Amy Court
Bachelor of Design - Graphic and Communication Design
Throughout my graphic design practice, I have found a love for branding, communication design, and layouts. I always aim to create positive change and focus on the idea of communication being structured in a way to make people's lives easier. I find that I particularly enjoy accommodating for different criteria, which can be seen throughout all of my design work.
I have received a Griffith Award for Academic Excellence in both 2019 and 2020. I have participated in the Liveworm internship program twice during my degree: once online during lockdown, and another in the Liveworm studio. This was an incredible experience, and definitely a highlight, especially since Liveworm was one of the reasons why I chose to study at Griffith. I loved being able to respond to real-world briefs and do my best to provide my client with the best outcome that I could. Liveworm's environment and being able to comfortably interact with tutors and other students helped me to strive to keep working hard and do my best, as well as helped me gain a better understanding for what I would want to do for work in the future.

Ocean Record Vinyl Slip: A design intended to capture the likeness of the ocean to accompany the ocean themed sounds and music on the record itself. The design doubles as decor as well, and the project as a whole is inspired by 'Biophilia'.
While studying at QCA, I have been allowed to explore my skills and develop new ones through every project. I was particularly excited to take part in Liveworm (2021), where I was able to experience what it is like to work in a design studio with clients and directors guiding my learning experience. In studying at QCA, I have developed a taste for design in illustration, typography and branding in particular and look forward to applying my skills in the design industry.
