Small Hours Aperitif
2025
Working with Tomás Ireland, a final-year Graphic Design student at DJCAD, to create illustrations for a speakeasy-style non-alcoholic aperitif. The final illustrations were inspired by the concept of lock-ins - having a secretive drink into the early hours.Irish History Group - Govanhill Baths Community Trust2025
Commissioned by Govanhill Baths Community Trust to Design the Irish History Group’s visual identity, which informed my brochure design. Let The Lilac In - Poem by Michael Pederson
2024
The animation is the result of collaboration with the Poet Michael Pederson. I was inspired by the works of William Kentridge, Lizzy Hobbs and Anwyn Beier throughout my development process. I found a specific interest in communicating the sleepy feeling the poem depicts, drawing from Pederson’s expressive descriptions of nature within my own imagery, which was elevated through the use of charcoal, which I later inverted and overlayed onto cyanotype backgrounds.Luna Finds Her Luster - A Children’s Book Proposal
2024
My primary studio practice this year has revolved around storytelling, considering a range of audiences, with a strong focus on character design throughout my development of this project. My children’s book proposal follows a little girl as she goes on an adventure to find her passion. The books of Martin Salisbury, who visited for a talk during the year, were beneficial in my understanding of the theories behind the process, considering counterpoint and duet to create interest within my storyline in which the audience understands that Luna has found her passion before she has – creating a dual narrative effect. The idea that the intended audience feels wiser than the protagonist was a concept that I prioritised throughout my development of the narrative.
A Collection of Editorial Illustrations2024
This publication is a collection of six articles selected from three different magazines, of which three were animated. I selected the articles to create a theme surrounding women’s issues with a few advice style/mindfulness articles.
I was particularly interested in considering the format throughout my process, combining the articles within the text and employing semiotics and wit to aid the reader’s experience and understanding of the articles. The work of Hannah Robinson was, therefore, a great inspiration throughout my development. The publication, which resulted, was an opportunity to consider graphic design techniques and explore different mediums before undertaking my children’s book proposal.
Dookit Brewery Label Competition2024
Reimagining ‘Treat Yo Self!’ by Hazel Dunn to create a playful summer-based image that goes alongside the second edition of the beer - ‘Treat Yo Self Silly!’. With even more fruity flavours, I took inspiration from drinking in the park with friends on a summer’s Eve to create this visual.
