In celebration of 150 years of the London Underground, I screen-printed this poster using 2 inks for an exhibition showcasing Poster Art from the past.
Profiles of the most widely used drones from all over, the reality of their control, and the condemning of their glorification as marvels of technological warfare.
The true casualties from the “War on Terror” have been grossly underestimated. After further research I decided to create a striking info-graphic and 3D sculpture that could be viewed as both a work of art, and also a testament to the true errors the war has made.
A short series of typographic awareness posters for World Trade Center 7, the third tower to collapse on the day of 9/11.
In order to break the Islamophobic taboo, I made an elegant typeface in both form and style to reflect the true beauty in the stereotype. Creating decorative patterns with each glyph and using them throughout this specimen.
Taking the form of a holy book, this publication aims to question the notion of blame when throwing around such a dangerous word. Terreō is Latin for 'I Frighten'.
Thirteen years since the "War on Terror" began, how has the longest conflict in US history altered Terrorism, or is it just using the term to justify an injustice equally as "Terrorish" as its foes.
Examining the Truman Show dilemma and the fears stopping us from seeking the truth. Everything from George Orwell’s prediction of 1984 to the Hermit Kingdom of North Korea. Riddled with manipulated 1950s/60's advertising.
ISTD brief, focusing on Protest and the constant battle between human rights and police brutality. In doing so I began to draw a comparison between "Aggression & Oppression" and this became my underlying theme throughout the publication.

GRAPHIC DESIGNER
& CREATIVE
"You have to be somebody before you
can share yourself." – Jaron Lanier
I've been an artist and avid designer for as long as I can remember, and it's always stuck with me as a talent to pursue. Mainly I work with print & digital, trying to keep up to date with contemporary trends in the design circuit whilst staying true to my own style and beliefs.
Before design came art – mainly surrealism and portraiture – which has aided in the design I produce today. During my younger education and foundation course I have improved both my artistic skill set with pen, pencil and paintbrush, as well as digitally. and commercially.
I love the idea of an unsolvable problem, usually because once solved, you have produced something truly unique - something that has never been achieved before. My goal throughout my life will be to find and to solve many of these little gems before I throw in the towel.
As well as the above, creativity cannot exist without well written words, and word play – whether it's a poem, a pun or just plain old punctuation. This is a crucial part of me and my style. Sometimes I find it's the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.
Advertising is my ideal career path, but I want my work to reach the minds of the blissfully unaware. With protest as a main focal point of my current design, I hope to help raise awareness and bring about a change in the way we view this rock in which we all occupy.
Stop motion animation and also moving image pieces are painstakingly time consuming processes, but the eventual end result can create a greater impact than a print. Stories can be told easier, and messages can be conveyed clearer. I have made a few so far with more to come.
During the summer I moved over to San Francisco, CA, to find a job in design. Whilst there I was offered a paid role as art director for an artisanal fragrance boutique. There I designed packages for stock, adverts for magazines and email blasts along side the creation of their 2014/15 catalogue. Which I directed all the photography, style, editorial layouts and copywriting for.
After being introduced to a young musical artist and record label entrepreneur from Los Angeles I was given the opportunity to create the logo and overall branding.
Clothing brand I was asked to be the art designer for creating the logo and various t-shirt designs with animal illustrations, fit for online retail.
For work experience I had the opportunity of working in one of the top agencies in London, formerly known as Inferno. This really started my passion for the creative industry, and mainly the advertising role. Whilst there I was able to work with other creatives, planning and brainstorming for new campaigns with brands such as Lynx, J2O and many more. I also spent a week in their 'suits' department, researching the latest viral ad campaigns and trends to bring to the table.
Creating an identity for a start-up holistic cleansing company. I was involved in everything from art direction, mood, colour palette and ultimately the brand logo and slogan.

BTEC Foundation, Art & Design/ Distinction
Following my foundation course at UCA, I chose to study Graphic Design at UWE due to its strong emphasis on work ethic and their ability to prepare students for the real world.
I started this foundation course simply because I wasn't sure which creative field I wanted to take. With the help from my tutors I was able to choose Graphic Design as my pathway and enjoyed every skill they taught me.
My mother is an avid Scrabbler, and during a game I couldn't help but admire the unique wearing on each of the wooden tiles. It gave each letter its own feel from years of play and shuffling around in a bag. I felt by using two separate versions of each letter, with different levels of wear, I could achieve the same regurgitated effect in this font.
Using Illustrator and FontLab Studio 5 I was able to achieve this quick personal project I had been meaning to undertake for a while.
