A virtual reality game called Deception is based on the novel The Palace of Illusions, which offers a unique perspective on the epic Mahabharata conflict from the perspective of Draupadi, the female character. The goal is to see past the deceptions of the people, the palace, and the eyes. The book is so interesting that I became engrossed in the characters’ nuance, which inspired me to investigate the possibility of making a VR game. Gamers will be able to go deep into the narrative, seeing the intricate personalities up close and even crafting original tales set in the Mahabharata universe. The goal of the game is to solve puzzles to unlock new floors of the illusion palace while also getting to know the characters and working out the plot.

Unlock Your New Wardrobe is a zine project that explores the fast fashion industry, intending to raise awareness about fast fashion and help people transition from fast fashion to slow fashion. It aims to convey essential information in a digestible format, facilitating comprehension and encouraging action towards change. Using a subtle approach, the zine cleverly entices readers to interact with its contents, promoting enlightenment without overwhelming them. In terms of distribution, we devised a guerrilla marketing strategy that involves strategically placing these zines in fast fashion stores known for greenwashing practices. Individuals who frequent these spaces will gain valuable insights and perspectives, promoting informed decision-making and personal growth without requiring significant time commitments.

‘In the absence of now’ is a booklet centred around a philosophical journey which delves into and critiques contemporary living. On this Journey the reader is challenged to question how much of our lives are spent outside of the present, in this ‘liminal’ state.The booklet includes various manipulated building wireframes which disappear to nothing the further through you get; Typographic visuals revolved around interviews, ideas and music; and a final mindfulness exercise which guides the reader to the present moment. Inspired by personal struggles to remain present, the project delves into the broader societal trend of veering away from the here and now.

My personal response to the 36 Days of Type project, set by Treintayseis Studio. My concept was inspired by a common activity graphic design education will do, where u make a letterform with your body and photograph it. I then decided to emphasise the characters to create funny stories in each piece of type. This project was successful on social media and really helped me develop a personal style in design.

My mini zine project FRAGMENTS looked into the a group theme of dreams. My edition was about stress dreams and why we have them. I created a zine that works as both an A5 booklet and an A2 poster once unfolded. The pages have a chaotic overlapping aspect with playful typography mashed together to really embody the stressed issue.

A fun, colourful pattern created for a kids plant kit brand. I used the toolkit to create a risograph print, with lots of overlayed colour and texture. I then took that print and showcased it at this years print auction.

This is my illustration for the Aah Mag Freshers Issue cover. The work was inspired by a personal project into rainbow capitalism. The characters are all proud people, drag queens, and allies at the Manchester Pride parade 2023. I made the work in order to highlight the beautiful crowds of people at the heart of queer pride, not the corporations and rainbow capitalism predominantly seen at parades these days.

A favourite page from my book which aimed to reinterpret the themes and story of Giovannis Room by James Baldwin. The book is very held back in its description of homosexuality as the 1960 audience was rather shocked at the topic. My idea was to flip that and highlight this theme of shame and guilt about queer romance and showcase the love between the two characters that is only hinted at in the book.

This personal piece started in my first year on the course. I did a workshop led by Johnny Hardstaff and was inspired by his advice he gave me: If everyones piece was hung on a wall, what sets you apart? and I really tried to express my illustration as outlandish, queer, and bold as I could. This final piece 'SEE YOURSELF' is a further developed outcome after his workshop.
