HISTORY OF SHORTHAND BOOK.

This here is a book on shorthand that I have designed. Here I looked into the history of shorthand, where it’s being taught today, the different systems, and even a part on learning one of the systems. I wanted to include a lot of shorthand writing in this book so I chose these two contrasting colours as the writing multiplies nicely with the type and image.

TAPE POSTER TIMELINE.

Here I have screen-printed a series of posters showing a partial timeline of audio formats through magnetic tape. This was to celebrate and educate of various old formats that have been forgotten through time. I aimed for a retro style with 80’s retro in mind, I feel I have achieved this with the screen print very well. The vivid colours, drop shadows and fonts also help achieve this retro aesthetic.

RSPB POSTER.

I have designed a poster here for RSPB, specifically aimed at their site at Langstone Harbour. What fascinated me most whilst I was researching was the fact that all these different birds fly such long distances. So I wanted my poster to really highlight this and to educate people of the migration patterns.

WHITE SPACE MAGAZINE SPREAD.

Here I designed 2 spreads about white space with the article being written by Keith Robertson. I used Photography for this project as I found it flowed consistently with the spread. I also used just black and white to strengthen contrast and the white space.

WHICH AGES ARE REALLY USING THE INTERNET.

I have designed an interactive infographic showing the ages that use the internet from 2011 up to 2013. The data pulses out like a signal beacon on the left relating back to the internet. There is also additional data on the bottom right, this is where you can look more into the ages internet use over the years with close numbers.

LINKUP APP.

Linkup is a concept of an app which aims to get people out of the house to attend social events, with mental illness being the main issue the app will tackle. This helps people plan local events for just their friends or for anyone local.

CRAFT ACADEMY.

On this project I’ve designed 3 cohesive posters to suit the illustration style of Craft Academy, alongside with 3 beer mat designs. Craft are all about offering apprenticeships so I responded in a way that will also promote their drinks in a friendly way with their worlds in the flavoured bottles.

THE LANDLADY.

Here I have designed a book for Roald Dahl’s short story called The Landlady. This short was published in 1959 so I wanted to give the book an old feel with an off white paper and a serif font. Also the jagged illustrations were to reflect on the unsettling theme of the book.
