The posters were designed to highlight the importance of typographic detailing. Explaining how these small considerations in typography can make a huge different. It shows how these elements can bring the words together and clarify their correct meaning.

Man Up, Cleaning Products for Men
Playing on the personality of my consumer, the young male, who stereotypically only clean when they really have to: in an emergency.
My brand is all about helping facilitate this, I don’t want to change my consumers habits, I want to bring humour into cleaning products by assisting them in their ways, playing on for example, them only cleaning when they’ve got a visitor, and they absolutely have to. A kit for an emergency clean sweep.
Man Up presents products for super speed and super simplicity in cleaning, verging on cheat methods. Man Up elimates the the trauma of choice, and even the drama of going down the cleaning aisle. Man Up provides the essentials, the perfect product for what a man needs to do. The product will be promoted in the beer aisle, where my typical audience would pay regular visits too.
The three cleaning products.
The Kit, products packaged in a beer box, with a beer to help you chill out after the trauma of the cleaning.
Exhibition Catalogue for the National Maritime Museum Cornwall
Using the given content which was unedited text, I was to produce a catalogue for the Maritime Museum’s 10th Anniversary. This involved deciding on the hierachy, designing, photography, book binding etc.
Pencil Packaging for Museum of Emotion
The Museum of Emotion, a temporary exhibition in London asked the questions where and how do we express our emotions? Artists were commissioned to evoke emotions through creating interactive environments. An ephemeral experience was created by light, sound and installation exploring how feeling is lost, found and express through the context of the museum.
Asked to design the Packaging for a six pack of standard sized pencils for the museum, I focused on using eyebrows. Eyebrows are a key element in expressing emotions, therefore I though pencils which can manipulate and show your emotions would be fun. The pencils communicated 6 major emotions, happy, sad, angry, shocked, serious and confused.
My dog even tried them out!
Final Memories Book, ‘Buttoned Up’
‘Buttoned Up’ Linking to the memories I had of being really shy when I was younger, the book is about, growing to cover up the shyness. I have memroies from every age linking to being shy, as I got older these horrible memories got lesser, and less prominent. I grew inconfidence and became more myself as a person, this helped me hide the little shy girl away. My book is about typographically representing these memories, using a height chart.. as a means of symbolising the growing up and away from the shyness. The book is taller than me and folds to fit into a matchbox, allowing the reader to originally be presented with a small reserved designed matchbox, which they will then open up to find a book which grows and grows. This is the final mock up, after at least 10 previous ones. Getting 6 foot of paper to fold into a matchbox has proved quite difficult. It is to be printed onto ‘drafting film’ a thicker, matte alternative to tracing paper, using a laser printer, which will hopefully give a higher quality print.

Induction, Week 4. Thinking Visually. Data
Design some sort of system which documents every item of clothing you have with you in Falmouth.
I got all my clothes out and made a huge table and recorded everything, size, colours, price, where they were made, shop etc. I discovered all sorts including how much they cost me which was horrific as a thought. The interesting thing I found was where they were from. I decided to plot these on a map, obviously some countries had made lots of my clothes such as china. I had the countries and the amount of items from each in another table, i plotted these with the amounts. I decided to represent the amounts with different sized buttons. I then sewed the buttons onto a canvas with a map of the world, I later removed the map and was left with an abstract piece.
Induction, Week 1, The Design Process
4 day project.
Brief-Design a Mnemonic which commmunicates the design process, as a visual device to help you remember and apply this process in all the projects you undertake.
I decided to represent the elements with shapes, which i then put on playing cards to make them more visually interesting.
