Reveal

Publication

Publication and clothing

Reveal is a project that explores the question: how does the visual identity of adult magazines from the 1980s affect the way in which we view gender and sexuality today? Through experimental photography, research, questionnaires, and design, I explore the aesthetics of 1980s pornography and how deeply this pornography continues to affect us today. I combined all of this into a 72 page magazine along with a typeface I designed and merchandise for my created brand titled 'Reveal'. Alongside this I also wrote a 3,000 word essay exploring and researching this question which I designed into a book.

Our Rights Shouldn't Have an Expiration Date!

Packaging

Food packaging

In recent years many rights in the US have been recalled or regressed. Focusing specifically on abortion rights, immigration rights, voting rights, trans rights, and LGBTQ+ rights, each right is designed into food packaging which holds an expiration date marking when the right was recalled or regressed. This project uses dark humour to compare society to a dystopia where human rights are able to expire like food.
