Afflatus: divine inspiration

Now that my assignments are being submitted, I can finally start posting my work from the past couple of months.

First up, the work I'm proudest of; my Graphics Design assignment. For this assignment we were tasked with creating a magazine, featuring 3 articles (minimum double page spread each), the first on a typographer, the second on our choice, and the third on ourselves.
I've had a lot of fun with this assignment, and I am actually looking to expand upon this over the holidays and create an actual magazine (further details will be released in the upcoming weeks).
But in the meantime, please enjoy.

I Had No Safeword

For my Digital Media assignment at Academy of Design Australia, we were tasked with creating a poster for one of Amnesty International's campaigns.
I chose their anti-torture campaign.The UN Convention against Torture was written only 30 years ago, and Amnesty International was behind the charge to introduce it. But this has not made torture cease to exist. Amnesty International have reported on 141 countries for breaking the Torture Convention; That’s three quarters of the world, and only in the last five years. The biggest problem countries include; Nigeria, Mexico, Phillippines, Uzebekstan, China, and North Korea. Even Australia has been reported on for its detention camps. These cases are not some random person torturing victims, they are by governments and systematic organizations torturing their own people.

Amnesty International is fighting torture by insisting that lawyers be present during interrogations. That doctors are able to examine detainees. That torture-drawn confessions cannot be used in courts. Detainees can see their families. And that anyone involved with inflicting torture is brought to justice.

I'm really happy with the results of this poster, it's exactly what I wanted to achieve.

Foreboding Horoscopes

I have finished the first semester of uni this year, so I can now share the results from my photography assignment: Foreboding Horoscopes.
I wanted to try something new with my photography and editing for this, it's been interesting and I've learned a lot over the semester.
I hope you all enjoy.

If I Had A Heart

I'm excited to share my project for my Graphics Design class at the Academy of Design Australia. The aim of this project was to create a Record Cover; along with a CD cover/booklet, poster, and t-shirt.
I chose Fever Ray's If I Had A Heart, I really love her music, and her lyrics are so quirky. I combined this with my current trend of Runes, by using Mannaz, meaning mankind.

This project has no associate/affiliation with Fever Ray, Rabid Records, or their assigns. It was purely mad for Academic purposes.

Ragnarök

I'm excited to share my big project for my photography class at the Academy of Design Australia. The aim of this project was to create a portfolio, consisting of ten images, featuring tableau vivant portraiture, and still life photography.
It's currently the biggest project I've done to date, it involved five separate shoots; some on location, some in a set I made, costuming, prosthetics and special effects. But I really enjoyed creating this, and I can't thank those who were involved enough.

Personal Space

I created this piece for the Academy of Design Australia SPACE: first and second year exhibition 2015. I'm really happy with this piece, and you can still see it on display at the moment.

Personal space is important to me. But quite often people around me breach my personal space, either intentionally or through a lack of understanding. In this photo I captured how I feel when these breaches occur. I used a lot of negative space in my piece to represent how, in order to gain one’s own personal space back from those around them, they must shrink themselves. But this is an unhealthy circle, as those encroaching continue to close in and the individual shrinks further and further.
