Elliot Timms

I’m a UK based graphic designer with a practice based around experimenting across multiple methods of visual communication. My particular interests are within branding, typography, design for layouts & activism.

I’m captivated by clean, concise design which puts an emphasis on the audience and their visual desires. As I finish my final year of university, I find myself more motivated than ever to keep expanding my skillset and take on new challenges as a designer.

Original Machines

This is an identity based project challenging us to create a visual identity for an exhibition, conference & events series entitled ‘Original Machines’ at the Design Museum. The purpose of this event & exhibition is to explore the history & the current status of artificial intelligence’s (AI) ability to create, generate or (arguably) originate creative work.

My approach is to question the human link to AI through cinema and sci-fi references such as HAL-9000. We often see AI presented as a glamorised version of the human link to computers but at times it is still error prone. This idea is what fuelled my visual identity.

We Don't Want Your Money

This is a campaign based brief with the goal of raising awareness and increasing the number of people who donate a kidney to a stranger (altruistic donation).

My campaign uses the London Marathon as a launch event before expanding to a wider campaign. Marathons are usually run to raise money for a charity, but this campaign is asking people to do the opposite. This counter-intuitive methodology surrounding donation aims to make the audience question what they’re seeing and begin conversations about the campaign that will result in more people signing up for donation.
