Graduation Project: Boston Castle Animation
For my final year graduation project, I produced a 1-minute animation that focuses on the history of Boston Castle, Rotherham. The film takes a humorous glimpse into the history of the former shooting lodge constructed in the 1700s by Thomas Howard, 3rd Earl of Effingham. I created the animation as a component of a potential campaign that could help draw more tourism into Rotherham and to shed light on the historical value of its many landmarks.
Burger King D&AD 'Whoppocalypse'
These graphic illustrations were produced for a new Burger King campaign encouraging a younger demographic to enjoy the Whopper again due to dwindling sales in the child and teenage market. I developed promotional posters, social media icons and garment designs all centred around a narrative in which Whoppers had come to life and were spreading chaos and destruction across the world, with the goal of the narrative involving purchasing Whoppers and playing themed mobile games that fed into the storyline in order to win prizes.
Grimm and Co. Illustrations

Our year group collaborated on the project and were assigned different roles in the book's production. I created illustrations and character designs for several abstract poems and short stories, including one about a living flower pot
