Magfest || 2016

 For this project, we were tasked with creating a magazine in groups of four. The magazine would then be given out to 350 people at Edinburgh's annual Magfest event in September 2016. The magazine could be based on any theme we wanted, so we decided on celebrating the 'Art of Print'. This project enabled us to interview artists and designers while highlighting the beauty of print.

Packaging The Creatives || 2016

 Our fourth project in second year was to pick an artist or art movement and create a product based around them. Research was to be our main focus for this project, we had to completely immerse ourselves in our artist or movement. I chose Andy Goldsworthy as i've always been really fascinated by his work. I decided to create a DIY terrarium kit. It would be a subscription box, aimed at students, in order to get them to inject more green in their homes. It would be seasonal, so there would be a summer, spring, winter and autumn one.

Downtown Dundee || 2015

There is an area in Dundee that consists of five streets, and is known to the locals as 'Downtown Dundee'. Our third project in second year was given to us by one of the shop owners in this area, and it was to brand the area. The aim was to increase footfall in the area.
In order to promote this I decided to create a series of posters, stickers and loyalty cards, highlighting the colours of the area, and the beauty of it through photography. I decided to take out the vowels in order to make people stop and stare, before coming closer and encourage them to visit the area.

What, When, Where? || 2015

As the V&A opening is hot news in Dundee at the moment, one of our projects in second year was to create a double sided A2 broadsheet promoting an exhibition that would be held there. We had to pick a subject or art movement from the 20th century that was considered a classic. I chose to explore 50's and 60's fashion as I felt like those years were a real turning point in fashion, with creations such as the mini skirt, shift dress and leather jacket, to name a few. These are now timeless classics in the world of fashion.

It was our first real introduction to grid systems and layouts as a designer, which were difficult but also rewarding.

Big Screen To Small Screen || 2015

My first project in second year involved creating a sculpture and incorporating it into a poster advertising a TV show on Netflix. We were randomly allocated TV shows and I got 'Dexter'. I chose to focus on the double identity of the main character. I also played around with shadows and light to create an interesting silhouette of him. I also used finger prints to make it more interesting as Dexter steals his victims identities.
