Central Saint Martins talk March 2015.
Which key pieces of work changed your view of graphic design. How does this show in your professional practice today.
Been working on cultural projects for the last 7 years
Mainly on visual design and UX
Choose the illustration pathway
Started looking into animation and typography in 2nd year
Created a site around a project which was looking at the evolution of typeface and how they have developed.
used flash to create points in the animation to more detailed look at the type face and what family it belongs too
from the website, started to create a book structure which could mirror the browsing behaviour of the site
Created large sections with small inserts of details for each specific sub category allowing the user to browse major families as well as find out about sub categories
Thesis
Looked at the ways in which people interrupt information and how structure can guide people through but ou should also have the choice to create your own story
It wa created like a children's picture books where major sections were split into three and could be compiled into new narratives
again I created a website as this was had the potential to completely order the narrative structure
There is more information, more readily available, more immediately, in more formats, on more devices and to many hundreds of millions more people than ever before.
few ways ui and design can help people engage
Interned at various agencies on digital teams
After finding that interaction design held more possibilities for browsing and learning type behaviours I focused on this
