Free font Simonetta

Brownfox, an independent type foundry in Moscow, describe their font Simonetta as "named in honour of Simonetta Vespucci. She was considered to be the most beautiful woman in Renaissance Florence and was nicknamed ‘La Bella Simonetta’. She was a model for Sandro BotticelliХs painting ‘The Birth of Venus’ and many others of his female characters.

The Simonetta font is inspired by Italian Humanistic typefaces, but it’s a contemporary font with a lot of original features. It has one-sided serifs and soft drops. It’s slightly slanted (some two degrees) and the Italics have the same slant. The Romans and Italics differ from each other only in the shapes of the characters. The Italics are much more calligraphical and angular."
Download it for free from Brownfox and available in 4 weights.

The Illustrated Periodic Table of Elements
Chemistry was never my favourite subject at school. I always remember struggling with the periodic table & elements in particular.
The names are particularly hard to remember, and some the the symbols do not match the name of the elements, for example Fe for Iron.
This Periodic Table makes it clear for young students to identify an element, by using simple images relating to their use commercially.

Resistance
In life we try to resist temptation everyday.
But as a designer I believe these temptations become harder. To walk through a super market and not want to put everything straight and forward facing is a particular struggle.
The posters I've created gives the user a little taster of the struggle designers face. Do you keep the posters in perfect condition, or resist temptation and follow the subtle instructions to make the plane fly...

Pencils Before Breaktime
Pencils. We all use them; we all lose them just as easily. How many times to we go to our bags, pencil case, or desk tidy and not find our pencil. The many uses of pencils are endless and we use them more than we realise in our everyday lives. This short film is a focus on how we use them and how from an office block to a building site, the pencil is a universal tool and all trades.
The pencil is the jack-of-all-trades, and master of them all too.

Garment care symbols redesign
A campaign aimed at challenging the design of garment care symbols found printed on the labels of clothes. I wanted to create a system which acts as a recommendation to the user rather than a ‘you must wash it like this’. I decided to ruthlessly and critically expel lots of the symbols used today and narrow it down to just 2 symbols. The 2 symbols symbolise the only information that the consumer needs to know in a clear and understandable way, which doesn’t need to be supported by text. The first symbol symbolises ‘wash at 30, with colours’ and the second symbol symbolises ‘wash at 40, with light colours’. My research told me that colours can be washed at 30 and not only come out feeling just as fresh and clean but also saving you money. Also my research told me that whites can be washed at 40 and also save money with out taking away the fresh and clean feel to your clothes. The symbols hope to change peoples ways in which they wash their clothes so that co2 emissions are kept down and saving energy is kept up.

Milk Packaging

Low carbon footprint milk packagingThis was my response to a packaging design competition brief set by ‘starpack’. The brief’ was to design a new and low carbon footprint way to package milk.

'RecAPPe' smart phone application.
A smart phone application that I designed called ‘RecAPPe’ – an application that allows users to scan the bar codes of food products and then view recipes that match the ingredients that were scanned.

D&AD New Blood 2012

-->

Another venue and another great experience. While those at home endured flooding, Graphic Communication students (From left to right: Hannah Foy, Dan Muir and Brad Ankers) enjoyed the glorious London weather and heat of Spittalfields Market to show their work alongside students from Universities all around the country.

Blair Frame and Jayde Essel from the Illustration course also attended what proved to be a busy and packed schedule of events, folio reviews and openings.

Both Print and Multimedia work was on display and thanks to the hard work of the students, staff and technicians the exhibition was well received and good industry contacts were made as a result.
