From 2013 to 2015, I completed a Masters Degree in Graphic Design and Typography at the Cambridge School of Art.

This degree encourages the development of a creative, enquiring and critical approach to the graphic image and its uses in contemporary practice, covering traditional craft processes to digital image making, exploring the graphic image and its uses, in both web based and print formats. Key aspects of a masters include social, political, environmental and commercial contexts of graphic design, and the processes by which graphic design operates to convey meanings in various environments.

The Masters comprised four modules over 2 years:

Interpretation and Origination: Modes of Graphic Authorship: the focus of this module was to work with an external source to enable graphic design to offer a solution. Walk in Our Shoes and the module booklet put forward the alternative view from men and women who have suffered child loss or are childless through any circumstance. Powerful graphics and a personal photo give a voice to those who can be excluded in social media and society. Walk In Our Shoes aims to bridge that gap.

Process and Practice as Research explored the neurological effects of synaesthesia and how this affects the presentation of digital media. The module asked if synaesthesia could be explained through a study of textures and feelings in a series of workshops.

Typographic Enquiry investigated the work of Thomas Langdon, an Elizabethan surveyor. The project digitised Langdon's handwriting from a 1617 map of a Cambridgeshire village, Balsham, produced for the London Charterhouse.

Master's Dissertation: Art and Design explores the role of Cambridge University Press designer and typographer John Peters. The piece contrasts the working conditions and evaluates the practices of the Press at the time through his papers and archives. Can designers from publishing learn from the designers who began their trade in print? This dissertation became an exhibition at the Cambridge University Press museum.

Master's Project: Art and Design is a social design project giving a voice and face to neurodivergence. The project aimed to create a toolkit to raise awareness through contemporary imagery and design. This project has been sent to the Dyspraxia Foundation for exhibition. The posters were displayed at Anglia Ruskin University.
