My favourite part of design is creating something for myself. Creating a brand from the ground up. Music is a passion of mine and I love creating work that combines both music and design. If your heart isn’t in the design you can see it, I try to make work that evokes an emotion whatever that emotion may be.

In a collaborative project with Luke King we created a map of manchester through smell. Creating an infographic with a system of colour related to smell we chose a route through manchester and noted down all the different types of smells. We found that each smell was made up of certain base smells. We then created a book to acompany the poster that combined to create a reference. We used the same colours but combined them in different ways to show that even though a smell is made up of the same components they are always different.

Nice was a club night event that we hosted at ‘The Deaf Institute’ in manchester on 4th April. We created a whole brand around the music. Our main focus was on having friendly vibes where people can come together and dance, away from a lot of the club scene that we have found to be quite pretencious. We chose to use playful almost childlike materials such as crayon and paint. We used rubbings from buildings around manchester to have the city part of the work. The design needed to stand out in the street so we created the pattern that reapeats the logo to be recognizable from a distance.

We wanted to create a piece of promotional material to cary on the ‘Nice’ project. We decided that we wanted to create an infographic of the previous night so as to show prospective customers and also have a form of memrobilia for ourselves.
