Hello

Hello, I'm Laura Whalley.

I have just graduated from Kingston University studying Graphic Design.

On this blog you will find a selection of work from my Degree show and some bits I have done on the side.

Hope you enjoy looking...  

Dementia Photography

A series of 4 photographs depicting the stages of Dementia.

Nominated for Global Student Award D&AD 2008.

Memorial

Polaroid have stopped manufacturing.

This is a memorial to the Polaroid.

Using photo-etching the memory of a one off Polaroid is physically burnt into the metal plate, which was then set in solid perspex, permanently encapsulating the end of the Polaroid era.

Letterpress - Chewing Gum

A poster portraying the disgusting truths about spitting gum.

Located on pavements, over time the effects of spitting gum will be revealed. 

Wallpaper

A depiction of the damage left by obsessive hoarding.

A condition involving the collection or failure to discard large numbers of objects, even when their storage causes impairment to basic living.

Line drawings were screen printed onto wallpaper, the top of the paper has clear recognisable objects, but as the obsession progresses, the density of layered images is parallel to the obsessive hoarding. 

Advent Calender

A different take on traditional calendars with a reusable advent calendar, counting down the days till Christmas the parcels get bigger.
