Tom Regan-Hammersley- BA (Hons) Graphic Design
I am a graphic designer who is curious and passionate about both Art and Design, and how they may be interpreted, especially with emerging digital technologies. I am excited and motivated by the huge, potential creative possibilities they present and have explored this in my final year projects.
Bringing my own interests in music, new media and gaming give my work a strong visual direction and has facilitated my ability to create entertaining, innovative and novel digital experiences for projects.
My design style is collaborative, open and research-driven and allows me to understand and identify with the core elements of client personality, ethos, purpose and goals. Finding even the smallest ideas and nuances can add interest, value and enjoyment to a design for the client and their audience.
In my second year of study, I was shortlisted in a competition brief with G. F. Smith to create an album artwork, that visually interpreted the soundscapes (developed with Father) for their new Colorplan paper family.
This dynamic and valuable experience encouraged me to take a unique approach in one of my final year briefs set by International Magic. I explored designing and developing a unique interactive website which takes a scientific look at vinyl record topography (the physical landscape of a record's spiral groove) and interpret it in an accessible, interesting and attractive way.
In the future I would like to pursue more opportunities to learn, develop and practice my design capabilities and become a competent and professional creative.
