Mapping the phone boxes of central Brighton and collating their information, I have created a map/information sheet of their information and comparing the drop in numbers of phone boxes versus the rise in mobile phones.

A series of five pop-up books retelling elements from Star Wars: A New Hope. I was drawn to how the interesting film language George Lucas chose to use in the original Star Wars films could be translated into a book. The use of wipes, fades and other transitions that don't get used much in others films inspired me to make these.

BACKDATE - November 2010 - Typography / Speech

Typography / Speech
Taking a short section of speech, recorded speaking from reading a Scandinavian phrase book, the aim was to represent audible nuances through typography.

BACKDATE - October 2010 - Sequences

Shakespeare Comedies 01
Shakespeare Comedies 02
Through exploring the idea of sequences, I wanted to approach the old Shakespeare text I acquired. Gathering statistics about all the plays, I wanted to suggest an alternative way to presenting them. The graphs aimed to give a possible insight into each play's main six characters by charting the amount of speeches against the amount of words used throughout.

One of our first projects set in the second year of Graphic Design at Brighton.  We were set to find grid systems within a location and document text about the location that related to the area. I chose to use song lyrics that I had been listening to at the time of photographing, that suited the area in content or mood.
