I decided to create a projectconsisting of a regular consumption
of mine.TEA.I created this brand called TEA as
a alternative to the ordinary tea
competitors like PG, Tetleys andTwinings.
I decided to use different packagefor the TEA brand and vibrant
colours and a eye catchingillustration to stand out amongst the
noise of the tea shelves.

What if 7/7
I noticed that after 7/7 the word terrorist became a lot more prominent in the
media especially in regards to Muslims, it became that if you were Muslim you were
automatically a terrorist and this made many people feel uneasy and fearful. Throughfear hate is born. A satirical piece depicting a day where 7/7 didnt happen and
peoples perception of Muslims shown though social media

What if university
The concept of this piece is a timeline that goes clockwise illustrating what I perceive
my life would be like if I did or did not go to University. It starts at the top right with ayoung me reecting on the beginning of my career as an illustrator. The next frame
(bottom right) depicts on the work I would do during my time at University. This is shownby the paint brush in my hand and the university accommodation setting that is the
background. The next frame represents the balance of work and play, this is depicted
by the game console controller. This also highlights one of the many inuences in myillustrations which is game art. The nal frame portrays me as a graduate. The change
of my appearance and the clock show how time has passed and the sign post showsthe different directions I could take.
Alternatively we could look at the illustration anti-clockwise starting from the samepoint. The next frame (top left) of me as a graduate explains what my intention was
when I started this piece. This is the notion that university no longer guarantees a jobat the end of the degree unlike it did back in the day. The guarantee of having a job
after University is no longer certain. Therefore I believe I would be in the same positionregardless of whether I went to university or not.

BlissWhat I wanted to show the most is how music is bringing different people together,
connecting their hearts by the music they are listening to. The sound waves representpeoples thoughts feelings and reactions to the music.Despite their differing colours,
their connection typies the unifying element music plays in the world. Inspired by
