She is currently studying Printmaking at the Royal College of
Art. I was suprised by this at first as it seems quite different from D&AD but when you see her work it begins to make sense...
I distinctly remember seeing a piece of her work when I attended an MMU open day before I began the course. Her year group had all been asked to produce a power-point style presentation but she decided to do something very different. She created a Macbook made out of paper which folded out to contain her hand drawn presentation. I was so inspired by this, it made me realise how creative you an be and that in design rules are there to be played with!
She showed us some examples of her third year work. Again I remembered seeing this when it was on display in the Urbis and I wrote about it in my 1st year journal. Her final project mapped human movement around the house.
Since the lecture I've been keeping an eye on her online portfolio! I love the recent illustrations she has done for the BBC. I really wish I could work in this illustrative way but I don't think it's meant to be!
These drawings for 'The Vicar of Dibley' appeared as a backdrop when the celebrities were being interviewed as well as being an
imated for a small title sequence.
I am so jealous that she got to create a number of illustrations for 'Blackadder' as well!! These illustrate Blackadder's 'most cunning moments' and were animated to introduce clips of the legendary comedy.
