The Innocent Image
For my BA Graphic Design dissertation I wrote on the subject of early childhood memories and education.
I reviewed the changing role of technology within the mediums of children’s books, animations and television shows. I questioned whether the advancements in technology have benefited what children view today apposed to the things of the past.
Furthermore I explored the links between childrens’ toys and storytelling.

Each chapter of the essay occupies it's own book and is held inside the main book in a different way for each page. |
 |
Pages have been specially paper engineered, allowing the characters that have been commented on in the essay to be three–dimensional. This creates a playful dynamic for the reader to interact with when reading. |
 |
|
 |
Each inner book is formed from a different outer cover material. In the case of the chapter entitled ‘Toys’ the cover is made from felt. |
 |
Some pages within this book are envelopes and hold pictures of subjects discussed in the essay. For example, in this section Bruno Munari’s Pre Libri (Pre Books) are discussed and pictured on removable pages within |

 |
The chapter’s conclusion is enlarged and occupies its own page contained within the final envelope. |

Modern America
A series exploring the structure and rhythm of three selected texts. One excerpt is from a poem, the other two from political addresses.
I selected three texts representing the progress in modern American history with regard to race and politics.
Inspiration is drawn from the typographic connections and pastiche from the era in which the texts were first spoken. |

Preconscious
A project exploring the possibilities of a book, simply as a piece of art. Exploration can be through different dimensions and form but without the use of words.
The book's front cover symbol draws inspiration from Sigmund Freud’s ‘Iceberg Metaphor’ in his theory of The Topography Of The Mind.
The Preconscious (represented in red) is a distinguished middle point, both separating and balancing the conscious (white) and subconscious (black) minds from each other in the triangle.

Faber & Faber
For a range of books entitled ‘Faber Film’ I created a typographic system to categorise the series that included 60 titles.
The range was specifically for print on demand and would be sold via the web. Therefore quick and simple alterations between different titles would need to
My solution was to create a single typographic system displaying all the relevant information. The required details are simply reversed from black to white and the title is added in the outer dial.
The appearance of the dial loosely draws inspiration from film reels and camera lenses.

The spine similarly uses the reversing technique, however only displaying the
This would allow the series to stand out on a bookshelf, looking more impressive the closer the amount got to the total of all 60 books. |

Greed of the Rich
Information graphic representing a Guardian newspaper article on population growth by George Monbiot. Brief restrictions:
– Must use Minion and/or Helvetica. – Must be single page A2 – Horizontal format
I combined the layout of text with a full page chart to interlink and highlight the relevant information in the article. This allows the viewer to read the spread as one, with facts of significant importance given visual emphasis to enhance key points within the text.

Sharing Stories
A collaboration with Central Saint Martins fashion design student Wing LK. We each exchanged a story from our cultural background with one another, before interpreting or representing that story using the same piece of material. |
 |
The subject matter of the stories was meetings. Wing gave me the traditional Chinese story ‘The Moon Princess’. And in return I gave her the Brothers Grimm tale |
 |
Each book has the story set in both languages – English and Cantonese. The English text fills the left hand side of each page, with the Cantonese set on the right. |

A Is For Andy
An alphabet book representing quotes of famous people from history.
Each page represents a different letter, which can be inspired from a word in the quote, or the quoted authors first or second name. This is not obvious at first and creates a puzzle for the reader to work out.
