Higher design research pages –2024
Brief:
- Book cover design of “The Perks of being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky made on Sketchbook.
- Target audience: fans of the book - Considerations: eye catching, visible in busy bookstores or websites, and its function is to communicate to the widest possible audience, in order to do this I successfully used aesthetics, imagery, layout and text.
I played about with different fonts and settled for ones that resemble those from a typewriter.
When researching past book covers for this book I noticed a lot of them had letters or paper-like elements involved in them. Which I then incorporated into my developments.
Higher design development pieces - 2024
Each development features different elements that I used in my research. I played about with layout to make it interesting and eye catching so a reader would want to pick it up. I though I would incorporate the flowers mentioned in the title and stuck to a colour pallet of mainly warm colours as I thought it would fit better.
Higher design final piece – 2024
For my final piece I decided to take two elements from one of my strongest developments— the envelope-like background and the pink translucent flowers. I made my final piece more minimalistic and less chaotic compared to some of my developments which made every element stand out on its own and not clash together.

Small project: Cardboard camera
models -
2023/24
In my higher graphic communications class we were assigned to create something as a homework project out of the stacks of cardboard and card we had left in our classroom.
I chose to do a model of a camera, to test myself and see how well I can get the details of a real life camera.
