This week has been a fascinating insight into how typography has been used throughout history. I have to say, when looking at the work for this week I was at a complete loss. I've never really researched much into Typography before and find I don't question why I use a certain font - it's just… Continue reading Week 10 – Typography and Rules

Week 9 : Workshop Challenge – Medium
Coronavirus has us all on lockdown now and just this week the chocolate shop I work in has shut. This means being stuck at home and now on pretty much complete lockdown. When the task in hand is all about your local area, it makes it pretty difficult not being able to go out and… Continue reading Week 9 : Workshop Challenge – Medium
Week 9 – Experiential Design
This week had us listening to Susanna and Sam Winston discussing the different ways we can start to introduce types of medium in our design to put across a certain message. it really stood out to me how much you are able to convey a certain message just by using a specific type of medium.… Continue reading Week 9 – Experiential Design
Week 8 – Workshop Challenge
I loved hearing Sam Winston talking about how he sees getting new ideas as nourishment - similar to Laura Gordon's webinar last week - to be able to force yourself to not think about the project actually means you end up coming up with the best ideas! Sam focuses on meditation and getting some alone… Continue reading Week 8 – Workshop Challenge
Week 8 – Side Hustles
This week looked at two questions: What would you like to be doing in your work that you're not? What side projects are you working on and how important are they? Regarding side projects, that's a tough one for me because I'm not in a job that's centered around design when I get a spare… Continue reading Week 8 – Side Hustles

We are a material society, our possesions become an extension of who we are, of our self, of our image perceived by others. We give objects meaning; stationary, static, non-feeling items… Continue reading Week 7 : Tell me a story
Week 7 : Research Methodologies
Hosken's lecture this week started by breaking down the meaning and purpose of research. My own personal meaning of research is to actively ignite your curiosity to find out more around the subject or object in question. To search intensively for ideas, inspiration, and improve on our existing knowledge. Perhaps to find out something that… Continue reading Week 7 : Research Methodologies
Week 6: The Shambles & Other Sights
My initial focus was going to be the street that I live on as I've found out so much history since moving in 6 months ago - however I've already done so much digging about this area and know all our neighbours quite well so I'd just be reusing existing knowledge and not actually finding… Continue reading Week 6: The Shambles & Other Sights
Week 6: Situationists and Psychogeography
These were both brand new terms to me. I had not come across the Situationist movement before and found it so inspiring and motivating. It encouraged me to take stock of the work I produce and realise how I need to take advantage of the world I live in right now and use this for… Continue reading Week 6: Situationists and Psychogeography
Week 6: Noticing the ignored
This week really calls out to me - as a photographer I love finding and snapping weird and wonderful things. I love landscapes but I class one of my main hobbies as noticing the small, beautiful, insignificant things around us everyday and making them the subject. Below is a gallery of my favourites taken over… Continue reading Week 6: Noticing the ignored
