BA Graphic & Digital Design

Katie Dennhardt

I am Katie, a multidisciplinary graphic designer. I often take an experimental approach to my practice, and I enjoy using design as a tool for self-expression.

DecoDeco: Decoding Decora

A playful approach to exploring identity and feelings of nostalgia. Questions are posed around how media consumption shapes identity, specifically in regard to teenage and childhood interests. The plush doll resembles a “FumoFumo,” a line of plush dolls that became open-source as a result of the love from its community. In my work, my Fumo doll represents a blank canvas that has been decorated to represent myself.

Design

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.
