Project Booklets

Below are my Project booklets that I produced during my Graphic Design & Communication college course in the years 2020-2022 at Xaverian College. These booklets were originally submitted in a physical format as a book so I have converted them into a digital equivalent! Please take the time to turn the pages and glance at the work I have created! These projects overall got me a Grade A at the end of the course.

Graphics For Good - Long Overdue

This booklet here is actually a combination of two that make up my second year final project. The brief was 'Graphics for Good' - meaning that we were tasked with creating cohesive branding and designs for a campaign. The campaign goal could be of our choice. I chose to focus on campaigning for better funding and general awareness of public libraries and their uses. I love to read and possessed/still possess a Manchester Council library card so this cause was close to my heart.

My campaign is titled 'Long Overdue'. This project was developed over the span of a year from Summer 2021 - Summer 2022. I created a group of characters This is the longest development time for any of the projects in these booklets.

Booklet 2

This booklet is the final booklet I created in my first year of the two year course. This book contains my project calles 'Ce Soir'. The brief was that we were given a selection of non-existent businesses/brands and we needed to create their branding identity from scratch. I picked the record company, 'Ce Soir', based on the Beatnik subculture.

Booklet 1

This was my first booklet of the course. The front cover and some of the initial work was made by hand - this was due to the fact that this booklet started during COVID-19 and I did not have access to the facilities at the college. This changes in later booklets.

The projects in this booklet feature the study of typography, the formation of my own typeface, Idiom-inspired designs and the beginning of a book cover project inspired by the book Watership Down.
