Current Brief - Satanism

Based on a quote by religious leader Blanche Barton, I intend to stylise Satanism. There are a lot of commonsensical teachings within the practice and many people are misinformed, my intention is to prove that all religions have merit and through research one can see there are deviations of all religions, that should not be affiliated with the main

The Rules of Attraction 25th Anniversary

Ahead of its 25th anniversary I wanted to interpret a collection of quotations taken from the Bret Easton Ellis novel and represent them typographically. Themes within the book such as drug use and disposability prompted me to transfer these designs onto fast food packaging and typographic posters that folded down to simulate drug wraps. The entire set consists of a design for the book binding, bookmarks, posters and the fast food packaging to house all of these. The aim was to celebrate how terrible human beings can really be through humour.

12 Series zines

Celebrating the best of cinema smut, 12 Series explores some of the most disturbing films ever made both in terms of psychology and gore. Although designed to a strict grid, these zines are experimental in layout to convey the feeling of chaos within the films themselves.

Current Brief - The Waitress

An ISTD brief that requires you to explore the idea of the new reader and how they receive stories and through researching into cafe/diner menu design through the decades I represented the story in this way.

Dogtooth zine

Zine based on the Greek film Dogtooth.

Kitsky Scotch Whisky

This was my response to a D&AD competition brief to rebrand Scotch Whisky to appeal to women instead of men; trying to get away from the traditional ‘heather and weather’ imagery. Rather than to directly appeal to women, I decided to go in a differ-ent direction; I wanted to instead suggest that women were manipu-lative; by manipulating them. In the similar way that cartoons have the ability to interest both children and adults (visuals; children, dia-logue; adults) I intended to create something that was attractive to women, but used primarily by men to lure them.

I have told myself a thousand times not to be shocked, but every time I am shocked again by what people will do to have fun, for reasons they cannot explain.

Current Brief - Meat is Theatre!

Based on the prologue from Will Self ’s novel ‘My Idea of Fun’, these set of zines visually explore how we find pleasure in the perverse. It draws excerpts from other lit-erature sources such as American Psycho and Crash. J.G. Ballard explains that his writing aims to force us into confronting our behaviour in rubbing our noses in the atrocities we endure.
