The protagonist is Nan Astley, an oyster girl from Whitstable, Kent. I created six props which told the story of her trips to Canterbury’s Music Halls where she fell in love with male impersonator, Kitty Butler in the summer of 1888. The six props are a theatre programme, a theatre ticket, a train ticket, a cigarette packet, a calling card and a receipt from a millinery shop. x The majority of props were digitally printed and hand finished, e.g. calligraphy for the receipt. I screen printed the cigarette packet, to recreate an accurate colour palette. The items were subtly distressed to look as if they’d been handled. To ensure accuracy I conducted first hand research and looked at many examples of Victorian typography and illustration, such as newspapers and adverts, to understand and capture the design aesthetics of the period and make sure every detail was correct. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d01d2e9eab82361f4f1d7b24657df77c85d2e2cfffc98d1627b123b0220402b6/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-1.jpg" data-mid="78437104" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d01d2e9eab82361f4f1d7b24657df77c85d2e2cfffc98d1627b123b0220402b6/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-1.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/449daa6d436246f63646bf314cbaab895f76be9899a1b7a263ce038ec425d56d/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-2.jpg" data-mid="78437103" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/449daa6d436246f63646bf314cbaab895f76be9899a1b7a263ce038ec425d56d/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-2.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/912cb8d7f1a491a12a61746805384c8ec7fcb915a55ada1fc70842072efe8fd9/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-5.jpg" data-mid="78437100" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/912cb8d7f1a491a12a61746805384c8ec7fcb915a55ada1fc70842072efe8fd9/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-5.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68d8b1385f3e883311702493a689a8197713dd8db9b26ca9c15d2fc26a2510f1/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-4.jpg" data-mid="78437101" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/68d8b1385f3e883311702493a689a8197713dd8db9b26ca9c15d2fc26a2510f1/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-4.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dd0e08326c8a89db15494920bec059cf0f78a7355f6bc362a0e96f61eed8ed6d/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-3.jpg" data-mid="78437102" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dd0e08326c8a89db15494920bec059cf0f78a7355f6bc362a0e96f61eed8ed6d/Ishbel-Amyatt-Leir-IP-3.jpg" />︎︎︎ Previous&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Next ︎︎︎ https://amyattleir.com/The-Parting-Glass Mon, 29 Jun 2020 12:02:18 +0000 Iskander Amyatt-Leir https://amyattleir.com/The-Parting-Glass The Parting Glass GRAPHIC PROPS | CONTEMPORARY | BOOK BINDING Design and production of hero prop book and newspaper, featuring scripted content, for a contemporary short film.

My preference for analogue and hand-made methods of production and interest in vintage and period design, particularly 19th and 20th century British Design, led me to pursue a career as a graphic designer for film and television. The resources at LCC also enabled me to explore and develop my book arts, screen printing and letterpress skills. During a year in industry I was lucky enough to work on a range of productions including Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch, Series 2 of Amazon Prime’s Hanna, and Coronation Street. Themes in my work revolve around queer representation in media and fan culture. My thesis on fan responses to queer representation was the perfect outcome for someone whose teens were embedded fan communities and binging nerdy TV shows. I bring conceptual thinking, good crafting skills and a strong design sensibility along with a solid academic and theoretical background. I am non-binary and use they/them pronouns.
