Draft song i’m working on

This draft track was inspired by the cinematic intro of Yung Lean’s Happy Feet music video.

It blends a magical, atmospheric vibe with a cinematic edge, showcasing my production skills and vocal experimentation. While the track is still in its early stages, elements like subtle beatboxing add texture and rhythm, creating a unique foundation for further exploration. I intentionally kept the kick and bass minimal to maintain the ethereal tone during this initial draft phase. The direction of this piece is still evolving, allowing for creative freedom when I revisit it in the future.

also im sorry about the static sound, there was an issue of exporting the project.

Music Production Workflow: Behind the Scenes

These images show my workspace in FL Studio while producing one of my tracks. The project involved layering, mixing, and panning multiple audio elements to create a cohesive soundscape.

In FL Studio, I produce and mix music with precision, using tools like EQ, compression, and stereo separation to create immersive audio experiences. These technical skills translate into creating high-quality, polished content—whether crafting playlists, developing soundscapes, or producing tracks suitable for streaming and radio

I used channel panning for stereo effects, i like my sounds having enough room to surround itself from ear. Volume automation was applied to build dynamics; volume automation is important to me because it gives me various ways to control volume of a specific sound.

The track incorporates consolidated patterns for efficiency during mixing, i use this because of how big the data is which freezes my laptop.

The challenges i’ve faced was mixing it, i had to practice and learn new things along the way to mix correctly with skills such as mixing EQ, compressor, sidechaining and so on. I’ve been working on recording my vocals on it after a long period of anxiety thinking i can’t do it however things does take time and i’m going to keep working on vocals till i feel satisfied that area can be done.

BRiiGHT Magazine - GCSE Media Studies Coursework (2018)

BRiiGHT Magazine: A conceptual branding project created as part of my 2018 GCSE Media Studies coursework.

BRiiGHT Magazine is a conceptual branding project developed during my GCSE Media Studies coursework in 2018. This project showcases my ability to research, analyse, and design a youth-oriented magazine inspired by Tumblr aesthetics and iconic publications like The Fader and Clash. Below are the key slides and visuals from the project.

1. Research & Planning Slides: Highlight the target audience, genre analysis, and competing brands.

2. Design Inspiration: Focus on layouts, typography, and color schemes.

3. Final Magazine Cover: Showcase the Mura Masa cover design.

4. Evaluation: Reflect on the project and audience engagement.

This project was my first deep dive into media analysis and visual design. It taught me essential skills in branding and audience engagement, which I continue to develop in my creative work today. Completing this during my GCSEs laid the foundation for my passion for graphic design.

Graphic Design: Event Posters & Album Art

Exploring visual storytelling through event posters, album art, and branding concepts.

My graphic design projects focus on connecting visuals with sound, creating cohesive and compelling narratives. From event posters to album art, I aim to design pieces that captivate audiences and amplify the story behind the music.

Event Posters:

A promotional fictional poster for Wolf Alice Live: Electric Session at Electric Brixton, blending bold visuals with experimental textures.

This poster design was created to promote Wolf Alice’s live performance at Electric Brixton. The design focuses on blending a grungy, textured & mysterious aesthetic with sleek minimalist typography to capture the raw energy of the band’s performance.

Visual Style:

• Blurred, distorted imagery conveys a dreamlike and immersive vibe.

• Textures and overlays create a gritty, atmospheric feel.

Typography:

• Minimal yet impactful text placement emphasizes the event details.

• Subtle use of color (red and white) highlights key information like “Live” and “Electric Brixton.”

Composition:

• Layered visuals create depth and intrigue.

• Balanced layout ensures readability while maintaining a creative edge.

This project allowed me to explore the fusion of grunge aesthetics with minimalist design principles, creating a promotional piece that captures both the mood of the event and the band’s artistic identity.

Album Art Concepts:

Artwork 1: Playlist artworks

This playlist was curated to highlight songs I enjoy from albums that I rarely revisit, bringing a new perspective to underappreciated tracks. The cover design reflects a stylised composition, blending abstract imagery and a modern aesthetic. The use of layered visuals and contrasting elements mirrors the playlist’s concept of rediscovery and reevaluation. This project showcases my ability to combine music curation with thoughtful visual design.

Artwork 2

this is the artwork of my first EP, nspired by my debut EP’s themes of surrealism, introspection and digital corruption aesthetic

Artwork 3

This artwork was created as a personal experiment, blending unconventional design elements to evoke themes of surrealism and introspection. Using Photoshop, I incorporated chrome effects, bold typography, and textured layers to craft a visually dynamic and experimental composition. The rotated layout challenges conventional design norms, adding an unexpected edge to the piece. This project demonstrates my ability to push creative boundaries and experiment with abstract visual techniques.

These tracks were curated to reflect the unfiltered emotions often expressed in these genres.

the final version had an advert i wrote, the final version also had radio tags and an interview as well.

Key Aspects

Clean Edits: Removed explicit language using reverse effects and slight pitch adjustments to meet broadcast standards.

• Original Beat: Produced an instrumental at age 14 (2016) and integrated it seamlessly into the show.
