Hello! My name is Elizabeth and I’m a graphic designer currently based in the UK. The poster on show here is an interpretation of the track ‘See Through’ by rock/indie group; The Band Camino, utilising imagery as a means of lyric representation. More of my work can be found on Instagram where I love exploring the relationship between shape, colour and graphic interpretations of language.

The image above shows the various design elements which were designed for electronic music producer, Smuggler's debut EP, 'Glass Houses'.

Both a logotype and an EP cover were conceived for 'Smuggler'. Both these design elements took cues from 90’s and early 2000’s video game graphics. The EP cover itself depicts a dreamlike scene using a hand that is symbolic of the producer’s digital craft. The lo-fi 3D aesthetic reflects the computerised nature of the music, while referencing the nostalgic retro-digital era that the music comes from. In a world where technology is demonised, this music pushes back finding the beauty and heritage in digital artistry. The visual design reflects this sentiment, unapologetically embracing a fully computerised aesthetic.

This EP cover was designed by Oliver Anglin, a graphic design graduate with particular interest in type design, visual identities, conceptual development, and making use of a holistic design process to develop visual solutions to real world problems. His portfolio displays a range of visual styles tailored to suit the contexts of each brief. Boasting a variety of techniques including illustration, typography, 3D modelling, and motion.

This poster series has been produced out of a need for promotion of the Elizabeth Line that will soon be introduced by TFL. While I had heard of the Elizabeth Line, I hadn’t seen any promotional material and knew nothing about it beyond the name, so I resolved to go about making my own. Upon looking into the information that’s available on the new Line, I realised that there were numerous aspects about the Elizabeth Line that made huge improvements upon the current Northern and Victoria Line’s structure, namely the improved accessibility for wheelchair users, the introduction of free Wi-Fi on all of the Elizabeth Line’s new (Class 435) trains, as well as how the Line would travel all the way from Abbey Road to Reading. In an effort to highlight and communicate these innovations in the state of travel, a series of posters were developed in collaboration with Tùng Anh, who is responsible for all of the illustrations shown. 

The colours used in these illustrations reflect the colour scheme and visual identity of the new line itself, with the aim of establishing a familiarity of the Elizabeth Line for those that will use it.

Part of the ‘Don’t Avoid It Campaign’ series.

A digital and physical campaign project focused on the awareness of men’s mental health in 2020. The project explores the issue of men’s mental health and the importance of open discussion of the subject. The project communicates this graphically through a combination of colour and psychological theories together with typographic contrasts and tight, modular grid systems. These considerations aid the campaign pieces in evoking emotions of warmth, comfort, support, confusion and uncertainty and aims to invoke such emotional responses from the viewer.

My practice focuses on book and print design, using considered imagery and type composition. Collaboration has been an integral part of my creative process, working with other artists, photographers and writers has allowed me to explore areas of design and publishing this year.

The Community Umbrella Project is a close-to-home charity that aims to offer peer-to-peer support for those suffering with mental health issues, or those who would like to discuss mental health. These postcards were created as a tool to spread awareness of the charity, with the message on the front showing that there’s always someone there to listen. I thoroughly enjoy publication and print design, with my work usually having a unique personal touch. Drawing from my own experiences of mental health and my desire to help others, my design practice explores handmade techniques and specialist production methods. Through my work I encourage people to connect with their inner self and the world around them through emotionally centred design.

@wrosey_

Hi, I'm Elise! I'm a Yorkshire based Graphic Designer who specialises in branding and illustration. I am interested in everything design, especially anything funky, colourful or unconventional. The most important part of my personal practice is not to be timid, but bold and confident in my ideas and approach. I am excited to enter the next chapter of my creative development and am grateful to Leeds Arts University for allowing me to have so much creative freedom over the past 3 years!

I’m a graphic designer that uses a playful and speculative approach to bring together disparate subjects, and create something unique. 

Working in collaboration with Emily Anderson to produce a catalogue and visual concept for her imagined exhibition, The Return of The Repressed, the outcomes focus on themes of childhood and fragmented memory. Abstract illustrations of the exhibited work are scattered across the catalogue pages to create an editorial design that hints at the fleeting nature of these ‘transitional objects’. This idea of recreating the exhibition’s art comes from the Chicago Imagists, who used the technique to create their own exhibition catalogues in the format of comic books. It is their playful approach that informed the colour vibrancy in this publication to highlight the childhood focus of these objects that are stained with nostalgia, challenging the observer to reconstruct their own past.

The Lego Phone

A modular Lego-based smartphone designed to encourage 13-18-year-olds to re-evaluate their perception of the Lego brand, whilst empowering the creative within. The Lego Phone incorporates the brand's core philosophies of rebuilding and personal customization into the smartphone form factor. Builders are encouraged to consider their needs and build their unique phone to suit them.

Going on a city break? Swap out a single-lens camera for a double and add more battery bricks. Into mobile gaming? Add some extra CPU bricks to aid performance. The combinations are endless. Whilst primarily designed to cater to teenagers, who may see Lego as just a toy, The Lego Phone is likely to appeal to a much wider audience due to both its unique nature and nostalgia.

The No Evil series is a set of three fashion photography publications exploring the theme of Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil through the work and talent at Leeds Arts University.

A contextually knowledgeable and inquisitive graphic communicator, producing progressive solutions from the word upwards.

The plethora of typographic styles found within Sol's work is best showcased within his 2020 submission for 36 days of type. Melding 36 fields of inspiration, to create an eclectic blend of form and information. Going beyond the confines of a traditional typeface to create an exploration of typography, writing systems and artistic style. Providing an educational and inquisitive insight into the letterforms we take for granted and giving a contextual understanding of type to the general reader. Each character is presented as a square, Instagram sized, typographic tile that places the forms within the context they are inspired by. Culminating in a careful and considerately designed publication that lays out each letter form alongside eloquent copy to allow for a perfect showcase of the educational and experimental tool. Displayed here are responses inspired by Johannes Gutenberg (top left), Art Nouveau (top right), 3D type (middle left) and Composition 8 by Wassily Kandinsky (middle right).

@jemmachatwin_ / jemmachatwin.cargo.site

As a designer I can describe myself as someone that focuses on challenging the brief and thinking beyond the traditional 2D executions that can be found within graphic design.

I am very interested in how different senses play a part in triggering the intake of information. This fascination of encouraging people to notice these different avenues is also a common feature throughout my work. The ability to be able to physically hold and interact with an object is important to me throughout my practice, as I think it works in a stronger way than assimilating something through a screen.

This flag creation is a response to football hooliganism and the lack of comradery that can be found between football supporters. Within football culture, there is a strong separation between each teams' supporters, and through this flag and crest design, I aim to bring people together through this common love of the sport.

Neue Oesophagus is a family of typefaces inspired purely by physical human characteristics and actions. This project was a collaboration with Ruben Buffery. Its name comes from all the typefaces within it being inspired by human actions relating to the muscular tube, the oesophagus. It is inspired mainly by human measures and unlike most typefaces, it has not been designed for any purpose in particular, just to exist as an expressionist piece of human expression.

Choke has been designed to resonate the sensations of choking from any angle. It’s upper and lower case can combine to create a fluid set of letter forms or they can be separated to have harsh strokes juxtaposing each other translating the feeling of being choked.

The following collateral was designed in correspondence to YCN’S UK Greetings competition brief. The designed Fruit Blast greetings collection is a versatile mono-painted range, perfect for consumers to have at hand for unexpected/ a variety of occasions throughout the summer season. The range has been designed for simple sentiment greetings such as Thank you, Well Done, Get Well, Birthdays, Just A Note, along with gift wrap.

The collection has been designed using a fun, playful on trend approach demonstrating a combination of modern, digital laser printing and traditional mono-print. The collection incorporates a range of fruity inspired shapes representing ‘growth’ due to fruit, like human life, intending to portray the transient nature related to our existence. This includes memorable and celebratory occasions throughout life, which can be shown in recognition towards by delivering the greetings collection to a friend or family member.

The collection's colour pallet incorporates yellow, pink, orange, blue and green which are all bright and uplifting colours, therefore, the collection holds positive connotations. Allocated stickers insert within the greeting’s cards using a range of mismatched decorative type, giving the collection an artistic and eye-catching feel, pairing with the playful and fun aesthetic of the designed collateral. The stickers also allow the consumer to create their own personalised messages, using their own creative layout, giving the greetings collection further sentimental value.

Naturalis: The Floral Edition explores the natural within the constructed and also in reverse, an assembly of considerations that mimic nature. In collaboration with photographer Sophie Burlison, Naturalis is a high-fashion, digital magazine. It’s full version can be seen here and features illustrations from Luci Pina. 

This collage is displayed as the middle page spread in Naturalis. It adopts geometric lines to resemble the stems and extreme crops which mirror the composition of the flower heads found on Florist Daisies (which inspired the eyeshadow colours seen in the images employed within the collage). In order to emphasise this theme of colour exercised in the photography, the collage utilises hues extracted from the repeated image as the colour of the lines. This powerful and bold configuration has been promoted to hint at nature’s use of red and orange tones as warning signs.

As a designer I think branding is a huge focal point for me, branding allows me to communicate a company’s ethos in a modern way. I enjoy branding that is bold and colourful and really impacts its audience.

Miniatur Wunderland is the world’s largest model village and is located in Hamburg, Germany. An unofficial re-brand was created to modernise the village and highlight the excitement of the attraction. The branding uses bold colours and illustrations creating a contemporary aesthetic. Further the re-brand focuses on the ideas of perspective through different point of view and three-dimensional elements ultimately creating a visually striking outcome. The audience for the model village ranges from children to adults so the branding needed to create a space where both could enjoy it.

This is one of a few poster/flyers designs I created for West Craven High school. The school was in need of design that was bright and colourful, for the purpose of promoting the school’s new values to the students and staff members. The final outcomes were a set of 7 A1 posters, which have been turned into flyers and send out to students, and 2 walls of artwork made with vinyl. Following the success of this design and branding for the school, I am now looking to adapt this design for the 2020/2021 planners.

Most of the design work I create centres around branding and being able to adapt for clients, by creating new brand identities. I create work for musicians/bands, fashion, schools and many more.

This campaign is based on instructions that demonstrate how to perform surgeries demonstrating a low budget option of healthcare if it was to become privatised. Styled as IKEA instructions as IKEA is the low budget of furniture.

This campaign uses humour to encourage people not to take advantage of the NHS, helping it to survive. Since the NHS was created there have been several factors which have left it financially struggling. One of these factors being people taking advantage of the NHS and not using it correctly. Instructions show how to perform surgeries yourself using an Ikea style as their instructions and are seen as low budget of furniture, linking back to the idea of the instructions being a low budget version of healthcare. These instructions will be supported with social posts and posters with the taglines “You wouldn’t go to IKEA for surgery so don’t go to the GP for a Headache.”

Changing people’s thought processes so when they have minor illnesses, they think it’s silly to go to the doctors for things like colds and headaches the same way it’s silly to go to IKEA for surgery humorously making a simple point.

Rimowa Visual Identity - This visual identity concept for Rimowa, positions the company as a contemporary luxury brand, whilst simultaneously paying homage to the brands heritage and its roots in German design. This concept of classic modernity is visualised through references to Bauhaus design movement. The balance between efficiency and luxury is central and integral to this rebrand, and is summarised by the phrase ‘Form & Function’ because when it comes to Rimowa’s reliable yet beautiful suitcases, the two are not mutually exclusive.

‘Self isolation nation’ is a collection of greeting cards, notepads, and gift dressing. Created with the aim to bring the feeling of togetherness amongst the country during the lockdown as well as reinforcing the need to stay inside. The message shown in the visual language aims to portray the security felt by all when we stay inside, safe from the comforts of home rather than risk coming into contact with an unknown enemy. The outside of the homes is set to look eerie and unfamiliar, similar to how alien this concept is to us and how out of our depth we all feel.

Featured in this photograph is the back-cover artwork of RESIDENT’s album ‘MIDWINTER’, a live project outcome. RESIDENT are a garage rock band who practice modern alternative rock approaches. MIDWINTER’s artwork aims to capture this musical approach and garage routes by taking inspiration from the space in which they practice.

The design utilises patterns created from a found texture as one leading visual. The structures of these patterns are influenced by the progressive direction of the songs on the album. Embracing the dynamic of the band by working alongside them and observing the space in which they practiced provided a visual connection that progressed the identity in the personal direction it required.

‘Dancing Queen’ is a screen-printed J card which represents the micro genre of Swedish Schlager. The J card demonstrates the popular Swedish show named ‘Melodifestivalen’ with the iconography showing the journey that happens with a successful Swedish Schlager. Ikea men are featured on the J card, displaying the stereotypical Swedish connotation, symbolising the Swedish Schlager performers. The J card opens up to reveal a party scene reflecting the celebration connotation that the genre brings. The J card uses a custom typeface inspired from the Eurovision logo. 

This project is a self-initiated campaign that attempts to answer, whilst exploring the connotations, behind the question ‘Where are you really from?’

This project began through researching racial microaggressions but was developed further after reflecting from my own personal exchanges of this type of behaviour.

The project comprises 3 different outcomes, but all aim to communicate the message through satire and humour.

WYDEYD magazine was born as a result of a desire to encourage readers to notice the design elements that are apparent in their everyday surroundings.

We feel that sometimes, as creatives, we can become accustomed to our surroundings to the point that we subconsciously overlook the design elements that exist around us. We often look far for inspiration, and by doing so can ignore what is in front of us.

WYDEYD magazine was created and designed entirely by Cara Mahon and Jemima Whitaker. All content was collected through submissions, with the aim of creating a magazine that holds work created from a wide variety of creative practices, interests, and subject matters.

Edition 1 is based on the design element of shape, specifically ‘circles’. Submissions meet this theme in intriguing ways; with some works being based on circular concepts or theories, some produced through circular processes, and others capturing visual qualities of what we know and recognise as ‘circular’.

This is an example taken from a deck of tarot cards which I designed for children aged 8 - 12, the imagery, colour palette and type used draws from ancient and modern astrology to influence the overall design of the deck. The aim is to reintroduce the ancient tradition to younger audiences while introducing “A Game of Tarot”, as tarot cards were originally designed to be played as a game rather than predict the future.

Dyslexia Awareness Campaign

@aceroulstondesign

As there has been an increase of younger people drinking less and the alcohol culture becoming less popular, as a way of supporting this in a campaign for healthier living, this was an idea for an alcohol free spirit to further this cause.

This is the branding and labelling for a non-alcoholic gin called Niksen, which means ‘to do nothing” in Dutch. The inspiration for this design was to have the packaging as calming and natural as possible by incorporating imagery from Juniper berries and clean typography to create a clean logotype and logo for the bottle label. By using blue and white as the core colour palette, it maintains a calming influence on the consumer while still maintaining the idea of cleanliness and health. The design is to mimic the idea of a luxury spirit packaging so that it is not visually obvious to onlookers that it is non-alcoholic until reading that it is alcohol free to encourage more people to consider buying the drink.

The Oliver Bonas x Fedrigoni brief is an entry to the YCN competition 2020. The brief is to produce a collection of four candle packaging designs, candle vessel stickers and a name for the collection. The packaging created is intended for the Oliver Bonas Spring/Summer collection 2020. The outcomes for this brief are bird-themed using passerine bird types for each candle design. Each passerine bird researched has a distinct look, which determined a colour scheme to the candle vessel sticker and packaging. The collection showcases a bold, colourful approach to each design outcome. This is inspired through research into past candle packaging design, Oliver Bonas packaging and geometric style packaging to give the final collection a minimalistic style. The printing processes for the packaging are using Fedrigoni white paper stock, which is recyclable and sustainable. The use of Fedrigoni paper is an essential requirement for the production of the candle packaging, to showcase that Oliver Bonas is a sustainable brand to purchase from.

Castle takes its inspiration from centuries of Welsh craft and industry. From its great Medieval period (shown using the exaggerated serifs found in Gaelic), to their rich Industrial Revolution (represented through the block letterpress style), to mining and much more.

The chiselled and firm foundations of the typeface also celebrate the traditional art of Welsh slate carving, showing pride in the country’s history whilst also looking to the present and future by being a modern, geometrically considered font. Existing in only UPPERCASE and numerical forms, display typeface Castle’s boldness gives it a great presence in its context.

Billie Sprong is a graphic designer based in Norwich, Norfolk. Her work maintains a heavy focus on graphic shape and colour with a playful, illustrative approach. T-shirts, posters and publications are of particular interest to create; whilst vibrancy and lightness remain at the core of all designs.

Featured in this image is the poster design for her typeface ‘Zonked’. Zonked, as a typeface, is fresh, contemporary and unique.The font combines simplicity and connotes the feelings of being dazed to construct an open and harmonious composition. It’s clear, fluid shapes create a distinctive aesthetic, which is well suited to headings and titles within editorial and advertising design. The font is provided in sans serif format to distinguish the gentle, relaxed nature of being ‘zonked’. This design aims to highlight the disconnect that being ‘zonked’ creates with real-life; the exaggerated, disjointed feelings and emotions are shown within the poster layout. Whilst remaining calm, soft and unique through the oval bowls mimicking stoner’s eyes and detached letter forms representing the disconnect from reality being high creates. Maintaining the same shapes throughout established a complimentary, clean typeface whose minimalist nature has been inspired by the wholesome, modernist values of Swiss design.

Pages from a publication based around my experience of seeing Dave Malloy's Preludes; a musical fantasia set in the hypnotised mind of Sergei Rachmaninoff. The show explores creativity, imposter syndrome and what it means to accept failure.

A proposed visual identity for the Henry Moore Institute.

The Henry Moore Institute showcases historical, modern and contemporary sculpture, with the visual identity celebrating these era’s through its typography, imagery and colour palette. Photographs of sculptor’s work are placed at the fore-font, working to promote the artists and engage the target audience.

The imagery that comprises the basis of the identity is formed from two main components; a drawn typeface and edited photos of the artists imagery. The typeface’s creation makes reference to how sculptors chisel into stone, and forms a stackable system that provides consistency yet adaptability across the identity. The sculptors imagery has been edited to emphasise the consideration of light and dark when creating a three-dimensional piece.

The predominately monochrome colour palette makes reference to the historical sculpture on show. This is contrasted with a bright orange to create recognisability between the branding of the Institute and the Henry Moore Foundation, whilst communicate the modern pieces on display. Neue Haas Grotesk is utilised for its neutrality, and its complimentary nature with the heavy set type used within the imagery.

In December 2018, Ferrero Rocher was named as the Christmas chocolate box with the least recyclable packaging, with an overwhelming 89% of its packaging destined for the landfills. Despite its distinctive packaging which accounts for its powerful brand recognition for decades, it is high time that its plastic packaging needs to go, especially in light of the rise of environmental awareness in consumers. But how can we prompt recognition of the long-standing brand packaging in spite of a vast change of its material?

This repackage of Ferrero Rocher is a reinterpretation of a more sustainable option that exemplifies the brand's "golden experience" through the reveal of an overwhelming gold behind the box sleeves. To incite product recognition, it takes advantage of print finishes to replicate the look of the actual content usually visible through the plastic packaging, while adding on a visual aesthetic that more suitably matches its price point and positioning as a premium gift. Its structural design has also been carefully designed and deliberated to avoid and reduce any unnecessary packaging at all if possible whilst still appropriate for that of a gift.

I think it's important to create work based on personal interests and hobbies as well as work that will have a positive impact on today's society. My work includes packaging design, branding, publication design, product design and print based techniques.
