Ellie Colman - BA (Hons) Graphic Design
Hi my name is Ellie, and I’m a Manchester based graphic designer and creative from North Yorkshire. During my time at university I have explored many different areas within design as I wanted to find what suited me the most and develop my practice further. I enjoy using analog methods to create my work, whether that is a publication or animation as it makes the work feel more personal to me.
During my time here I found a love for layouts and publications, being able to communicate a theme or message through a publication is such a big part if my practice. However recently whilst creating a architectural typeface in collaboration with Dalton Maag I found a new passion for type design and I would love to develop this further within my practice. Also taking part with the vertical gallery and being commissioned to create a piece of work for the gallery has been one of my biggest achievements whilst at university and I am so proud of the work we created as a team! In that piece off work we were able to combine our love for analog design and raw stop motion animation to create a beautiful 2 minute cyanotype animation with six large scale prints beside it.
I have found that no matter the project I’m always finding a way to include my personality and creativity into my work!
