Harriett Smith
BA (Hons) Design for Publishing
I am a graphic designer specialising in book cover design, with skills in editorial design, type design, illustration and printmaking. When creating my work, I love to mix digital design with physical making processes such as collage, lino-printing, handwriting and illustration.
I enjoy the challenge of making such different techniques work together, and I find it makes my work more detailed, personal and fun to create. This range of skills and interests makes me a flexible and versatile designer with a keen eye for detail.
Alongside my university work, I have been taking on freelance work, my most recent being the cover design and interior typesetting of the Durham University undergraduate creative writing anthology. This project helped me push my problem-solving skills and taught me even more benefits of communicating and working with a team.
