4th Year, degree show business cards



Ahhhh the time has finally come... a sneak preview of my business cards before they go out.

4th year main project, childrens book (DEGREE SHOW PIECE)



Just before I finished my editorial project someone close to me got very ill. I wanted to continue with my nature theme so tried to think of a way that I could channel my thoughts of what was going on at home somewhere in my project. I decided that due to the nature of the illness I was going to create a childrens book to help them along the journey, which I have had to take to the later part of this year as I know from past experience there is not a lot out there for children when things like this happen.

My childrens book can be seen above.

4th year main project, editorial



Leading on from my Interim show piece I came across a magazine article in the TIME magazine. I thought this article would be a perfect opportunity for me to create an editorial piece. I worked with the idea of the fibonacci sequence and the screen print that I had created for my interim show and came up with an editorial idea which can be seen above.

4th Year Interim show/ exhibition


My interim show was based on the inspiration that I had came across whilst researching my topic and my main theme. I was interested in the great details of the natural plant forms and influencial people such as Karl Blossfeldt, and D'Arcy Thompson when coming up with my idea for this piece. I wanted to create something that would interest and excite people so created an origami sculpture from tiny pieces of paper all put together to create this one big piece of artwork.

My interim show piece can be seen above.
