Brexit Passport — The Weather
Dezeen launched an unofficial competition to redesign the document that all UK citizens carry when traveling abroad.
My entry was along the nine who were shortlisted out of over 200 submitted entries.

Reports show that the weather in the UK is quite unique compared to the rest of the world. It’s the diversity and changeability that makes British weather so distinct, say meteorologists. Mainly because it’s an island and where it is placed.
I’ve therefore focused my passport around the British weather, with a focus on geometry. I want the passport to feel modern and fresh as we go into a new era for the UK.
The colours are inspired by the weather; blue rain, grey clouds and a yellow sun. With the combination of the typeface Objektiv, made by Dalton Maag with geometry in mind, I feel it rounds it all up.
"Each visa spread features a graphic interpretation of different weather phenomena – a page filled with blue dots represents hail while a page of intersecting yellow and blue stripes represents a sunshower. The minimal cover design, meanwhile, appears to be inspired by fog, featuring blocks of grey, blue and white, while the perky yellow stitching on the spine is a reminder of a sudden burst of sunshine after rain." — Dezeen
The passport have been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Design Museum and at the Clerkenwell Design Week.
Thanks for watching!
