  • Goodnight Mister Tom
    Goodnight Mister TomHere is my submission for this years Penguin book cover competition. I chose the children's book 'Goodnight Mister Tom', which tells the story of the relationship of a man and a boy, each with their own struggles, during the war. The brief asked to make this book stand out on a busy shelf, as well as on an online setting. I noticed that the original covers often saw a young boy, an elderly man and a dog, accompanied by war planes in the background. I wanted to ensure this book appealed to a yo
  • The Missing Link
    The Missing LinkThis is a publication showcasing an essay written by me, exploring how demographics are changing in the modern world and how design can help to bridge the gap between generations. The essay discusses issues within design such as digital vs print and designers such as Freddie Smithson (@freddiemade) and David Carson.
  • Merge
    MergeThis is a look book combining a range of collaborative projects with Fashion and Promotion students at Birmingham City University. I maintained a simple, minimalistic layout to ensure the design worked throughout the publication with each diverse project.
  • Isolation
    IsolationThis was a project set by the creative director at Man vs Machine. I was asked to create 3 stills based on feelings and emotions surrounding the recent lockdown period during the pandemic. I explored feelings of loneliness, increased social media use and organisation of time.

This would act as a form of therapy in a simple way as the participant could be anonymous. I began this project right before the current pandemic and therefore was unable to actually hold the installation and for people to participate. Nonethe
  • 21st Century Problems
    21st Century ProblemsThis project explores the views that Generation-Z have about the current world they live in and is made up of three zines. I conducted a survey asking for examples of 21st century problems, both trivial and humorous and then came up with some solutions for these problems. Each zine explores these issues through illustration and type in a playful yet informative way.
