Sheila Syafiina / Graphic Design BA(Hons)

The project displayed is my Independent Project which I initiated in my final year as a Graphic Design student. I mostly approach projects using analogue methods, which I applied onto this project and can be seen in the pictures. The project’s aim was to re-brand a book series I grew up with, which was the Famous Five series, authored by Enid Blyton. The brief I set for this project was to touch on the way Enid Blyton described the characters and how they’re written, by highlighting phrases that are deemed controversial in the modern era. By doing so, it would theoretically cause readers to wonder why they’re highlighted and eventually challenge the controversial notions, too. Aside from re-branding how the book looks, I also produced several experimental collages to challenge these notions myself. The original plan was to also have the collages within the book.
