'The Waitress'
This brief was for ISTD and had the title of 'A Tale to Change the Word'. As part of the brief I have been supplied a story ('The Waitress') which I have to develop a presentation for; almost re-inventing the book some may say.
Throughout my development I tried many layouts and text imagery but settled on a larger scale product - something fun and engaging for the viewers and readers.

'Aboriginal Influences'
In response to a small brief; 'Precious Cargo', surrounding Hull's whaling past I created the alphabet below. It was inspired by an old, handmade aboriginal comb made of whale bone from late 19th Century. (Two versions! - Final one to be exhibited in Ferens Art Gallery).

'Flour Typography'
Just a quick piece of typography I did using flour, followed by a quote.

'Manifesto Piece'
In a 'quick' brief we were to choose a subject we felt close to in some way and produce a manifesto style outcome. My chosen subject was 'hypocriticism' simply as it's a thing many, if not all of us have experienced at some point.
Throughout the piece I had many typical phrases we will all say or hear and not think much of yet when we do actually think about it we realise how silly they are. My favourite was 'Got this phone for FREE. Only paying £30 a month (for a year) and was taken forward to be my final.
The design was based on that of Chris Piascik's work (click the name to see his work!). When choosing the colouring I wanted the full phrase to stand out apart from the 'a month...' piece which I thought fitted well falling into the background, reinforcing the phrase.
The design was chosen to be displayed on a phone case (linking directly to the product) and a money/document wallet, intended to be used for contract documents or money.

'Celebrate' & 'To Have and to Hold'
As part of a monograph surrounding the theme of weddings two small briefs were set: the first to choose and present a word, and the second one, a quote. Both were to be experimental pieces and had to relate to the subject, or its meaning through style or way of presentation.
For the first piece I chose the word 'celebrate' as it's the main aim of a wedding day; to celebrate love, happiness, a new start. Traditionally confetti is thrown after a wedding ceremony to show such emotions thus giving me the perfect material to produce my word.
For the phrase I chose the well known 'To Have and to Hold', taken from the Christian wedding vows and got a couple to hold hands in order to form the letters. The full phrase is presented in capital letters to emphasis it's importance; after all wedding vows are a (legal) promise to each other.
