Shades of Noir
Design Developer for Shades of Noir.
Role: Creating digital resources such as presentation, branding and publications, designing infographics and promotional material for journals.
Shades of Noir is an organisation that promotes diversity and inclusion with Higher Education.
They support and encourage discussion around issues that People of Colour face within the
Arts communities.
As a design developer, my primary role is designing the Terms of Reference (ToR) Journals.
These journals contain a multiplicity of voices, intersectional perspectives and modes of communications, acknowledging global research centres and institutions within each publication.
Inclusive and accessible design were a priority when creating the ToRs to be able to reach a diverse range of audience.

Below are the journals which I have designed!
