Julia Szwed
I am an open-minded individual with a passion for the environment and social change. I have been a creative person since a very young age, painting all over the walls in the house. It’s a peaceful process that has become one of my biggest passions. I like to create work with meaning behind it in a style that is bold and illustrative. Within graphic design I specialise in branding work including logo design, posters and merchandise as well as illustration, editorial and digital design. I also hope to be more involved with physical design such as upcycling and mural

A short video outcome documenting the word 'connect' using semaphore while exploring various ways of visual communication and language. Using hand made flags created from recycled materials.
No phones campaign - T-shirt Design
T-shirt design created with the intention of encouraging less phone use in public. I screen printed these myself using various bright colour combinations. The designs were also adjusted for small tote bags.
Windows with Rainbows
A video outcome combining a publication design with motion. Publication was a direct response to the creations I came across during my daily dose of activity during the Covid-19 pandemic. A collection of my favourite creations by the people of Bristol.
Pick up!
A publication which was printed the same size as an average smartphone with a metal cover to make it feel just like a phone. It contained facts and figures that encourage users to evaluate their relationship with their phone.
