Business cards designed for the Events Manager at the American restaurant ‘Boondocks’. My only concept for this business card was to make them look as scrumptious as possible.

After designing ‘Boondocks’ business cards for my employer, they requested for another batch. The same details are present on back however this time the business card is for their bakery ‘Butterscotch’. The vine border on the business cards was adopted from the ‘James Street’ menus to help maintain the branding.

This book was my dissertation that wrote and physically conducted while in university. I chose to write about this topic because I thought it was a discussion that would raise eyebrows considering that males are considered the alpha species in society. The thought of a woman physically abusing a men is bizarre to some, to the point that the media hardly portrays it. This book explores that and analyses just how UK media creates awareness for male domestic violence victims and also compares how it’s portrayed compared to female domestic violence victims.

3 final pieces I made for a university project in my 3rd year. The brief given was to display destruction in any way shape or form. For my execution I decided to project destruction both physically and mentally. The War in Syria is a real life, on-going war full of elements of destruction so I decided to visually emulate that experience through art. The physical destruction is apparent in the 1st 2 paintings but in the 3rd as where I was displaying how war can produce mental destruction in the youth living in that area. Sometimes creating child soldiers out of them as they find a means to survive and support their families who may also be at war. I digitally painted these using a Wacom tablet on Adobe Illustrator with water colour paintbrush styles to go for a raw look, somewhat influenced by old war watercolour paintings.
