At Spinning Gold, I served as artistic director, leading a team of three artistic leads. We collaborated to establish a new branding for this year's edition. I chose to use riso-inspired, minimalist graphics to create a tone that is both clean and playful. I interpreted the Goldsmiths' mascots, which include a tiger, and the theme of "Weaving Tales" set by the editor-in-chief, to create a mascot called Spider Tiger.

Working closely with the editors, our team managed to weave brilliant contributions from numerous MA students and interviews of amazing people in the children's literature landscape such as Joseph Coelho, Michael Rosen, Chris Haughton, Jenny Downham and Ticiele de Camargo in an over 200-pages A4 journal.

I also designed various artworks for social media content and our promotional event with Michael Rosen and poet Laurie Bolger, such as posters and postcards.
