09 Portfolio

This is the result of a lot of hard work,
tons of support and advice
from tutors, family and friends.

This is a page displaying layouts of the FEED magazines.
I got the chance to interview, write and layout
my own article as well as other layouts within the book.

From all of this I was made Senior Designer,
which was amazing because I had so much fun.
The layouts of fashion based articles and
designing the images to represent them, collaborating
with photographers and talking to writers.

Then with pressure, stress and deadlines on top
was hard at the time but it pushed me
to work hard and utilise my time properly.

This was my first project in my portfolio
and finalising this project brought
the passion and drive I needed to do more and want more.

These pages were of grammar lessons,
I attended with Simon.

Mainly this was meant to be an exercise
to refresh and make sure we knew that anything written
had the correct use of grammar and punctuation.

This series of posters informing the grammar rules
with the use of song lyrics using the appropriate grammar.
Making it easy to relate to and understand.
Overall the final pieces are simple
but sophisticated enough to engage the audience.

A double page spread from a pitch with Tim Joplin.
A local photographer that requested designs
to showcase his work within a book and to be developed
into different avenues if it was chosen.

Pitching has definately got its adavantages
where you can be face to face with the client
and explain what you want to portray
from the brief and how.

To be able to do that is how I practically improve,
presenting and with vocabulary I use.

This was a pitch that I won along with another student.
It was a fantastic project in which I got to work
with the head of school, the music department teachers and the students.

It was insight into how that industry works
and how a graphic designer would fit in.

It all went so fast but was a great night
and the weridest part for me was the break down
because it happened so fast
and felt like it never happened.

This was the 08 Fashion Show which I was a model in.
This was the 3rd one I was in. Its so much fun
with the girls along with it being great to wear
fantastic, inventive clothes.

However this year's show had a difference
because I was also fortunate enough to learn
and practice the the post production process.

The reel that was completed for the college's fashion
department is still used and has it's place even in
the ever changing style trends.

This was a live brief for an interior, branding design of a hair, beauty and holistics therapy department.
