“LIVE JOBS WERE THE BANE OF MY LIFE, BUT I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF KNOWLEDGE I LEARNT.”
“MY LIFE IS DESIGN.”
As part of the work-based learning whilst studying on
Foundation Degree Graphic Design, I had to work with a
number of clients. These projects were known to students as
LIVE JOBS. The jobs gave me knowledge for the industry and
the different range of clients gave me a varied experience in
how to handle dificult situations in the future. There will be design jobs that I might ind tedious or pointless, But design is hard as a whole. Each job I had to creative something
completely different, Which made some of the work easier
to design. Here’s some of my best LIVE JOB journeys so far.

CHARLOTTEDAISY SMITH
Charlotte Daisy Smith, Creator of Daring Daisy has one
mission in life; Being UNIQUE. She’s far from the typical
young woman of today’s society. Born and raised in
High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, UK she found a love of
Photography and studied at Amersham & Wycombe College.
A deeper more recent ambition is FASHION, but with a twist.
She quotes “Ever had one of those awkward moments where
you walk into a crowded room and someone is wearing the
same outit? Companies are selling unique designs only for them to be in every high street shop a few weeks later.
Daring Daisy offers customers a one-off piece, You won’t ind it anywhere else.” Well said Charlotte! She makes a good
point, more people need to be willing to express themselves
without being forced to wear something that has been
approved by the Celebrity world. With that said we hope
the recent Logo design we put together for Daring Daisy
will accomplish all that is needed to be the UNIQUE fashion
brand Charlotte hopes it to become. - Escape Magazine.
CHARLOTTE DAISY SMITH: DARING DAISY

DARING DAISY: LOGO DESIGN
My influence for making the Daring Daisy Logo was
finding out what particular interests the client had.
She has an obsession with skulls and her middle name
is Daisy. As Daring Daisy is a fashion enterprise, the
logo will then be used on many of the fashion items.

ASHRIDGE AUTOMOBILES: BRANDING/LOGO DESIGN
Ashridge Automobiles is a company that specializes in repairing Pre War
Riley Sports Cars. The client was looking to revamp his current logo.
The client wanted a much more simpliied logo that would give his company the corporate identity it has always needed. I initially
researched what a Riley Sports Car looked like and worked on a
logo from there. I found it was too complicated to make a car
into a logo that could be used on many media platforms.
I’ve always found simple shapes make the best logo
designs. I started with triangles and developed
ideas from that. After I got a shape I thought
was working, I used a colour speciication to understand the colours of pre war times. Red
means POWER. The client loved this idea
and I developed the logo into a corporate
identity that works and is SIMPLE.
9
ASHRIDGE AUTOMOBILES: BRANDING/LOGO DESIGN
The logo is made up of three parts, each made
originally from a triangle. The RED triangular
shape is the base for the company’s corporate
identity. Red being the basis for POWER.
The BLACK makes up two parts of the logo, These parts
I call the shell of the logo, It keeps it all together as one.
Black is also another colour used to express POWER.

PAM FOLEY
ROUTES OF SORROWGRIEVING WITHOUT FINALITY
11
PAM FOLEY is an American Sculptor from New England. With
30 years of experience under her belt, She is now based
in Oxfordshire, England. Working from a studio in Banbury
she creates sculptures that refl ect emotional thoughts and all of life’s other struggles. For the brochure design, the
theme was “Grieving Without Finality” she wanted to show
her work in a brochure for her exhibition but not show “Too
much” that discourages people to view her show as a whole.
As a designer I tried to know as much as possible about
what she wanted but still be detached enough to design
something that I felt would capture the emotion of her topic.
From the photographs she supplied I managed to create a
totally different feel to them. I zoomed in on a particular area
of the photo e.g. I really liked the texture of the rose in the
eye of the mask and I wanted to make just an image from
that piece. Without giving too much of Pam’s exhibition away.
In so many words, to get the effects on the photographs I
experimented with exposure and saturation in Photoshop.
I used colours that I would also relate the to Pam’s topic.

MILTON KEYNES JOB FAIR 2013: ADVERTISING/POSTER DESIGN
The MP’s of Milton Keynes, Mark Lancaster & Iain Stewart
organized a Jobs Fair for young people and getting them
interested in going to work. One sunny January day, a
large number of people turnt up for the Fair at The
Buszy in Milton Keynes. These people got to speak to
current businesses working in and around the MK area.
But how were the MP’s supposed to encourage people
to go to the fair? This is where I came in. The MP’s asked for a poster design that would inspire the
young people to be remotely interested in i nding a career pathway and making a future to be proud of.
I focused on what I would look for in a poster if I were
to go to the Jobs Fair. What does “Jobs Fair” mean to me
visually? I worked with the multiple circles to create a simple balloon shape with plenty of colour to gain
an “Wandering Imagination of Possibilities”. It worked
because the young people chose my design out of
everyone else’s designs. I inspired many people to go
out and i nd their future. The possibilities are endless with a little encouragement through the use of design.

FEATURES is the part of the magazine that showcases
some of the best talent I have come across throughout
College and University. These people have really inspired
some of my own work and I’ve learn some skills from
them along the way. They all have strengths in a range
of disciplines including, Illustration, Advertising &
Design, Typography and Photography. All of the people
featured are self taught in their particular i eld and have either studied at College or University. With the state of
unemployment and recession it’s been a tough ride for
some of them but I tell them to never give up. So guys, This
is for you. I dedicate this section to anyone reading this, If
you have a dream you should follow it. - Escape Magazine.

BEN MILLARD ILLUSTRATIONBEN MILLARD is a self taught illustrator
from Milton Keynes, UK. He previously
studied I.T at Milton Keynes College learning
basic HTML coding and had no training
whatsoever in the Arts. Upon meeting and
studying with Ben on the Foundation Degree
Graphic Design Course, He learnt how to use
Illustrator, Photoshop & InDesign and then
in his spare time he would also watch You
Tube tutorials on how to use certain tools in
these programmes. Ben is also VERY skilled in
Corel Painter, armed with his Wacom Graphics
Tablet he is not a man to be messed with! I was
lucky enough to meet Ben on the FDA Course
and we formed a close friendship, inspired
each other and I got to know the incredible
designer that Ben is today. - Escape Magazine
18 ESCAPE MAGAZINE
BEN MILLARD - ILLUSTRATION
EM: Hello Ben, How are you?
BM: All good thank you.
EM: How did you become interested in Illustration?
BM: I’ve always had a natural love for drawing and I
studied I.T and Specialist Networking at college. I was
interested in making animation with Adobe Flash but
preferred making the actual characters by hand.
EM: Where do ind inspiration when your making characters?
BM: I watch a lot of science/nature documentaries and
interact with what I’ve watched and creative a concept
from that. Depending on what I’ve watched will then
form the style.
EM: What is your favourite software to use and how
did you perfect using it?
BM: I use Illustrator and Corel Painter 12, But my
favourite is Illustrator. The possibilities of Illustrator
are endless, vector based graphics and creating artwork
from simple shapes and colours, whereas in Corel
Painter you are limited to making your illustration look
anything more than a painting. If I have something I
want to make I just watch tutorials on You Tube.
19
EM: Illustrator is the best tool. Agreed. After you have
inished studying where would you like to be? Dream BIG. No dream is too big.
BM: I’d like to work in a design agency working on
branding and layout and also freelance as an Illustrator.
I think that could be quite cool.
EM: Obviously you believe you have a unique style,
do you want to inspire anyone in particular?
BM: I’d like to inspire general people to steer away
from using Photoshop and get into a routine of using
a pencil and then maybe taking some skills from
Illustrator and working on your artwork that way.
EM: To inish are you glad you decided to take a creative career path?
BM: I can’t imagine studying I.T and Specialist
Networking at University level, It was so mind
numbingly boring and uninspiring, I have more chance
of inding a job after education in Graphic Design.
Ben will be showcasing his Final Major Project at UCMK in Milton Keynes on the 12th June 2013.

Graphic artist, print-maker and designer Anthony Burrill is known for
his persuasive, up-beat style of communication. His work is held in the
permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London,
the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, New York and has been
exhibited in galleries around the world including The Barbican,
The Walker Art Centre and The Graphic Design Museum, Breda.

22 ESCAPE MAGAZINE
Anthony Burrill is one of my favourite designers, I found
him in a book a few years ago and from then on I’ve
been inspired by his witty artwork. It’s not supposed
to be beautiful or have a deep meaning, I just know
when I look at his work, that it’s real that someone
other than me has feelings and expressed them.

HANNAH WICKS-CHALK
P H O T O G R A P H Y
Hannah Wicks-Chalk is a 21 year old Photographer
from Milton Keynes, UK. Whilst living in a hostel she
studied on the BTEC National Diploma Art & Design at
Milton Keynes College and specialised in Photography.
Whatever she snaps she brings to life with or without
the use of Photoshop. I only met Hannah when
we crossed paths at our End of Year Show in 2011
at Middleton Hall, Milton Keynes. Whilst admiring
her work and her natural love of Black & White
photography I saw a spark in her that I’d never seen
in anyone else before. Intrigued by this mysterious
woman, I suggested we do a photo shoot so that I
could learn and understand her views on photography.
25
EM: Firstly, Hello! It’s been awhile hasn’t it?
HWC: Too long! You should’ve interviewed me two
years ago. I love how there’s only you running this
magazine, You should be proud of yourself Laurrypie!
EM: Yes, Well Escape wasn’t something I thought
would happen and neither was having an awesome
alter ego called Laurrypie.
HWC: Life is like a series of fortunate events,
sometimes it’s just fate. We met by fate
.
EM: Aww. Thanks! That’s sweet! Do you use the
same way of thinking when you’re out taking snaps?
HWC: Of course! I never delete a photograph if I
believe I can use it in some way, every photo I take
is unique. Sometimes I forget to adjust the zoom and
get something completely different
.
EM: So you don’t believe in perfection?
HWC: Deine perfection? Using Photoshop isn’t perfection, If you take pictures just to edit them in
Photoshop then I suggest you put down the camera.
26 ESCAPE MAGAZINE
EM: I see. You obviously ind a greater pleasure in natural living things?
HWC: I take my camera everywhere, So I ind pleasure in wherever life takes me. I could be on my break at
work or on a day off. One of my favourite photographs
was one I took of my best friend, Ava. She’s so
naturally beautiful.
EM: I agree. Do you think living in the hostel made
you interact with photography better?
HWC: Obviously you know, I had some really tough
times back then and my photography helped me
realize life has it’s ways of working out in the end.
EM: Well, It sure has worked out for you now.
HWC: I know, I have my own fridge! That was my
biggest dream. Nothing do with photography.
EM: Well, They do say the smallest things are
the ones that matter.
HWC: You still owe me some plates, as you smashed
like six of them!
EM: Whoopsie! I’ll make some special edition Escape
Magazine ones for you.
HWC: Complete fan girl moment right now.

inspiration. I would consider it my safe haven, It’s
vibrant and full of many different and interesting
cultures. It also boasts some of the most beautiful
buildings in the UK. InstaLife was born in Brighton,
each time I would visit I’d take a ton of photographs. I
call it “London By the Sea”. It’s considered the place of
the “Free Thinkers” with it’s diverse community. Many of
my projects have been inspired by this city by the sea.

Secret 7’’ combines music and art for a good cause. What
we do is take seven tracks from seven of the best-known
bands and artists around. We press each of those tracks 100
times to vinyl then get creatives from around the world to
interpret artwork in their own style for of one of the 7 tracks
resulting in a one-of-a-kind sleeve for every single one. We
exhibit these for a week, then on Record Store Day (April
20) you can get your hands on one, or more, for £40 a piece.
All money raised from the selling of the artwork will
be donated to helping charity ART AGAINST KNIVES.
Making ART AGAINST KNIVES our charity of choice this
year was an easy decision. On top of the money and
awareness we generate this year, we will ensure that
every aspect of the project provides an opportunity for
the young people that they work with. From helping
with design, through to installing the exhibition and
making video content like the one you see here, we will
provide valuable experience in a variety of creative roles.
I come across the Secret 7”s creative invite on the design
platform Talent house. From the seven artists I chose to design
for Public Enemy and their song “Harder Than You Think”
which featured heavily on the 2012 Paralympics on Channel4.
The concept for my sleeve design was a puzzle, A puzzle is
harder than you think to complete. This competition was
open to designers all over the world and I was one of 700 to
be chosen. It’s been such an interesting brief to be involved
in,and more importantly it’s for an amazing charity helping
young people ind a career in a creative ield instead of being forced into the growing culture of knife crime.

FINAL MAJOR PROJECT - THE MAKING OF ESCAPE MAGAZINE
37
Proj3ct Uni consists of some of my favourite design briefs from the 3 years of Graphic Design I have studied. All of the projects have their own personal journey. Some of the work has a deeper meaning to mean but you as a viewer may see other meanings behind my work. In the early days of design I was hugely infl uenced by Bauhaus, which is one of my favourite styles along with Dada & Surrealism. I don’t believe everything should have a meaning, But sometimes it raises the question of “WHAT IS THE POINT?” As long as it makes me feel good, I don’t care what it means to other people.
38 ESCAPE MAGAZINE
THE BIG ISSUE
The Big Issue offers some of the most excluded
people in the country a unique opening to take
some control of their lives and earn a legitimate
income. Vendors make a personal choice to
buy their magazines with their own money,
taking charge of their i nances and sales whilst developing the skills required to retail to the
public. Vendors buy the Big Issue magazine
for 50% of the cover price. The magazines
are not free and we do not operate a sale or
return policy. We believe in the merits of work
and do all we can to support vendors as they
move their own ‘micro-businesses’ forward.
39
This is all there is
between you and death.
Profits from the sales of our magazine go towards helping homeless people help themselves.
During the winter the numbers of British homeless people sleeping rough ,outside in the
elements, rose to levels not seen since the 1980s. Hypothermia is a dangerously low body
temperature. Warning signs are confusion, slurred speech, drowsiness and memory loss.
Two successive severe winters combined with unprecedented economic strife means
our business has never been more relevant to the well being of homeless people.
INNOVATIVE ADVERTISINGAdvertising doesn’t need to be complicated, It just
needs to be good. Whatever the advertisement is for,
it needs to have a target audience and also appeal to
that particular audience. I often sit at home watching
the ad breaks and think to myself “That advert is really
stupid and pointless...” But I can assure you that I
probably went and bought whatever it was advertising
because it made me remember it. The same goes for
adverts that aren’t selling a product, But asking for
the audiences help. Most charity adverts on Television
are for Poverty in Africa, Cancer Research and NSPCC.
I felt that there was a gap in the market for The
Big Issue. With the recession in full swing, there
are a growing amount of homeless people and it
will only get worse if we don’t help the people who
need it. This advertising brief wasn’t about making
people feel good, It was about making more people
think before they walk into their local shop to buy
something they don’t need and not spare a few
pounds for The Big Issue man or woman wrapped up
in a sheet. You never know what is around the corner,
It could be you or your family in the same position.
So next time, Do a good deed and feel good about
yourself because you’ve helped someone in need.

NATIONAL
USING LAYOUT &COMPOSITION
Art Festival was a mock project in the irst year of my Foundation Degree in Graphic Design. It was a two week long
brief that was to get us as designers thinking in new ways
and exploring layout and composition. I decided to relate the
theme of “Art Festival” to a well known artistic style which
was Bauhaus. I have always been a fan of colour and shape
and Bauhaus are just one of those styles that I relate to. This
project and others since then have made me realize that “Less
is More” and that is now something I live by as a designer.
Layout on it’s own is an art form, not everyone will
understand it or get it completely right. Depending on your
style of work, nothing is ever truly “Right”. As long as it
makes people have an opinion, It means you’re doing it right.

LIVE.LOVE.LIFE
Life is a journey was a project that was set by a
lecturer while I was studying on the ABC Foundation.
Whilst the rest of the students were creating their own
brand of drink, I was set a personal project where I
had to make my life as it was in 2011 into something
typographic. I used the idea of travelling as a basic
concept. Then I studied the Underground Tube Maps
for routes that already looked like letters of the
Alphabet. I tweaked some of them to it my needs. Brighton is my favourite place to “Escape” to when
I need some space to think. The rest of the places
were just parts of the tube maps, then I added some
appropriate words for my journey. Who knew that one
day Escape Magazine would be born from this artwork.

Art Box was the freshest magazine for the UK’s culture of
Artists, Designers, Photographers, Illustrators and anyone
involved in the visual and audio arts until it’s demise in
2012. Featuring the best in world’s talent both new and
old, Art Box mixed Graphics, Art and Design with style and
insight to produce a unique magazine for today’s market.
The makers of Art Box tirelessly seeked out what was
new and unique in design, who was making a splash
in illustration, what was hot in graphics and the rising
stars in the world of photography and illustration.
Editor Elliot James and Features Editor Andy Jones
have been an amazing support and encouragement

JEFF DEPNER:
RECONFIGURED GRID No17
Jeff Depner was one of the featured artists in the
March/April 2012 issue, his work with abstract
geometric shaped really caught my eye. He works
in the Fine Art ield but I felt his work could be related to design. I had already done my triangle
logo design, But Depner’s work really deined my initial concept.

DEVELOPING THE LOGO
Developing a unique logo took some time and came
with more tweaks than I had initially expected. I had
this idea of making a typeface wholly from shapes
because I’m literally obsessed with Shape and Form.
I suppose the infl uence for this was Bauhaus, they used geometric shapes constantly in their work.
I started my logo by drawing out shapes that looked
like letters of the alphabet. From my sketches I took my
design to Illustrator and developed the shapes further.
I chose to use two colours in the on screen design to
make it stand out a bit more. My choice in the two
colours has always baffl ed me, the only explanationis that I think blue and orange compliment each
other amazingly well in my design as a whole.

52 ESCAPE MAGAZINE
DEVELOPING THE LOGO
Making the logo took longer overall to design than the
whole magazine itself. A logo and a brand is something
you can’t take too lightly because if it’s a bad branding
the company could fail. Here’s some rough drawings on
how I changed certain parts of the logo, I only realized
these parts needed to be changed after my test print.
It’s always good to do an test print so you know how
things might look on other materials so always set
aside some funds to do real test prints and do your
research on the printer you decide to use. The shaded
parts of my rough drawings show where the i nal changes were made. It’s not a decision I took lightly. I
felt the “S” previously had to many shapes to form it so
I had to cut it down to two shapes. The “C” caused so
must uproar, I had no choice in changing it slightly. It
still gets some criticism, but to be honest, legibility is
overrated when you think about breaking the rules and
realizing not one single person can read grafi ti these days. I see it as I’m testing the viewer, they are going
to be more interested if it’s not so obvious to them.

LOGO TO FRONT COVER
Upon i nishing the changes to the logo and making about 50 coloured swatches, I felt that the logo
needed to be enhanced and maybe showcased in
a more creative way. Talking about ideas with Ben
Millard & Dan Vine, I came up with the concept of
making a light stencil in reference to the Batman
spotlight. Firstly I cut out a stencil from the logo
I had designed, I then stuck it to a box so that
it could support it whilst I was shining the light
through the stencil. The tricky part was shining
the light through with a desired effect and also
take a picture at the same time. I don’t know how
I managed to do it with only one pair of hands,
But I did and the end results were very satisfying.

THE LUCKY ESCAPE
The Lucky Escape is a published photo book I put together using some of my favourite snaps of my experimental light photography. I got the idea after laying some of the photographs out in my project folder, it didn’t look pleasing to me. I went onto Blurb and found a nice template for a book. I then turnt The Lucky Escape into a “How To Do” manual so that you could learn the simple technique I used to make the front cover of this magazine. It’s available to buy from Blurb’s online book store.
