Polaroid sunglasses – Competition
# UPDATE #

I have recently submitted an entry into the Polaroid ‘Best under the sun’ competition in which designers had to create unique eye-wear inspired by a decade of history.

‘No Nukes’ Competition
Poster design for the ‘No Nukes’ competition.
My poster ‘Choice’ illustrates the negative effects of nuclear power and flows through to illustrate the positive effects of green energy. The symbols represent the various forms of natural energy available such as solar, bio, hot springs, wind, water etc.. The poster also uses the image of hands and the globe to portray the message ‘the world is in your hands’ and you have a choice ‘?’ to use the methods in the poster over nuclear power.
