The Five Principles - A competition brief set by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) to create a named Interrogating the Truth, spoken by Jeffrey Boakye. My animation is a discussion of the five fundamental principles of social justice with the goal of including them in the curriculum. Using psychology I linked the shape, colour and principle as I wanted each frame of the animation to showcase the identity of each principle clearly and used a grey scale for non-important shapes. 

Kinship Botanical Spirit - A brief set by Brand Opus, to create a drink brand based on a location. I chose to design Kinship a non-alcoholic spirit based on the folklore of the Isle of Skye. I designed each back label to be double-sided with each location shown in an ink drawing on parchment paper to give a historic look back on the island. I used transparent labels as the front labels to represent the crystal-clear water surrounding Skye. 

Pass on Penguin - Personal brief in collaboration with Penguin. I designed a system that gives books a new home in every read. I created a belly band in the shape of a penguin's body, with the flippers wrapped around the book, creating the warmth and comfort a penguin book can give. It can be turned into a bookmark and then rewrapped to pass on. The QR code on the belly band takes the user to a website which has an e-passport to enter reviews and ratings. It also gives the user the opportunity to join in discussions and grow a community with other readers.
