Two colour printing assists the clear delivery of message and image,
allowing me to explore overprinting techniques reminiscent of screenprinting. The ghostlike form of Philip Dadson in action provokes the illusion of movement and alludes to multi-layered attitude of exhibition vs performance vs essay.

A FILM OF ONE'S OWN (FUGUE SOLOS)
Working on this project allowed me to explore the expressive tones, colours and textures prevalent in Louise Curhams’s film work. I made the decision to emulate, rather than go “blank canvas” with the look and feel. I tapped into the gritty deconstruction of the filmic visual language and produced unique typography and typographic framing.
SECRET CENTURY
This collection of informative posters were designed for a Film Archive exhibition of historical educational films for teenagers in the 1950's. The poster were displayed throughout the exhibition space.
SWEET PUNCH
Two main visual planes are the sum of this design. A re-purposed video still flooded with block red, and bold display typography. I proposed this practical minimalism to convey the tonality of the exhibition.
