Editorial Illustration
Editorial illustrations to help communicate the key messages of previously published articles in the New Scientist magazine.
The images are aimed at grabbing the attention of the reader and simultaneously serve to sum up the concepts and moods expressed in these features.
Advertising Posters
Promotional poster designs to encourage people of all ages to visit Crystal Palace Park and discover the dinosaur statues created in Victorian times by sculptor and natural illustrator Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. The park is currently undergoing a makeover as part of a regeneration project, with a new dinosaur playground constructed alongside the Victorian sculptures. The aim of these advertisements is to raise awareness of the re-birth of Crystal Palace Park.
The horizontal poster was designed for in-train carriage advertising. It would be installed above windows and seating areas, guaranteeing high visibility across a wide range of passenger routes. The humorous dinosaurs are dressed in Victorian clothes to attract both adults and children and to inform potential visitors of the park’s history.
The vertical poster was designed for London Underground and Overground platform and escalator advertisements, at targeted stations. The dinosaurs are depicted as playful characters to reflect the sculptures which are wildly inaccurate compared with modern-day interpretations. The people in the poster are from Victorian and contemporary times to promote the park’s history and continued current appeal.
Merchandising
Product design and prototype retail products for Historic Environment Scotland Giftshops
Designed and created a coaster-set of four popular castles owned by Historic Scotland; Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle, Urquhart Castle and St Andrews Castle.
Each coaster was cut to shape, displaying a line drawing of a castle on one side and a tartan design on the other. The coasters slot together into a fortified wall, so they can be displayed when not in use. The tartan is inspired by Historic Environment Scotland’s brand colours.
Paper packaging for the product was created using brand guidelines and hand-drawn elements. To promote sustainability, minimal paper packaging was used, and recycled MDF wood was selected.
Using the tartan design for inspiration, gift wrap and gift tags were created as supplementary retail products.
Visual Development
Visual Development for a dundee dragon charcter and it’s enviroment.
Which then was used in a collaberative animation with the class.
Penguin Cover Design Award
Cover design for A Wrinkle in Time by Madeline L’Engle, depicting the three witches explaining ‘a wrinkle in time’, a form of space travel, to Meg, Charles and Calvin.
A colourful cartoon-style drawing was created digitally to attract the target audience of children, parents and carers.
