tings.
