Survival Kit for a Homesick Explorer

15. April 2014

First Year Project:

A competition brief to design a product for an explorer, using the values of Fortnum and Mason. The concept was to enable people send their travelling loved ones a ‘survival kit for a homesick explorer’  
Taking the form of a typically English capsule, the tin held small trinkets that would remind the traveller of their home country. The website enabled the customer to personalise their capsule, letting them pick from a range of typical F&M products, such as preserves, sweets and fine teas, to a range of more humorous items, such as novelty moustaches and bow ties.

Dressing the Screen: The Rise of Fashion Film

8. April 2014

Third Year Project:

Competition brief set by The British Council to create an image-led, bilingual (English and Russian) identity for The ‘Dressing the Screen’ Fashion Film exhibition. Taking the exhibition title as inspiration, my project was driven by the concept of 'fashion becoming the screen’. Using a classically British item of clothing - the white shirt, as a back drop and then projecting onto this with fashion film, I captured this using photography. The brief called for an event catalogue, a poster, exhibition way finding, an invite for a private viewing, film credits and captions.
