My name is Ishraq. I am a research-led designer interested in how design can be used to explore perception, and how it shapes the world we live in. My practice is conceptually-driven through analysis, theory, and experimentation, producing work across image, typography and publications.
Developed from research into light and how it can evoke emotions related to the sublime, the project explores how the sun has functioned as a symbol of divinity, transcendence and awe. Through a series of photographs, the project asks viewers to consider our instinctual desire to look into the light.
The BA Graphic and Digital Design programme is rooted in experimentation across digital and analogue media, deep collaboration and a focused engagement with visual and material culture. We are a community of visual thinkers and makers, passionate about typography and language, narrative and storytelling, motion graphics and moving image, art direction, photography and image making. We understand design as broad and complex, multi-layered and detailed, crafted and accidental. Combining professional practice and creative research with technical skills, our programme develops curious students into designers of the future.
