NO HOPE (ORDER)

In contrast to NO HOPE (CHAOS), this project shifts focus to the Graphic Design end of the spectrum.

I sought to capture the essence of overwhelm within traditional design principles. The controlled use of typography and juxtaposition reflects the feeling of being overwhelmed while maintaining a sense of order and structure.

INTAGRID TYPEFACE

Intagrid: An initial typeface exploration using subtractive design, where lowercase negative space informed uppercase forms, resulting in a playful aesthetic.

CRASH (FLUIDITY)

Using 3D modelling, this graphic Art project introduces movement to represent the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Wiggle Display' evolved from the Swithick exploration by maintaining the circle and triangle constraint and using a single continuous line to create new, distinct letterforms.

Visualising Overthinking: This graphic design piece visualises the escalating nature of overthinking through a sequence of static shots.
