    paper "THE VOICES" Augmented Reality (AR) Poster

    A collaborative assignment between I and a group of students.

    We were all tasked with creating a unique poster based on a collaboratively designed “base.” Then, another group would create an animated visual fitting each of our posters— creating a mixed media project that was an accumulation of the effort of the entire class.

    paper "Suckers" Album Cover

    Fourth year assignment about redesigning and rebranding an album of our choosing whilst maintaining what made our chosen album/band special.

    I chose to base my assignment around the 2010’s Brooklyn indie band Suckers— a quartet of musicians and songwriters known for their tribalistic instrumentation and enigmatic lyricism. These traits are reflected in the cover’s final design, featuring organic patterns, textures, and colours inspired by the album cover of Tame Impala’s “Currents.”

    The process involved research into its local target audience and competitors, a complete company overview, iterative sketches and multiple design passes, and a comprehensive breakdown of both the current and new brand strategy.
