    The Overconsumption of AI

    For my final year, I created a self-directed concept art project exploring the theme “The Overconsumption of AI.”

    As AI continues to influence creative industries, I wanted to explore the potential consequences of a society that becomes overly dependent on it. This project investigates how technology can affect identity, emotion, and creativity, using concept art as a way to communicate narrative and ideas.

    The work is presented as a digital artbook, combining both development and final outcomes.

    Witch Club Paris

    For my 3rd year visual development module I chose the brief “Witch Club Paris”. My aim was to create concept art for this animation which included- the main character Angelique who is an aspiring young witch hoping one day to become a Pagan, an exterior environment of the most famous street corner in Monster City, and the Shop Keeper of this store.

    My designs have European elements to them-as if this “Monster City” is perhaps a parallel universe to the city of Paris, France! Alongside this they have a quirkiness and unusual look, relating back to this unusual gateway Angelique opened!
