For my Final Major Project in BA Hons graphic design I decided to take on the challenge of developing a new wayfinding system for international airports, and possibly more specifically London's Heathrow. This will include signage layout design, Icon development, Typeface development / exploration and a small promotional campaign. I thought I would share some... Continue Reading →
Self Initiated Critical Reflection.
Myself and three other design students/friends decided that we would jump straight into our own critical theory session. We gave ourselves two weeks to prepare something that we could show to each other and then feedback on, we also saw this as a good opportunity to film and possibly place into our podcasts. So armed... Continue Reading →

I've noticed a large improvement in my ability to do quick sketches of letter forms (primarily the letter "a") just to get my... Continue Reading →

It was a good way of... Continue Reading →
