Dissertation

After months of working on my dissertation its finally written, designed, printed and beautifully bound. My dissertation explored the portrayal of women in advertising. Focusing on the role of the housewife portrayed both today and throughout history. The design I used on my dissertation is inspired by the 1950s in which the housewife image was at its peak. Heres a selection of the pages.

YCN Visit

Today at the university of northampton we were lucky enough to be visited by the lovely people from the ycn and also the brand mager from Tuborg who have set one of the competition briefs this year. It was a really interesting presentation and inspired me to continue working on my chosen brief.

Alice in Wonderland 3D white rabbit

A project that i completed last year included a 3D version of the white rabbit from the Alice in Wonderland story. The rabbit is made from paper and was photographed to be used on a book cover design.

YCN Fedrigoni Alice in Wonderlands tea party.

The YCN briefs are out again for this year so i thought i would take this opportunity to show you what i submitted last year. My outcome was a paper tea party based on the mad hatters tea party from alice in wonderland. The idea was that people would recieve a blank cake box slice invitation that they had to decorate and bring along with them. This would help show off their own creativity as well as the diversity of the paper Fedrigoni produce.

Print experimentation

Some print experimentation from earlier this year. Papercut repeat patterns that were then printed over with to create interesting effect. These would look lovely as screenprints, something i hope to develop in the future.
