Luke Dyer

Over my 3 years at Reading I have flourished as a designer through the help of the staff and course mates. As a result I have become confident in my abilities in visual communication while gaining a great appreciation for design styles like Swiss Design as well as the micro details of the design process. The range of diverse projects throughout my time has enabled me to become a highly skilled designer, from UX to editorial design to branding. All of this has translated to real-world applications where I have worked with multiple clients through real jobs as well as personal projects, such as running social media.

Courtside Magazine

Courtside is an NBA-based magazine which covers the yearly NBA champion winning team, in this case the Boston Celtics. The magazine showcases the team’s success and struggles through the year alongside results, player transactions, player and coach interviews and game recaps. All of this is encapsulated under an urban design style with graffiti type to tie back to the history of the game and the global influence it holds.

Aries WELCOME HOME

Aries released the ‘WELCOME HOME’ album in which a full repackage was held to refocus the album in line with the artist and his music. Within this project one of the products I created was a pack of playing cards. The box utilised the colours relating to the artist’s heritage with a hidden Spotify link to the album and the main theme showcasing life and death. While the cards were reimagined with new suit icons and additional imagery embedded that related to the album cover redesign.
