Exploring composition, colour and shape through collage processes and creating a body of work based on the theme 'memories'.

Digital Media

Practicing digital media techniques and collaboratively work in a group, we created a series of video based research projects on famous artists from the past.

Working in our small group, we created a short stop motion video with sound based on a given historical artist. We also played with green greens and created short films.

Graphic Design
VAC

Playing with composition, shape and space through graphic design processes and creating an advertising exhibition poster based on my studio practice.

Linking my studio area into education, I used photographs of samples and manipulated them with photoshop. My entire process is recorded.
