My practice is defined by an interest in both print and motion graphic communication. I work between a range of processes, from Letraset typography to Java Script code, producing works that explore craft and function. Works of design have a deep footing in the physical world, consequently I tend to use a work's real life setting whilst designing, such as developing a poster physically straight onto wall space. This has developed a strong affiliation with physicality, process and precision. My interest in motion-graphics is heavily rooted in a contrasting digital process, involving a range of programmes such as Processing, AfterEffects and Cinema4d. I find that working between both print and digital media proves to be an insightful process, one can inform the other. I hope to apply and develop the relationship between print and digital media further in the editorial industry and other future projects.
