Embracing Cosmic Neighbours

Supreme Winner - 2024 BJ Ball/Ball & Doggett Student Design Contest.

This piece was created in response to the theme, “Visions of the Future - and expression of the future through type and colour.” Imagining a playful and optimistic future, my design envisions a world where aliens and humans coexist as cosmic neighbours. To bring this idea to life, I developed a custom illustrated typeface that integrates sci-fi motifs and storytelling, using vibrant colour and character driven visuals.

Judges praised the piece as:

“A humorous and well realised take on the brief. Strong use of hand illustrated type, with visual gags contained within some of the characters. Very cool!”

“Great use of developing own typeface and including colour and graphics in the font.”

“Impressive custom typeface design, incorporating vibrant colours and integrated graphics.”

Selected as one of the supreme winners, my work was featured in the 2025 calendar and in the March 2025 issue of GSM magazine.
