I am a hardworking, ambitious student and I am passionate about what I do and the work I create. I am currently studying Art and Design and have learnt and developed digital and technical skills in programmes such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop throughout my college time. During my work experience at a Graphic Design studio I was reassured this was the programme for me and I would love to continue and develop my existing knowledge and skills about Graphic Design at a higher level.

Screen Print - Alphabet


This screen print was produced in my first year for my NCFE printmaking. The aim of the project was to produce a hand generated alphabet  that would be screen printed onto a mixed media background using different types of media and techniques.

Advertising Campaign - Healthy Eating


The brief to this project was to produce an advertising campaign based on the theme healthy eating. I took my own photographs and combined them with text to create a strong, effective design for my target audience 'parents', using Adobe Illustrator.

Printmaking


My task was to produce a set of prints based on the theme 'traces'. I looked further into the given theme and chose to base my prints on my family and the war. The three outcomes above were produced from old photographs using an etching technique.

V&A Poster


Using my own hand generated text and imagery I created a poster advertising an art exhibition as part of my NCFE digital imaging. I used layering and different effects on Photoshop to combine my information with imagery to produce a clear detailed poster design.

Painting




This aim of this project was to create a large painting on canvas that could be exhibited at the Frieze Art Fair. The theme I based my painting on was ‘missed connections’ which was inspired by the work of Sophie Blackall. I used my own photography to create an individual style to the painting and produced a textured background by using a layering and collage technique. On the right are two compositions that i created by experimenting with different types of paint and materials at the beginning of the project.

CD design



The brief was to design a CD cover using Photoshop based on my inspiration of Urban places. I produced this by combining a selection of imagery and previous sketchbook work together. 

Card Designs



The compositions above are two of four card designs I produced, that would be sold in an art gallery shop called 'Fusion'. To create the imagery I layered hand generated work from previous sketchbooks along with fabrics using Photoshop.
