dot magazine

For this project I had to design spread for a contemporary genre of magazine, the topic I choose to explore was burlesque and its perception as well as how it made the people that did it feel. Below are images of the final spreads.

An interesting hanger concept

During my research for packaging design for a project, I came across this impressive design concept that incorporates a hanger and a bag. I think this is a brilliant idea as from previous experience working in a clothes shop, I found putting hangers into a bag a nightmare.

During my dissertation research on Art Deco, I came across this lego replica of an Art Deco building and the Art Deco Miami Hotel.

Shape Animals

These are some characters I designed in my spare time. I am hoping to design a storybook with them and come up with some more shape characters. The new characters that have been added are; diamond fish and parallelogram rabbit.

Old game packaging

During my visit to my grandparents I came across these games spirograph and whot card and was interested by their packaging. I like the simple use of bright colours to attract children's attention, as well as simple patterns and type on the boxes.

Manifesto

These are various steps you can carry out in order to save energy in everyday life.

1) Cook together to save turning the oven on and off.

2) Switch off plugs that aren't in use.

3) Turn the tap off when your not using it e.g when brushing your teeth don't leave the tap running.

4) Switch the television off at the plug, don't leave it on standby.

5) Only leave your laptop on sleep for 30 minutes, if you leave it longer shut it down.

6) Walk when you can instead of using a car.

Burlesque Style Photo shoot

These are photos taken from a photo shoot I did for a magazine article on burlesque. The idea is to celebrate curves and represent the teasing element of burlesque.
