This project was D&AD initiated and asked that the student interpret MTV as a virus. I decided to approach this with a print based solution in mind knowing that the majority would go for a screen based solution. A series of box packaged posters promoting the different MTV channels by hijacking the safety net medicine packaging gives off was produced. The boxes were intended to be placed in shops, bars, and cinemas, etc. |

| A university brief where I was asked to collect as much data as possible on the art school and visually represent it in book form. The book had to be engaging and make the information interesting. Instead of the information been based around how it was represented through pie charts, maps etc, I focused more on the fact that the information didn’t mean a lot to me. I decided to play on the term “information on me” to give the impression the book was all about me when in fact it was more about the students in my year. |

| The Hex Clock is a screensaver clock whilst also been a colour chart for web designers. The clock comes in card packaging, which also encourages the user to interact with its calendar like doors, which reveal the colours featured. The starting point for this project was play; we wanted a solution that would be both playful, and useful at the same time. Collaboration with Matt Keers & Adam Robson.

| A D&AD brief to design packaging for a company known as "Sanpros". A funky and loud approach was adopted rather than a quiet and restrained approach often implemented on tampon packaging. The packaging is aimed at the teenage girl and encourages them to not be ashamed or embarrassed about having a period. |

| OCD was a personal project in trying to understand and visually interpret Obsessive compulsive disorder. The A3 sized book features every distinguishable item I own in my bedroom, and the categorisation someone with OCD would perhaps go through. |
