Sound Symbol


Symbolising an intangible object proved to be a challenging task. To start i looked at representing sound through depicting the source which makes it ie. speakers, a mouth, etc. I developed this idea and then tried to represent sound through reproducing sound waves as curved lines. above are my 2 attempts

The jesus fish is the previously used christian symbol. Not only was fish a common food of the day, it was also used by Jesus during His ministry.

After the crucifixion of christ, the cross became the most commonly used symbol to represent christianity.

Letter to Woolworths

Dear Sir/Mam,

I’m a first year design student studying at the Billy Blue School of Design in North Sydney. We have recently been presented with a task that requires us to brand and develop a short term charity initiative. We have decided to provide two separate school classes (we are thinking Double Bay Public and Grammar in Paddington) with free apples to promote a healthy lifestyle - we plan on handing out these apples with a colouring sheet with health promoting slogans such as “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. This colouring in sheet will then be submitted to a website where we as design students judge the best image. We will then provide the winner with a printed t-shirt of our design. This is where you come in! We were hoping to get Woolworth on side by donating around 200 apples to give to the kids. We would be most happy to include Woolworths in the branding of the exercise and proudly display your logo on all printed materials. We are hoping to have our distribution of apples next week - I realize this very soon but any help would be appreciated.

Cause Poster


Since my last post we have slightly changed our cause..

We are still promoting good health amongst young children but are now targeting their diet. We plan to hand out fresh apples with a colouring in exercise for primary students to complete. They can then go and post their colourings on a blog where the best one will be awarded with their very own custom t-shirt.

This poster is a draft for promoting the cause.

Pixel Portraits

Although this exercise proved to be a time consuming, tedious job, i am quite happy with the results. Some are better than others, but overall i believe that anyone who knows the lectures i have chosen to depict would readily be able to identify them without any help.
