  • Explore Europe - Game
    Friends Around the World - Explore Europe
    Children's Educational Package

    As one of my final year projects, I created a package for children, teaching them about different countries and cultures. I wanted to push this further than simply demonstrating the country’s language or food - but also explore religions, customs and festivals. Part of the outcome was a board game where players visited various marked countries and collected informational coins.

  • Letterpress Branding
    Brief to create an identity and branding for a new letterpress company in Leicestershire. I came up with the name ‘Hot Off The Press’ and developed a fresh, new look using bold colours. I also created a mailer promoting the possibilities of Letterpress. Each letter on the domino demonstrates a different technique or finish achieved with Letterpress, resulting in a fun, tactile game that clients would want to pick up and play.
