Ellie Sage
b.2002

I'm an interdisciplinary Graphic Designer and Illustrator from the West Country. I specialise in both analogue and digital publication and print, often grounded in tactile processes and physical experimentation. Thematically, I’m drawn to ideas around identity, heritage and ruralism, pulling from both personal experience and wider cultural narratives.

Typesetting
University (Final Project)
Spreads from the adjoining dissertation for ‘The Things You Know Make You Go’. Answering the question: How can publication design serve as a method for uncovering and preserving intergenerational memory and identity? 

The publication is typeset and designed as a deconstructed version of my Great-Grandfather Roy’s Bible, intended and set up for print (with InDesign), in a typeface that he used in his own published books as a successful Osteopath. Paired with a similar, more modern choice of my own. Imagery from the family archive I curated over the course of the project.
