ITBD IsThisBadDesign? Archive

Current Studio 3015 Graphic Designer I am a 2022 first class graduate of Graphics Arts at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, with a specialism in Graphic Design, I am an engaged designer who is constantly pushing my practice to explore new things. I take particular interest in focusing on the details of a brief or project, and exploring how these elements can then be used to influence my work within projects. This often leads to engaging and logical bodies of work that encapsulate key elements of projects.

I like to work with a variety of mediums and outcomes within my practice, including physical print, type, publication and branding. I also have a basic understanding of motion and some web coding which I am always looking to learn, integrate and further establish within my practice. I have broad experience working within the retail sector which has given me the opportunity to become aware and knowledgeable on packaging, advertising, point of sale design and other elements within the sector.

What is IsThisBadDesign? Since I began my journey with design and graphics during my school education I have been fascinated by finding unique ways of exploring visuals, research and my practice. During my foundation art course at college this passion really bloomed, and led to the creation of IsThisBadDesign? At the time my work was all about questioning and pushing my designs into spaces that were unconventional. This enthusiasm and interest has stayed with me since, and played an ever developing and changing role in my practice.

In more recent years, with my knowledge and skills expanding during my time studying Graphic Arts at the University of Southampton, my practice has developed into implementing my attention and love for unique exploration in more subtle and controlled ways that I am always looking for new ways to build upon.
