In response to the House of Illustration’s ‘Illuminated Alphabet’ competition, I created a different letter each day throughout April, culminating in both the finished 26 letters and a new working process.
When I compiled the finished alphabet, I could see a progression of my practice – by collaging and editing each day, the designs gradually became more complex in terms of composition and how I achieved incorporating the type.

Overall, this project introduced me to a new process and allowed me to refine it – now, I am beginning to unify collage and digital work to make my process more efficient.
