‘****’

A6 book exploring our digital passcodes

I am Alex Amy Allen, a graphic designer from Leeds, based in London. I specialise in editorial design, motion and typography.

My practise focuses on understanding the relationship between design and function,
which is presented through my bookmaking projects. Within these publications, I explore human relationships such as how people interact with digital spaces and the relationships with one another.



My further work explores the use of type, code and movement to create generative design systems. One of my favourites, '5JR' includes the exploration of a grid system and user input to create different outcomes.

While using my website, feel free to click on each project for more insight on their process.
