Project: Postcard From Sydney

Another piece that showcases my personal liking for dark themes. 

I responded to this project with a gloomy and haunting atmosphere to reflect the context of the topic, Monte Cristo; which is supposed to be the most haunted house in NSW. The requirements of the outcome was to write an article about our chosen location and visually represent how we want to advertise it through design; encouraging tourism.

VISUALISE YOUR VOICE - CREATIVE MINDS

Project: Design Project - Campaign Against Youth Depression
Creative Minds

sample three - poster for design project 3rd year

Poster concept for an advertising campaign against youth depression entitled The Creative Minds Campaign. It initiates the use of art therapy as a means to manage the incidence of medically diagnosed depression in young people. The illustrative style suggests the different mediums employed in art making; used to externalise feelings in the process.

Design is.....

My personal viewpoint on design involves two things: creating and experimenting. The two go hand in hand like this: by creating a variety of concepts and experimenting with ideas to formulate a single design; I give myself and clients options to select the appropriate solution. 

This approach serves me well when working to a brief and designing for my own recreational enjoyment. It accelerates work flow for I have more to work with; making my design process much simpler. This allows for blending different elements from each to find a way to find the best approach for the final outcome
