Turning my dissertation into a stunning visual artefact
My dissertation is the creative cumulation of everything I’ve learned and enjoyed whilst at university studying Graphic Design. A lot of research in my final year was focused on exploring Scotland's identity you can get snippets of by looking through the images below. I created a cover that is fun and appealing, by creating a funny visual that places Scottish stereotypes on a Scottish mythological creature.
