My work sits within the broad category of ‘Graphic Design’ but touches on an array of different media and context, both in traditional and digital spaces.
Over the last two years I have increasingly explored how our communication is changing across new and developing platforms, its relationship with traditional practice and how that is affecting design in a wider sense. This motivation manifested in the creation of the Eady Forum, with Adrian Shaughnessy, Joe Pielichaty & Jess Morgan, a discussion group exploring the current context of graphic design. The Forum has held events and workshops with high profile speakers from around the industry, curated exhibitions as well as producing a publication that will be launched at this year’s show. The challenge extended beyond just organising and curating these events, we developed a progressive re-imagining of ‘branding’ to create the visual identity and manifesto for the group, as well as an online publishing platform and a constant turnover of promotional material.
Within my personal work I have explored a number of smaller conceptual projects, but a constant theme has been how traditional design thinking translates into digital media. Starting with my dissertation on the link between modernist design practice and digital interactive design, I have explored how our tools for communication are changing, culminating with my project ‘Harmonised Form Tool’, which proposes a new language system, using technology to provide an intuitive form of communication.
