1. 01DISTORTED BEAUTY
IMAGE MANIPULATION:This creation was to showcase
the uglier side of London Fashion week. I created a series
of mismatched images of models from the catwalks. I
wanted to take a new look at the world of fashion, looking
at the models from others angles.
2. 02TIME AND PLACE
PHOTOGRAPHY: For this brief I was to create a series
of 5 landscape images that would be placed on London
tube trains to promote a newTV show.There had to be
connecting features on the images, which is why I chose
to include the repeating birds in all 5 photos. I interpreted
the ‘time’ aspect with the black and white style; fading
across the picture
3. 03TIME AND PLACE
PHOTOGRAPHY: For the second part of the brief, I
had to create 5 portrait images that would be placed
on the escalators in tube stations.They had to link with
the previous series so I kept the repeating bird theme. I
interpreted the ‘place’ aspect by taking pictures of different
places within a town.
4. 04THE DESIGN PROCESS
POSTER:There are many different design processes, but
the jist is always the same. It’s the way designers work
through a brief. This poster shows my interpretation of
the process, just using different mark making.
5. 05ROSIE’S FIRST ADVENTURE
BOOK:This was a typographic brief based on a object
that had been on display at the Powell Cotton museum.
I chose the butterflies and decided to create a children’s
book.To the right is all the pages in the book and the front
cover.The inside pages of the book were folded so they
could be pulled out to show wings of a butterfly.
Once upon a time there was a butterfly
C A L L E D R O S I E .
ROSIE
was the most beautiful butterfly in
ALL THE LAND.
She loved to fly around all day
with her friends to feed on the
nectar from the
FLOWERS.
ROSIE
was a monarch butterfly like
ALL HER FRIENDS.
It was
GETTING INTO WINTER.
Rosie could tell because she
has to wear her winter coat
when she went out with her
friends.
R O S I E
knows from stories that her older
brothers and sisters had told her
that monarch butterflies
ALL TAKE A TRIP TOGETHER
somewhere far away when
the weather gets cold.
She was really
E X C I T E D .
So the next morning, Rosie
PACKED HER BAGS
and got ready to take the
loooong journey.
She went to the meet the other
butterflies with all her brothers
and sisters and they all
TOOK OFF TOGETHER.
“Are we going to have a rest soon?”
Rosie asked Lilly, her older sister.
“I’m getting tired.”
“We’ve only just started,” said Lilly.
“There is a long way to go.”
“We will stop soon.”
“We have been flying a while, lets
take a rest on that big tree down
there.”
Rosie was happy.
Her little wings were very tired and
NEEDED A REST.
Rosie’s Dad said they
were going stay here
FOR THE NIGHT.
So, R O S I E
curled up on her
spot on the tree and
So all the butterflies carried on following
Rosie’s Dad, Jim - the leader of the
trip, for a while longer until he said,
went to sleep.
When she woke up, she looked
around and couldn’t see any of her
friends or brothers or sisters.
Rosie was very
WORRIED.
“It was me,”
the voice replied.
Rosie looked down and saw a
LITTLE CATERPILLAR
looking up at her.
She didn’t know where they could be.
“Excuse me!”
“What was that?” said Rosie.
“Oh, thank you,” said Rosie.
“THANK YOU so much.”
“You are welcome, “ replied
the caterpillar.
“GOOD LUCK!” he said as
Rosie flew off into the sky.
“Did you see where my
friends went?” asked Rosie
“Yes, they went that
way,” said the caterpillar
pointing into the sky.
Rosie FLEW HIGH into the
sky, looking for her friends.
SHE COULD SEE THEM!
She flew as fast as
she could
to catch up to them.
“I hope I reach them soon,”
Rosie said to herself.
Rosie flew very fast,
and soon caught up with
all the other butterflies.
She was
VERY HAPPY
to be back with her family.
A little while later, Rosie and the
rest of the butterflies reached
THEIR NEW HOME.
Rosie couldn’t wait to start
exploring but she very
tired from the long journey.
Her next adventure
would have wait until
TOMORROW.
ROSIE is going on her
first advernture.
Is she going to be able
to stay out of trouble?
Open up the pages to
find out!

and cuts to create visually pleasing pieces.
