My project responds to a lack of enrichment and personal development in the face of the younger generation’s addiction to fast-paced digital media. Instead of acting as a layout for specific ways to respond to hobbies, it aims to inspire the audience, whilst reducing the pressures that are often associated with hobbies to become something commercial. It aims to do this through a hobby guide, a pictogram typeface, collectible items and promotional animations.

Final work

  • This is an image of an A5 catalogue being held open, showing a bright yellow cover, a green insert and a collage page
  • This is an image of an A5 green Hobby Catalogue being held up, showing the front cover
  • This is an image of 6 A5 hobby catalogues of varying colours, displayed in a diagonal grid formation
This is an image of a the back cover of a greyscale type specimen showcasing a pixelated pictogram of a necklace

The project is accompanied by a pictogram style typeface, which showcases an extensive array of hobbies, offering an identity for hobbyists.

  • This is a zoomed in image of a larger body of work, showcasing a magnet, the corners of three books, and the corner of a sticker sheet.
  • This is an image of two packaged cross-stitch hobby badges, one of a blue kite symbol and one of a black necklace symbol.

In an age of reduced attention spans and a need for constant innovation, this promotional video ironically takes advantage of the disconnected young person to guide them into re-connecting with the physical.
