End of the Line

These recent image uploads are from the 'End of the Line' brief we were given. Our task as the typography group was to design a 3 page spread for the guardian newspaper to inform and create awareness of the problems we are creating from overfishing. We were to find 3 different problems to address with overfishing and raise awareness to the defra, a company who are working in the field of conserving the ocean and trying to stop overfishing. I think the collage images I made work well with eh brief as it enhances the idea of making the best use of what we have left before its too late. I am very pleased with how my final pieces look and think the simplicity and white space works really well to keep the piece balanced and easy to digest.

About Me

Even though Graphic design is visual, I find that a lot of my inspiration comes from music that I listen to. The lyrics or a peculiar arrangement of a song or piece can stir up an emotion and inspire me to think in a different way that can put me in a creative mood. I like music to challenge people and hopefully create something unique and fresh and not just be “good to dance to”. I often work freehand and think there has been a lot of lost beauty since the major influence of the mac, but this is not to say I don’t like using them, I often use them in my work, especially for layout and to touch up or change designs, I just sometimes feel a computer loses some surprising mistakes which can create a new idea and gets you out of the mindset of sticking to one plan and carrying it through. My Design inspiration comes from the likes of "The Why Not Associates", Adrian Shaughnessy and Stanley Donwood. Typography is were I feel my major passion and especially hand made type, which is where my love for the why not associates comes from. I enjoy experimenting with different medias to create new and interesting ways for a typeface and would love to develop this in the near future.
