HUMAIN RADIO is a speculative listening experience. At its core is a future-facing radio broadcast set in the year 2060—an exploration of where music might be headed in an age shaped by artificial intelligence.








Through a specially curated radio broadcast displayed through an app and an immersive sit down exhibition, the project aims to spark curiosity, conversation and critical thought about how these technologies could reshape the sound and soul of the music industry for the better or the worse.
- An app that plays the futuristic ai radio station with mock interviews from music industry people.
- a 3D designed living room space that would help deepen the listening experience
- a promotional campaign for the broadcast that has poster designs, billboards and a motion ad
My thesis was an analysis of the evolution of multicultural representation in the superhero genre from comic books to the silver screen. More specifically, my thesis examined the rise of the first black superhero known as ‘The Black Panther’ from his beginnings as a side character in a 1966 Fantastic Four comic to the eventual release of his own movie in 2018 that grossed over a billion dollars. The goal of my thesis was to highlight the importance of representation through the lens of the American comic book; a medium that was historically only written and drawn by white men, however eventually adapted to the changing tide of modern society and would cater for a more modern and diverse audience. The three main chapters in my thesis break down the evolution of the superhero genre chronologically from the 1960s to the late 2010s. Key arguments such as how consumerism’s stereotyping of and lack of knowledge on African Americans has delayed the progression of black culture. As well as how damaging inauthenticity can be when writing for and drawing other races, religions and cultures. Why representation was so important for children and adults alike was prominently featured in my thesis.

Hey, I'm Jacques! I'm a graphic designer of Irish and Rwandan heritage, blending diverse perspectives into bold, expressive design. My work lives at the intersection of motion graphics, brand identity, web design, and art direction. I am always driven by concept, storytelling, and a love for the abstract. I thrive on world-building and creating vibrant visual languages that spark curiosity and emotion. Whether it’s a dynamic animation or a full brand universe, I aim to craft experiences that feel imaginative, unexpected, and visually resonant. I gained experience at Good as Gold during a work placement, and continued working there over the summer.
