Creative Content - Magazine Project
One of the projects I completed for my Masters Degree in Graphic Design was to focus on a single object and discuss feminist issues around embodiment, crisis and care through essay and creative content.
The object I chose was a shoe. I contacted the shoe making company ‘GreenShoes’ for an interview, and I created a magazine with the topics I researched being the articles within the magazine. I wrote all the articles and poems, drew the illustrations and produced all the creative content for the magazine.
Outcome - Tutor Feedback: The magazine format is a smart tool through which to structure and arrange the various parts of this project. It is professionally presented, and referenced to academic standards with imaginative styles of writing, ranging from essayistic to the personal to the poetic. A joy to read - Grade A.
While studying my Masters Degree in graphic design I started my own campaign to raise awareness of plastic pollution. I created Mr Fish from recycled plastic and paper.
I volunteered in a beach clean up with the Marine Conservation Society, I created a newsletter and I designed and presented videos for children raising awareness of plastic pollution. I posted Mr Fish to six different countries - his adventures were shared and liked across social media!
