Amy Pennington
BA (Hons) Graphic Design
I’m interested by social development and the environment; looking back in history, observing the current state of society, and also thinking about the future. I have found that the most stimulating method of presenting such topics is through moving image. This area of graphic design allows me to form memorable relationships between image and sound – inducing conversations and generating change. Branding and art direction are two other areas which I enjoy, using my photography skills whenever I get the chance. People do not listen to words alone; they need visualisation of the problem in hand.
Second Skin, a garment made from pairs of tights, reflects upon the themes of race and inclusivity. Mapping the song 'Early In The Morning’, recorded in 1948 at Parchman Prison. Skin is the organ that protects us, yet it is also the organ which exposes us, most vulnerable to assault.
