Honourable Mentions at Muse Creative Awards 2016

2016 marks a huge milestone as I win my first awards for two poster designs with international recognition in The Muse Creative Awards. This proves my strong design skills and world class quality of work in poster design.

“As an independent, mainly self taught graphic designer, I’m thrilled to have the honour of two of my designs receive Honourable Mention in The Muse Creative Awards. It means so much to me to have my work recognized on an international level.”

Independent Graphic Designer Wins at the 2016 Muse Creative Awards

Footloose Reimagined

This poster was a part of a design challenge I participated in. We were to redesign an 80's movie poster or a more recent movie poster in a completely original concept that looks like something you might see in the 80's. Footloose just came to mind while I was thinking of what I wanted to do.This design won an Honourable Mention in the 2016 Muse Creative Awards. http://www.curioos.com/product/print/footloose-reimagined

The Division Poster Design

A poster design I made as a surprise for a friend based on a Facebook group he created called The Synnie Squad. It's about Synesthesia which is a neurological condition that causes a combined sensory reaction like being able to "see" sound or perceiving letters and numbers as having colours. The group is for serious discussion but also has a slight role playing side to it. This design won an Honourable Mention in the 2016 Muse Creative Awards.
