This project posed the unique challenge of designing a cookbook without images. The hand illustrated headings and title pages are inspired by 1950’s window lettering, while selective colour creates hierarchy within the recipes.

This is an editorial design piece created for a third-year design core class. Applied Arts Magazine held a competition for students to re-imagine their magazine. For my design, I drew inspiration from urban landscapes. This created a backdrop for editorial content about the future of creative industries.

The outline for this project was simple, design a poster for the Alcuin Awards hosted at Emily Carr University. The Alcuin Awards honors both
innovation and craft in book design. With this in mind I took inspiration from two very different places: Art Nouveau Book covers, and neon signs.
My aim was contemporize and hi-light the detail oriented nature of book design.
Alcuin Awards Poster
description
This poster was created for the 29th annual Alcuin Awards, a program that recognizes excellence in Canadian book design. Created in my Advanced Typography course, it was my intention to reflect a more traditional side of book design. The poster was inspired by bookplates, which are also known by their Latin name ex libris, translating to "from the books." As an extra challenge, although the piece was welcome to have subtle image elements, it was required to focus primarily on the use of typography.

Masculine & Feminine is a short kinetic type video which examines the relationship between the appearance and the gendered bias of a typeface. This video was submitted as part of the "Pop-Up Museum" in Peter Cocking's Advanced Typography course.
Audio was recorded in Adobe Audition. Video composition was completed in Adobe After Effects CS5.5.
