THE BRIEF

During my internship at The Photobook Café, I worked across archival research, graphic design and publicity. The brief involved identifying gaps within the archive while developing ways to increase awareness and engagement through an updated visual identity and promotional materials.

MY APPROACH

I analysed the archive to identify underrepresented themes and publications, recommending new additions and contacting independent publishers about potential donations. I then translated this research into a curated display and developed posters, leaflets and promotional assets that extended the Café’s identity and supported its publicity and Zine Club.

WHAT I SOLVED

I explored how research and graphic design could work together to make an archive more engaging and accessible, while strengthening the Café’s visual presence and connection with its audience.

WHAT OTHERS CAN TAKE FROM IT

The project demonstrates my ability to combine research, visual identity and communication to create design that is both purposeful and audience-focused.
