The Landlord special
This project marks the beginning of my journey into graphic design, an area I am excited to explore and develop further.
My current project addresses the harsh reality of students living in poor conditions, directly reflecting the ongoing cost of living and housing crisis. I’m tackling this important issue in a unique and humorous way by creating a "Landlord Special Menu."
This digital menu highlights the uncomfortable truths that students often have to swallow when it comes to student accommodation. Through this digital campaign, I aim to bring attention to these challenges with a mix of satire and design.

The landlord special
Starter: Mouldy Melts
A delightful plate of stale crispy bread, topped with a secret blend of black mould, mildew, and just a hint of dampness. Let the mould fumes take you back to the good old days when you first noticed that mysterious smell in the hallway. Pairs well with a glass of whatever the landlord has promised to fix but never does.
Main Course: Leaky Stir-Fry with a side of Water Damage
A tasty blend of mystery vegetables, freezer burned meat and sprouted potatoes, sautéed under a constant stream of hallway leaks. The sauce is a perfect combination of water, paint, and the slight taste of depression.
Dessert: Landlord's Delight
A dish inspired by your landlord’s commitment to never fix anything! Taste the delicious parfait of half-melted ice cream, curdled yogurt, and questionably aged cream, all topped with a generous crumble of mystery green fuzz. Served with a side of broken freezer burn shards for that authentic "forgotten appliance" crunch.
Drinks that are available:
Choose from a variety of student accommodation “flavors”:
Soggy Soda: A carbonated beverage that tastes just as flat as your landlord’s promises.
Drip Coffee: Brewed fresh from the ceiling leak, adding that special flavour of regret.
Barrys special Tea: Brewed in an unheated room for that perfect, lukewarm experience.
