After studying a foundation degree in Graphic Design at The Sheffield College, Ashleigh is currently in her second year of Design and Art Direction at Manchester Metropolitan University. She’s a big believer in that simple but often forgotten advice: keep your eyes open. “I believe that curiosity and awareness of the world are important, as a designer,” she says. “I like all of my creations to have meaning and conceptual value. Researching a topic heavily is an important part of my design process, as I take pleasure in approaching briefs from unusual angles.”

Ashleigh also has an eye on the future, having taken on three work placements already and having plans for more. “I’m keen to gain further experience in industry that will provide a strong foundation for future employment after graduation,” she adds.

Everyday is Like Sunday “This piece represents the lyrics to Morrissey’s track of the same name as a mass of greyscale blocks,” Ashleigh explains. “Each letter of the alphabet has been assigned a shade of grey. My intention was to not only consider the visual aesthetic, but also the process by which I created the piece. That process reflects the themes of the song: repetition, blandness and frustration.”
