When I set out to create a conceptual logo for ‘Feast food festival’ I didn’t have a clear path of the direction I wanted it to take, I begin to take inspiration from my conceptual logo that I created on my development research blog and how I could look at incorporating food elements into the […]
Typographic Graphic Standards
My typographical graphic standards were the very first thing I started when approaching the project. I was certain that this would be the most crucial thing that I would need to reflect upon throughout the project when creating other elements to make sure that the rest of the project stayed on brand. My graphic standards […]
Promotional Posters
I took a vastly different approach when creating my promotional posters, they felt as if they were a culmination of all of the other prescribed exercises. I am constantly on a mission of self-improvement which is my goal was for me to one up my previous posts by using motion to capture to promote myself. […]
Photoshop Self Portraits
The avenue I started to look down when creating my photoshop portraits were focused on a multi-cultural, fast paced lifestyle which I grew up in, this led me to look further into how I wanted to explore that and express myself creatively using photoshop. The first self portrait is completely inspired from my passion in […]

Conceptual Logo Design
I have taken 2 completely different approaches to my conceptual wordmark logos. I initially started by curating a list of my interests and experiences and then looked at my forename and surname individually and together, and then also my initials. My interest in astrology, physics and space led me to create the first wordmark which […]
Colour
A Good Use of Colour The use of colour in graphic design plays a huge role in how a piece of media is received by its audience, it evokes emotion and can be used to communicate without the use of type or imagery. The colour choices within the poster allow it to communicate a sense […]
Composition
A Good Composition Composition is a culmination of imagery, type, colour and white space and how they are organised in a certain way to effectively communicate a message and guide the viewer’s eye. This poster effectively uses composition to portray a clear and precise message. The event title takes centre stage being the largest piece […]
Conceptual Design
A Good Use of Conceptual Design Conceptual design in graphic design is the process of taking 2 ideas or messages you are trying to convey, and combining them into one piece of work. Sometimes this can be hidden in plain sight or very obvious. The poster on the left is a great example of conceptual […]
