JW VOL. 1
(2024)
The core concept of my creative report was related to being a multidisciplinary designer. Merging designing practices and exploring new methods of making has always been an important and enjoyable part of my design process and I sought to reflect this idea through the packaging of the report. The packaging was created by vacuum forming sheets of plastic and 3D printing clips to hold the two sides together so that the publication could sit securely inside. For my publication I interviewed ISTD awarded graphic designer Kris Brown. Kris’ ability to create engaging layouts led me to challenge myself to create a long format publication that struck a strong balance between text and image, reflecting my interest in imagery and Kris’ interest in typography. The size of the publication was inspired by the 3:4 scale of digital screens. Creating a physical publication using a digital scale conveys the relationship between physical and digital media, something that Kris and I are both particularly interested in.
