Lost In Translation

University Project.
Final comic page to go into the Lost In Translation comic that the University of Cumbria will be selling at Lakes International Comics Festival 2019. The concept of the comic was to experiment with typography and layout. We were each provided with a mistranslated Bob Dylan song lyric as the copy for our pages. Below the page is a collection of the experimentation with type and ink that I did.

Play - TV Channel Identity

University Project.
The stings and branding for a fictitious Gaming News TV channel called "Play". The service would be split into three audiences and gamify the service between these audiences by creating Teams Red, Green and Blue. Red would be people focused on modern gaming, Green retro gaming and Blue would be focused on developers and promote friendly competition between each of them. 
Some of the stings use footage taken from game trailers as backgrounds these just to show the overlay in action.

Abstract Image Book Covers

​We had to produce an abstract book cover with only abstract marks or found textures, and a list of book titles and authors that we were not allowed to research.
I went a bit excessive and produced three finished pieces rather than the required one.
