PORTFOLIO
I Graduated in 2015 with a BA GRAPHICS DESIGN DEGREE. Here is all my works used as my current portfolio.
Take your time to read and look. ENJOY!
2D POSTER PROJECT: ‘In this project you are being asked to take a traditional subject (the self-portrait), and challenge its conventions. Read more.
BRICK LANE PROJECT: The first page consists of a bloody postcode sign with the ‘E’ behind the ‘B’ and the ‘1’ in front
of the ‘E’. With blood splatter all over and around the postcode, also a sentence spelling ‘Jack- The-Ripper-Investing-In’, in black writing with a green border. Read more.
DRAWING BY DESIGN: FORM- I see a portrait of 16 squares of drawings, also landscape drawings that consists 8 squares of drawings and 4 squares, showing the final drawings; of A4 paper individually. The drawings were created using a black fine line marker; the drawings in the frame have both positive and negative space, which is created by mark making. Read more.
FOUNDATION FINAL FLOWERS AND PEOPLE:
I went out to find people in the public to draw. With their permission to take a portrait photo of them and use their portraits in my foundation final major project.
I also asked my volunteers to use one word that can describe themselves.
Followed by finding a flower that matched the one word that described the volunteers.
These are final outcomes. Where I added text and patterns to add finishing touches to the the portraits and flowers. See more.
EXPERIMENTAL TYPOGRAPHY:
- Printed words - shapes/Design/size/colour/arrangement. - Aim - Produce 2 in studio - 2 in independent study - 20 by 20cm Square frame to locate text.
CONSIDER:
1. Mixing up font styles - contrast are good (Plain VS Ornate).
2. Combine different size of font (Upper/ Lower - Expression = shout/whisper).
3. Play with arrangement of letter forms and where they sit in frame (Verticl, Shapes, Upside Down, Center, Corner, Use Edges Crop).
4. Decourate each letter form - character/per- sonality/patterns.
5. Colour/Meaning/ Reinforce/Contradict - layers of meaning words with words.
6. Do not look to preempt designs - let them happen instinctively.
