This was a concept for a typography assessment.This is a nameplate design for a video game title. The video game is a sci-fi set in a post-apocolyptic wasteland world. The game is called RADWORLD, "RAD" being short for radiation. The game follows the story of an escaped cyborg experiment, a young half machine half man called "Rad", as he tries to make sense of the crazy world he has been thrust unto.

The Amateur has Nothing to Lose

The Amateur has Nothing to Lose

This design was created as part of a typography assessment. We were asked to create an artwork that reflects the style and method of a chosen typographer. It also needed to include a quote from that typographer as the main focus of the design. I chose the quote "The amateur has nothing to lose", it is a quote by typographer Gemma O'brien aka MrsEaves. The design is a hand painted, large scale mural. This reflects the design process Gemma uses when creating her own designs.

DISOBEY

DISOBEY

Growing up in the byron shire I spend most of my time outdoors, at the beach and in the sun. I honestly beleive that salt water and sun is the cure to all lifes problems. When im not in the ocean im in my office/bedroom of my sharehouse, working on personal creative projects, studying, sketching, creating digital paintings and collecting images of artists I worship. I also love being amongst nature and I draw alot of my inspiration from its beauty.

I long for places i've never been and the thought of one day potentially running a successful freelance design company that allows me to travel the world and work, all in one, is the ultimate dream.​ The free moments I get I use to work as a plasterer, study, play guitar, ride motorcycles and go for adventure roadtrips in my van/second home.​


As an employee i am a self- motivated, enthusiastic, free spirited creative individual. Reliable, responsible and an adaptable, flexible team worker. Friendly, open, relaxed and cool, calm and collected under pressure. Strong attention to detail and conceptual thinker.
Critical and creative thinker, passionate about the creative process and a fun and engaging problem solver.


Im interested in a wide range of design directions, these include,

but are not limited to:

​

   - Graphic Design        - Game industry      - Branding

   - Illustration                - Typography           - Freelancing

   - Fashion                      - Web Design            - Fine art

   

I am comfortable using both MAC and PC computers. I was introduced to using computers from a very young age, this created a solid foundation for me to developed a fluent and firm understanding
of the way technology works. I continued to develop my skills throughout my education by studying IT and multimedia in high school. My strong personal interest in technology allows me to remain informed and aware of contemporary technologies.
I am comfortable using a Wacom tablet and am proficient in Adobe’s Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver.
I am also competent in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

I spend a lot of my ­­­­­­­spare time sketching and illustrating so I am used to working with physical mediums. I have also learnt to paint
digitally using Photoshop by undertaking an online workshop available with CGSociety, a well respective digital artcommunity.
