BA (Hons) Design for Publishing
Toby McLaren
I am graphic designer, specialising in typography and publishing design. NUA gave me the opportunity to work on live briefs with creative agencies and with creatives in the industry, including Little Brown Books and David Pearson. Working in these environments pushed me to try and advance into the creative industry more and expand my creative practice.
Freelance work and the recent launch of my first publication Kickstarter in addition to my university work has really pushed me and given me confidence in my creative practice. My love for magazines led me to Co-create an independent lifestyle magazine which we finished designing during lockdown and after a successful Kickstarter, is going into print in July.
As well as magazine design and typography, I have also developed skills within book design, basic animation, video editing and photography.
