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.
