Sian Elise Haines<\/h1>\n

BA Graphic and Communication Design<\/h3>\n

I am a detail-focused graphic designer with a particular interest in brand identity design, and a love for creating beautiful and functional design solutions. During my year in industry, I gained experience in both in-house and agency roles, designing for more than 60 clients in 14 months. After graduation, I am joining architectural studio Cartwright Pickard as the Junior Graphic Designer in their London office.<\/p>\n

They aim to encourage customers to connect with themselves and the outdoors through the reflective practice of journalling as a way to combat the over-digitisation of modern life. They offer journals tailored to specific outdoor activities, including rock climbing and foraging, alongside refillable tweed journal covers. Each journal is hand-crafted using natural materials, inspired by the beautiful landscapes and rich mythology of the Isle of Skye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Unbuilt addresses a personal frustration with the superfluous demolition of historically significant buildings in Leeds without considering the negative impact on air pollution, carbon emissions and community needs. Research has shown that renovating and retrofitting existing architecture is a realistic solution, but this is rarely considered due to a hesitance towards change in the construction industry. This zine aims to use the innate human connection to community and history to mobilise readers into activism against demolition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
