Helena Gregory
MA Graphic Design and Art Direction
My MA project is an expression of my personal interest in literature and how we understand language, as well as my fascination as a graphic designer for the relationship between image and text. The concepts are united by visualising a reader's response to James Joyce’s novel Ulysses.
To create work that emulates a personal reaction I have used a variety of graphic mediums including photography, montage and mark making. I approach the text analytically using both subjective and objective methods to develop graphic depictions of the reading cycle. I also use photography to explore the materiality of the book and its movement through time.
