Design for a stageplay set in 1970s Salford. I was interested in experimenting with the different text elements that form the stageplay script; dialogue text, action text, and character name cues. The play deals with the culture clash between a Pakistani man and his biracial family’s English values; thus green is used to represent this subcontinental identity while bold modern fonts act as a West contrast.

A logo, letterhead and website were all created for personal use as a freelance designer. The logo plays on the relationship between my nickname and the first three letters of my last name. In layouts items are framed in boxes to show structure, while other elements remain “outside the box.” A sans-serif fonts is used for a clean aesthetic, with titles in a lowercase serif to add a classic touch. Elements are combined to create a design that is simple, modern and elegant – a professional identity that stands in harmony with my personal one.

This project was completed for a kitchen and wardrobe design company based in London, and involved the inventory and redesign of their company website. While the old website was minimalist and aesthetically pleasing, the navigation was unintuitive and excluded certain essential elements. The new design aimed to address these problems while updating the style to appeal to the target client.
