Dylan Milton

Hi, I’m Dylan! Through my studies at the Typography department, I’ve developed a keen interest in both digital product and packaging design. What unites these fields is the importance of User Experience and incorporating UX principles into my design process to create empathetic, valuable, and engaging products is something I find deeply fulfilling. This is something I’d like to explore further professionally, whilst developing my broader creative skillset. Maintaining a dedicated and ambitious mindset, under pressure and in the face of adversity, is something I take great pride in. I’m committed to the journey of improving my philosophy and workflow to become the best designer I can be and look forward to pushing myself further.

Burial album redesign

A response to the Packaging project brief: A redesigning of the electronic artist Burial’s self-titled album. To mirror the surreal and introspective sonic space of ‘Burial’ (inspired by life in early 2000s South London), I envisioned concrete floating, fragmented into blocks, and fading into the distance, creating an unfamiliar, dystopian atmosphere.
This brief gave me the excuse to explore spectrogram software, 3D modelling software, and even physically casting concrete to produce collector’s edition items.

A Poison Tree

xA response to the Word & Image project brief: A short booklet combining the narratives of William Blake’s poem ‘A Poison Tree’ and the revenge story of Marianne Bachmeier. Working on this project helped me develop an appreciation for the versatility of sequential contexts and how word and image can be used creatively within these. Using the format of a booklet as a basis for playing with temporality was a particularly interesting and new learning experience. This is something that I fully embraced in my design approach, and I feel confident that this comes across through my use of symmetry.
