My concept is inspired by 1970s science fiction graphic art and storytelling in graphic novels. I offer a thought-provoking and striking interpretation of the end of civilisation, using vibrant imagery and typography to convey this theme. The design illustrates civilisation's downfall through text excerpts, desolate landscapes, and impactful quotes, creating a sense of movement that reflects time as the fourth dimension. This concept arises from my desire to highlight the potential consequences for humanity if we don't change our course. H.G. Wells recognised these issues as early as 1895.

Once I survived cancer, I returned to university to pursue a Bachelor of Design with a major in Communication Design. I have held various roles in the publishing process, including cartographer, layout designer, and permissions researcher. I am also a passionate photographer. In 2010, I returned to study for a diploma at RMIT and have a deep appreciation for all creative fields, including art, design, film, photography, music, and writing. I get much exhilaration from photography and graphic design, and I aim to become a book designer.
