Brief: Design the layout for multiple IPA Review articles.
I designed several articles for the March 2014 edition of the IPA Review whilst at
Charles Elena. I was required to read and fully comprehend each article in order
to establish an appropriate concept. I then laid out each article in entirety.

Brief: Create a website skin for the TV show Star Wars Rebels.
For the Star Wars Rebels skin, I was given all graphic elements from the
client, which needed to be arranged to comply with the MiniClip website’s
requirements. The placement of each element needed to be “pixel perfect”, in
order to maximise viewability for a variety of screen sizes.

website displaying statistics for “Depression in Mothers”.
Using a simple, warm colour palette and soft graphics, I created a design
concept which would help to present a difficult subject in a way that was
easy to digest.

MCRIINFOGRAPH
BASED ON THE FINDINGS...it is likely that current systems of maternal mental health will miss more than half the women experiencing depression in the early years of parenting.
MATERNAL DEPRESSION Is more common at four years after the birth of a first child than at
any other time in the first 12 months postpartum, according to new
research by Murdoch Childrens Research Institute.
THE STUDY OF OVER
1500
WOMEN
Women with one child at the four year follow up had a more than two-fold risk of reporting depressive symptoms, compared to women with two or more children. Researchers say this is partly explained by greater levels of social adversity, for instance family break ups.
“THIS IS THE FIRST LARGE STUDY... to report the prevalence over time of maternal depression from pregnancy to four years postpartum. The findings show the extent of depression affecting first time mothers, even up to four years after the birth of their child.”
“THE FACT THAT ALMOST ONE IN THREE...first time mothers reported depression at least one occasion from early pregnancy to four years post birth, coupled with the finding that the prevalence of depression symptoms was highest at four years, there needs to be a rethink of screening and mental health surveillance of mothers.“

HOWEVER
At four years
after birth,
40 per cent of
women reporting
depression
symptoms had not
previously
reported them.
Found the number of women suffering from postnatal depression is at its peak four years after the birth of a child, and women with one child at four years postpartum report significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms than women with subsequent children.

Brief: Create brand identity, packaging and promotional material for a new beer.
The wolf and crow represent nature and purity - the ethos of the brand. The
minimalist style and nature theme of the associated collateral serve to reinforce
this philosophy. There is no clutter, no fuss. Nothing to contaminate the product.
It’s pure, clean and crisp. Like the beer.

Brief: Create a logo for Wholesale SMS, a budget SMS service, which
would look simple and modern, depicting a cheap yet reliable service.
This project demonstrates my ability to work with the client and achieve the
ideal outcome for them. Multiple concepts were presented and after some
productive communication, I revised the concept to the final design which
the client was very happy with.

Brief: Create an interactive application which educates a teenage
audience about world famous gem stones.
Gem stones are valuable, slick and classy. To mimic this feel, I chose modern,
stylish typefaces, high quality textures and deep, bold colours. The gems partially
hide away from view when they are not hovered over in order to keep the pages
clean. Hiding them also encourages interaction, engaging a younger audience.

Brief: Create a promotional campaign for the NMIT Graduate Exhibition,
including poster, brochure, invite, and an item of your choice.
Graduation is a time of celebration. Moving on to bigger and better things. So
why do so many people wish they could return to study? The concept of this
campaign asks the question “Which way is up?”. A profound colour palette and
bold lines catch the eye, and the abstract nature of the symbol arouses curiosity.

Brief: Update the design of an existing mobile web application for a promotion
of ABB, and create an accompanying counter card and shelf wobbler.
Adapting from another designer’s work, I updated graphics, text and layout of
the mobile web app. I then designed a shelf wobbler and counter card using the
same branding and graphic elements for print.

Capacity: Professional: Freelance
Brief: Design the layout for the NMIT student magazine, “Campus Rap”.
I designed the layout with students in mind. Lively colours, clear categories,
large images. It’s a bold and adventurous creation, designed to pique a
younger audience’s interest.

CAMPUSRAP
Capacity: Self initiated
Purpose: To develop digital design skills and knowledge.
I designed the layout of this iPhone application with the intention of further
developing my skills and knowledge of app design. I created branding for
the fictional “Orwell Theatre Company” and produced an app design which
complimented the colours and shape of the logo.
