'MAKE DO'

The power of social networking

An update of what I've been working on recently...

I decided to look at the power social networking has on today's society. I find it interesting how status updates about small, insignificant things are constantly viewed by millions of people each day and how these statuses result in us wasting a considerable amount of time on social networking sites. I decided to take some of the ridiculous statuses that were on my news feed on facebook and screen print them onto newspapers to contrast the power of facebook over the news. This is still to be developed and completed.

I want this!

LONDON TO WINDSOR BIKE RIDE

I did the London to Windsor Bike Ride yesterday which was 37 miles long. With no training I wasn't expecting to actually finish it, but I did! It was such an amazing day. Bring on next year!

A typographic screen-printed triptych of our favourite design quotes. Our inspiration came from the Mamluks 14th Century Qur’an, found in the Islamic Art section at the V&A. Inspired by the impressive craftsmenship and technique displayed in the Mumluks Qur’an we wanted to render these design quotes in a way that would highlight our precious designs and craftmenship as future designers!

In collaboration with Ally Carter and Kelly Satchell.
