Abbie Gillett

BA (Hons) Fashion Art Direction 2020

A graphic designer specialising in publication design and printed mediums. Working mainly with themes of connection and community, while keeping randomisation and distortion as core design values.

I create graphic images using a wide range of mediums and techniques, always trying to be very playful and experimental in my approach, while embracing and celebrating mistakes. Fashion is always at the core of what I create, whether it be creating work sparked by a fashion image, a garment or inspired by a brand identity.  For each project I create, the work nearly always culminates with a printed publication of some form. I personally love having a printed publication you can hold, it's so much more personal and shows that someone has taken the time and effort to create it. It's a piece of art that you can hold in your own hands and can carry around with you.
