Shift: Student Stress Magazine
Shift Magazine was a group project, with Emma Winchester and Annalise Woolfe, aimed at helping students struggling with stress at university by encouraging them to get out and visit museums and galleries.
Shift: Student Stress Magazine
In the magazine design process, I focused on creating illustrations throughout the publication as well as two pull out posters that join to create one image seen in these photos.

My illustrative style and design process create a unique way of storytelling through visual clues and references that is engaging and exciting for an audience to try to find.
Even though I am still developing my style, and will continue to, there is already a cohesive distinct aesthetic to my work. My style is heavily influenced by gig posters from the 70s and 80s and the skater style from the 90s. An important factor of my work is the detailed elements. I like my illustrations to not only be visually appealing, but to tell a story within the drawings. I like to find interesting ways to visually hint at a backstory often employing appropriate inside jokes or having quirky details that you would only see after a moment of looking, almost like a “Where’s Wally?” for adults. Many of the illustrators who influence me are sticker designers and printmakers and this is an area I'm interested in entering into and seeing the different possibilities for my illustrations.
