Sarah Thorne
Im a graphic designer based in London. Since training at Central Saint Martins and graduating with a 1st Class Hons degree I have gone on to work for agencies, studios and magazines. Currently I work for Topshop as their Creative Designer, based just off Oxford Street. At the moment I’m designing the packaging for the new Topshop Make Up range, an ongoing project, which has been a real success since launching on the 5th of May 2010. This project in particular has involved a great deal of travel, sourcing componentry, paper stocks and print internationally.
Beyond the Make Up range, my work has been predominantly fashion-based, creating print for small and large events, working for a range of people from corporate clients to small boutiques. I’ve created branding, graphics packages for launches, invitations, posters and flyers. I have designed window schemes, exhibition spaces, cafes, catwalk shows and commissioned installations. Working with photographers and copy writers I have enjoyed varied editorial work for magazines, fanzines and newspaper formats.
Designing materials which engage people is really important to me. It has always been my objective to undertake each new project as something very special, in the hope of attracting attention and communicating clearly. If it suits a brief, I enjoy making things by hand, using collage, painting, printing and illustration.
