Easter Egg

Our Easter Egg project was to say something to someone.










I said 'One Life Stand' to my boyfriend. It is barely there because he knows it.

A Book Jacket





This was an NHS book cover we were given as a project last year. This was my favourite out of the two we had to create. Very Paul Rand I thought to myself afterwards.

World of Music Magazine

We had a type, copy and image fitting exercise for a magazine layout. We had to show two covers of  the mag to show how issues would work from month to month.  We also had to create a dps of our own.


I really love my covers. Trying so hard to be clean and simple.

1st Week Back!

The WOW project continued and myself and Tadas Guobuzas were given two 1st years, Kinga and Stacey and we came up with our second brief of WOW. We decided that those little Daily WOWs came from being clean and took on a packaging project for a brand of toiletries. Here's the advert!

Back to the Monster Munch!!

Monster Munch was a YCN brief for last year. It became a huge project for myself, Cat Anderson and Rachel Patrick. We are the various monsters. Cat = blue, Rachel = red and Me = yellow!


We decided in order to catch the nostalgia for students who grew up with Monster Munch (and people that didn't) was to home into clubbing culture. We created a viral campaign that has worked so well for many companies. We needed a catchy song so Rachel's friend DJ Tim put together this mix for us and then we got to work, dancing shoes, a stop-motion set of pom-poms and the monsters on a dancefloor (created with my PATIENT!!! hands) and a lot of fun (and neon make-up) later and we had this, which I am distinctly proud of.


It works so well as a campaign to a set of events that would begin in Freshers week. Fun and Monster shaped corn snacks all round!


Summer Project

We were given the Words of Wisdom brief over the summer. Make a video depicting our W.O.W's for the up and coming first years. 
What would we pass on? 
What tips can we give?


I moved house in the summer and the full video was created from images I gathered when I was setting up my new wee flat, my new canvas.






I think the song depicts my floaty mood. 

Hungry for Humans

The Graded Unit really took it out of me, I loved every minute but how strenuous it could have been? TWEAK was the word of the day and nudging things around was a painstaking process that I am going to have to get used to. I wanted to be super perfect but after all the logistical nightmares of the cards I am finally at peace with it, not sure if I would do it the same way again though! I could really have pushed the locality, provenance and quality of dinner! I created 5 posters that would be used as a teaser campaign that leads up to "Longpig?" which turns a charity into a culinary term. 




The brief I translated into raising the profile of a charity dedicating themselves to dropping the stigmas surrounding Cannibals. I thought I could easily jump on the band wagon of the "foodie" nation. Know where your food comes from.
