Laurie Jackson, MA Graphic Media Design
MA Graphic Media Design graduate, Laurie Jackson, explores the rise in popularity of brutalist architecture in his project Brutopia. Laurie’s work highlights London’s current housing and gentrification crisis, emphasising the irony present in the transformation of these structures from dystopian ‘concrete monstrosities’ to ‘luxury’ homes.
Tom Battey, MA Games Design
Tom’s ‘Catbox’ project is an experimental virtual pet designed to create an emotional bond with its user over time. The MA Games Design graduate’s virtual pet’s behaviours are influenced by research into social psychology and was developed for mobile devices, iPhone and iPad.
Check out some other work by Tom on his website.
