Grad 1

These are some images from my Grad 1 project where I was looking at visual metaphors. It was for mental illness and specifically anxiety and depression. I was doing a lot of conceptual thinking and trying to get things to link. I was trying to show these illnesses through imagery and exploring how this could be done. I didn't quite get to finish my final pieces but here are some screen prints as far as I got and some one of them I began to work over them with cotton as I wanted to keep the mixed media style. I think they are working well so far i am trying to represent but definitely need finishing off.

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.
