Ruby Scroop.

Hello, my name is Ruby. I am a communications designer that explores the contrast and harmonies of colour combinations and bold type with the influences of modern in combination of older 90s graphic styles. specialising with identity branding and conceptual posters, being both diverse yet a very distinct aesthetic and sense of visual appeal.

Interview.

Describe yourself in 3 words.
Humble, engaging and curious.

Hobby outside of design?
I don’t have a key hobby at the moment, but I’m looking to have one now that I have some extra time, however I would say my small current hobby is drinking- coffee, gin, wine, anything tasty :)

What type of design do you enjoy the most?
My work incorporates and explores the contrast and harmonies of colour combinations and bold type with the influences of modern in combination of older 90s graphic styles. Applying my style to work such as poster work, branding and identities, exploring how I can apply bold surreal designs to our society.

Who is your design inspiration and why?
I often look up to studios rather than singular designers, these studios being MASH Design, Studio OKOK and Frame Creative- all their work being full of contrasting colours and type, engaging, simple, yet very cool.

Looking through your portfolio, what is one piece of work that you are really proud of and why?
I am very much so proud of my wine labels and identify I developed for the project titled “lush” wines. Developing and designing this concept helped me engage with what type of design work I see myself working towards in the future, and helping me explore and improve on my own design style, creating an outcome that is out of the ordinary, yet something I want to push for to become the ordinary.

picnic at hanging rock (title sequence)
Set in the early 1900s, prestigious private girls school Appleyard College located near Mount Macedon in Victoria, the story follows school girl Miranda and her two close friends Marion and Irma who mysteriously vanish on a picnic field trip to scenic Hanging Rock. Reworking and setting the story in the 60s, the intentions of this title sequence were to highlight and enhance the aspects of what is real and what is surrealism and the constant mystery and suspenseful atmosphere throughout the entire storyline.
