BA Hons Graphic Design Year 1

Here are some examples of projects that I took part in during my first year at NUA. I was involved with a variety of briefs, including: branding, packaging, advertising, communication and publishing.

I enjoyed producing outcomes to briefs in a range of media - both print and digital.
