DESENSITIZED!!

  1. Make less sensitive.
  2.  Make (someone) less likely to feel shock or distress at scenes of cruelty, violence, or suffering by overexposure to such images.
This is a word which I feel society is today, especially when advertising is concerned. Everywhere we go, everywhere we look, and everything we touch is almost a form of advertising, and in my opinion, the world today is becoming more and more desensitized to what is around us.

I want to create a set of posters that are representative to this in some way, I want the poster to be of a specific language that the passer by / the reader automatically thinks it is something to do with selling, when its actually the opposite. However I will do this using the typographic language with the experiments I have undertaken, using hand made type.

The posters will represent what I believe and have views on, but at the same time, if someone was to read the poster they will realise it is something else, and may even relate to it themselves.

About Me

My name is Dan Gorham, currently based in a little village outside of Rye East Sussex. I am a Graphic Designer currently studying a BA in Art & Design with the University of Brighton (Visual Communication Design Pathway), I have 3 A levels in Art & design and have recently completed a foundation degree in graphic communication. My experiences within design, range from working in house with an agency called 44th Hill, to working freelance for clients I have gained myself, all while studying. At this time my work is mostly Visual Identities and 2D print based. I have worked with clients such as Moet Hennessy UK and have had the pleasure of working on conceptual idea based projects for High profile companys, in collaboration with agency 44th Hill. I love to experiment, and I love to tackle challenging briefs.
