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.

Life death and permanence is a publication I created exploring the imagery and themes that surround the liminal spaces of graveyards and cemeteries, formulating these themes into 3 specific aspects: Life, death and permanence. Each theme embodies the imagery and layout of each particular theme. Through each chapter the reader is subject to changes in the layout of type, colour and visual imagery.

Hairmony is a hair repurpose company, in which hair salons will receive my packaging to put old hair extensions and hair cut offs into it. Customers will then send it back to my company and I will turn the old hair into wigs for charities, cosmetic brushes, and new hair extensions to buy or salons to sell back in their shops.

These images are hand-painted illustrations that have been scanned into Photoshop and turned into repeating pattern designs, inspired by the textile artist Timourus Beasties. The final works were used in the 2nd year unit X project this project relied on collaboration in a group with designers from other disciplines to create a series of outcomes to display the Material Source centre in Manchester, My group came up with the title Space Separation and play, we each individually worked on producing sustainable ways to decorate a space using design. I hand-painted each flower and insect in each pattern and used Photoshop to turn them into a repeating pattern experimenting with layout and pattern design. The purpose for these designs was to create a 'Digital Wallpaper' that can be used in any space and is sustainable.

This Project was based around reinventing a classic book design to boost the reading engagement of children aged 10-14. The design imagery is inspired by the origins of psychogeography, and its unique journey based on the person's experience. The illustrations in the design also take inspiration from map lines in geographical images and the painted icons are relevant to the journey Alice goes on in each chapter of the book. Each illustration was hand-picked to capture Alices thoughts and feelings throughout her journey into wonderland. This clear and user-friendly design allows children to access short passages from chapters one and two of the classical book ‘Alice in Wonderland’. Users of the design can tap an illustration line that will bring them to a short readable passage.

Reinventing a Classic
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.

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.
