Punk in a Box
Punk Inspired Multimedia Design Kit
Project Brief:
For this assignment, I was tasked with selecting a well-known graphic designer and creating a project that embodies their essence without simply copying their style. I chose Jamie Reid, best known for his work with the Sex Pistols and his influence on the U.K. punk scene. My goal was to capture the rebellious spirit of Reid’s work and translate it into a modern context.

Insights:
Jamie Reid’s work was heavily influenced by the desire to challenge the status quo, much like the punk movement itself. Through in-depth research, including interviews and articles about Reid and the punk scene, I explored how the social and cultural climate of that time parallels the frustrations felt by the youth today. This project was a way to bridge that gap and highlight the enduring yet wrathful spirit of rebellion.
Audience:
The target audience includes individuals interested in punk culture, counterculture movements, and social activism, particularly those who resonate with the desire for change in both past and present social climates.
The Mess And Play Of Design
What I Learned:
This project deepened my understanding of how design can be a form of social and cultural expression. It challenged me to not only honor Jamie Reid’s rebellious spirit but to also make it relevant to the current social climate. I learned how to thoughtfully integrate research and storytelling into physical products, making this one of my most fulfilling projects at CCS.
