VOYAGER

In 1977 the Jet Propulsion Laboratory launched the Titan IIIE rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. On board the rocket were two of the most advanced spacecrafts ever built, each carrying an important message from Earth. The mission was set to be one of the greatest space missions ever, taking advantage of the once in a lifetime alignment of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The planetary mission soon became an interstellar mission as both spacecrafts journeyed deeper into the unknown boundaries outside our solar system.

Mission Overview:

This 112 page coptic bound publication looks at the entire mission from the initial plans and discussions, to the spacecrafts current location and statistics. Printed on 120gsm Munken, embossed and vacuum sealed cover

FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION

Material Type was the name of the brief set for one of my graphic and media design final major projects. The brief encouraged us to explore typography through physical mediums. Choosing a quote or statement and enhancing and portraying the meaning through physical forms, materials and texture.

Sullivan is known for steel-frame constructions, considered some of the earliest skyscrapers. Sullivan’s famous axiom, “form follows function,” became the touchstone for many architects. This means that the purpose of a building should be the starting point for its design.

Process:

All the materials used in the build of the coffee table were reclaimed waste materials, therefore the table was almost free to produce with the only cost being small metal hardware and LED lighting.

I wanted this table to be a homage to handmade craft and to limit the use of CAD and CNC. Each letter form was hand cut and finished with hand tools.

The entire process was photographically recorded and produced into a 156 page editorial which can be seen below.

Rationale:

Spirit and thought can be seen in every piece of furniture. The time spent and process behind every cut and imperfection enhances the viewers understanding of the object insight. 

The rationale behind the piece was to create an object that lacks perfection yet still functions, sparks interest and differs from the crowd while paying homage to DIY aesthetics.

MODE—FOR.THE.GREATER.GOOD

GREATER GOODS

Founded in 2018 Greater Goods is a London based design project which is dedicated to sustainability and the nature of upcycling. Our aim is to encourage and promote the use of reclaimed materials and to show the importance of recycling in the current climate. Our strong focus on practical and functional design has been translated to a range of mediums from woodwork and carpentry to textiles and fashion.

Tote Bag Project

The collection focuses on reconstructing and repurposing worn and damaged outerwear garments into fully functional tote bags that are built to withstand daily use. Each constructed from recycled garments as well as elements of military surplus in an effort to reduce man-made waste and breathe new life into forgotten materials. The bags feature unique patinas and finishes depending on how the garments were treated and used. Each bag is unique in every aspect from shape, size, colour, detailing and materials, often dictated by the materials used whether it be Gore-Tex or canvas.
