Alternate Design

TIDAL
Amy Hansen
Welcome to my portfolio!
Just as tides shape our environment, design is a force that gives structure and form to ideas and identity. My portfolio is an exploration of that concept, using tides to frame, explain and connect my projects.
All of these projects were completed as part of my MA in Graphic Design. While they may seem like a varied collection, each is rooted in my own experiences—life on a small island, local history, personal interests, and moments that sparked curiosity.
With a background in Comparative Literature, I began with a foundation in storytelling and research. This program expanded that into visual form—using typography, composition, imagery, and digital tools to shape how stories are communicated and experienced.
Together, these projects reflect how I approach design: bringing structure to ideas, clarity to information, and meaning to the stories we share.
