Land as Power Print 11.25

A response to the ISTD brief on Power, treating land not as landscape but as force, surface and structure. Three loose booklets, each tied to a primary colour and a mode of power: pre-existing (red), behavioural (blue) and perceived (yellow). 200 × 280 mm, GF Smith Colorplan covers and 160gsm interiors, set entirely in Adriane Text and held together by an elastic band.

Echo Print System 10.25

A public-facing campaign to support safe coexistence with bats in Bristol's BS3, where development puts roosts at risk. A builder pack (hi-vis vest, stickers and a quick-reference legal card) and a homeowner pack (a fold-out guide, stickers and a bat box manual) share one visual system of neon yellow and orange, signage-style type and a taped-edge bat mark. Developed with Shantai Mason and Anna Littlewood-Hillsdon.

The Western Trail at Last Publication 02.26

A research-led publication on the Great Western Cattle Trail, which moved cattle and horses from Texas to northern markets in the late 19th century.

Pocket Gospel Typography 12.24

A group response to Kendrick Lamar's “Alright”, exploring the relationship between young Black people and faith.

The set is completed by a toy car, the one from the music video, on a laser-cut plinth.
