Izzy Young talks us through her final-year Graphic Communication project on body positivity and physical health.
Izzy Young is a gym-going, food-loving graphic designer from Cardiff School of Art and Design with a love for typography in both print and digital design. Her strong interest in social design and its thought-provoking impact led to her final major project: an exploration of the fine line between body positivity and obesity. Izzy also works with a charity that raises awareness of period poverty in Cardiff, and her exploration of identity loss through cosmetic surgery has earned her a place in the International Society of Typographic Designers. After winning the Team Spirit Award at Big Ideas Wales and the Outstanding Studio Practice Award for her final degree show, Izzy is looking forward to entering the creative industry and furthering her skills.
