Brief
Proposition
Response
Produce a piece of design for an exhibition
exploring the idea of humanity in a variety of
ways.
Exploring the four cardinal virtues of humanity,
considered their greatest qualities; Fortitude,
Justice, Prudence and Temperance, this
brief answered an external question of our
existence as humans.
Virtues are accepted as the basic qualities required for human beings to experience
happiness and general well being. Taking inspiration from a traditional deck of tarot cards this
brief was later expanded to include the remaining Major Arcana.
TAROT Self Authored Project 2015
Expansion
Development
The Existence brief was later repurposed and
expanded as part of a self authored project,
where I went on to develop my original four
cards to incorporate all twenty-two of the
Major Arcana found in a traditional tarot deck,
along with a storage chest and information
booklet.
Developing the deck to include the entire Major Arcana meant creating a further 18 cards
upon my original set, inspiration was drawn from varied sources including the most famous
tarot illustrations, the Rider-Waite Deck as well as in depth research into the iconography and
meaning behind each individual card in regards to cartomancy, the art of fortune telling using
playing cards. The cards include various ëcharacterí cards such as The Devil or The Magician
and also ëscenicí cards such as The Tower or The World, adding variety to the collection.
TAROT Self Authored Project 2015
Packaging
To accompany the cards I also produced some supporting material; an information
booklet, detailing information on each of the cards, their associations and their common
interpretations. I also built a container to house both the deck of cards and the information
booklet, incorporating a pattern that reflected the pattern found on the reverse of the cards
into the lid of the container.
WWF ë52 Waysí CampaignCreative Conscience Silver Award Winner
Brief
Response
The D&AD Brief submitted by WWF was to
create a campaign that would inspire its
audience to be more engaged with creating
a better and greener world. The brief asked
to target the ëalways oní generation of 14-24
year-olds. This project listed as a finalist for the
Creative Conscience Awards 2015, with final
results pending.
Working as part of a team, we created
an integrated campaign that invited the
audience to make one small change to
their daily routines throughout the year. The
campaign included a mixture of both print
and digital elements including calendars, a
mobile application and a website.
WWF ë52 Waysí CampaignCreative Conscience Silver Award Winner
Response
As conservation campaigns tend to rely on shock value and negative imagery, we
purposefully set out to create a campaign that was more inviting and welcoming for the
audience, drawing them in using positive messages for change rather than
The use of hand-drawn, playful illustrations within the campaign was an intentional design
decision intended to make the campaign more visually inviting to the target audience, being
both appealing to the younger end of the spectrum as well as none threatening to the older
members of the target audience.
Hetairia Wines External Brief set by Elmwood 2015
Brief
Response
To create a range of premium wine
packaging that has a cohesive and desirable
look across three wine bottles using
typography, illustration or photography.
Hetairia is an Ancient Greek word for a secret society, which was the foundation for the
packaging range and a brand identity built around exclusivity and mystery.
The illustrations on each bottle have slight variations in style and recurring images, for
example; the bottle for white wine includes a recurring diamond motif where the rosÈ bottle
features heart shaped images. Each bottle is housed in a plain black container with a label
attached to identify the blend of wine housed inside through the use of an illustration of a key
that corresponds to the illustration on the wine bottle contained within the packaging.
Stoke-on-Trent Scrabble Tiles Themed Brief: ëStoke-on-Trentí 2014
Brief
Proposition
Response
To create a piece of design that celebrated
the unique culture and history of the Stokeon-Trent area.
The ëPotteriesí Dialect is unique to the Stokeon-Trent area, unlike other regional dialects
the Potteries dialect often replaces words with
completely different ones in ever day life.
Taking inspiration from one of Stoke-on-Trentís most famous ceramicists; Thomas Minton, I
created a series of ceramic scrabble tiles featuring a pattern reminiscent of Stoke-On-Trentís
traditional blue ceramic transfers and incorporating Mintonís signature use of a circular image
housed within a square frame on his tiles.
The tiles were created using heat transfers and firing each tile in a kiln, the collection of tiles
included over one hundred separate tiles corresponding to the amount found in a traditional
scrabble set.

Platform Hills;
Television Town;
Fashion Forest;
Pillow Fort;
Ever since I was young I played video
games such as Mario and Sonic and
fell in love with the side-scrolling plat
forming worlds, that were filled with
bright-eyed and colourful characters
and settings.
The colourful and playful style of
these games continue to inspire
me to this day, with their strong flat
visuals.
I’m a huge fan of TV and Cinema, I
love fictional stories where amazing
thing happen that couldn’t possibly
happen in real life. Fantasy plays a
prominent role in my personal work
as well as playing a large role in the
inspiration and development of my
personal style as a whole.
Fashion Forest is a popular destination for many citizens of Corey-Land,
here they can roam amongst the
Jumper Trees and make sure they
are all dressed in the finest clothes.
The Pillow Fort is home to the Pillow
People and is the militaristic hub of
Corey-Land.
Pillow Fort is also place for the
citizens of Corey-Land to relax and
feel safe and have a really good nap
within the soft walls of the Pillow
Fort.

Create a CV that reflects your personality as
both an individual and a designer, highlighting your key strengths and abilities.
In addition to your CV you will also be required to produce a letterhead, compliment
slip and business card.
For my personal branding I created ëCoreyLandí a fantasy world where everything I love
and create can come together in one place
and that could reflect my personality and
style of working.
Corey-Land is filled with a variety of colourful characters and locations; from the Wonderfalls,
an embodiment of creativity and inspiration to the Catís Castle, an area populated entirely by
cats. Other areas within Corey-Land reflect other parts of my personality and life-style such as
Fast-Food Junction, Television Town and the Fashion Forest.
Maps provided in theme parks such as Alton Towers and Drayton Manor inspired the overall
illustration of Corey-Land.

Promotional Material
The CV itself was crater to work as a three-fold leaflet, with my personal information and
details on one side and the map of Corey-Land on the reverse side. The overall colour
scheme was informed by the sky backdrop of the map itself but also reflects my calm
personality and the clouds represent the fact that I tend to have my ëhead in the cloudsí. I also
created a cartoon portrait graphic to use across my promotional material as my logo.
